Here's a crazy thought, the mayor of Varallo, Italy has agreed to pay his residents to lose weight.  Specifically, $70 will go to men who lose 9 lbs. and women that lose 7 lbs.  And that's not all, those who keep it off for five months will get paid an additional $280, with a grand total of $350 potential earnings just from taking care of yourself.

What a pathetic world we live in.
