Fascinating. The "un-walkable streets" connection is cogently put - and the paying for every pound lost solution really does have merit. The hidden costs just in in medical handling: like larger hospital beds; strengthened trolleys; enlarged ambulances; more nurses and so on must surely outweigh (unintended pun) the simplicity of the dieting solution.
I too hope this can get past the party political stage and into mainstream thought.
