Looking for new ways to trim the fat and boost workers' health, some employers are starting to make overweight employees pay if they don't slim down.

Just recently I was in a hospital that is big on heart and lung health. Their big bug-a-boo is of course smoking but their techs and some nurses are anywhere from 20, 40, to 50 pounds or more over weight, I never saw as many obese people in one place...another fault is their hair is often long and not pulled back leaving it hanging into where a wound is or into the patients food......This article is long over due. The next time you are at a Mall, count the fit people you see……you will be surprised at how few there are.

On a side topic. I never see fit food like Cliff bar wrappers and such as litter on the ground.

I usually see Fast food wrappers and such but not fit type food wrappers. Probably just only the amount of fast food places around but wonder if people who take good care of their body also don’t litter as much.
