A new study reveals that worldwide, male prisoners are slimmer than men in the general population, and female prisoners are more obese than the general population - apart from in the UK.Captive populations can have their caloric intakes controlled.
Conducted by Dr. Katharine Herbert, Department of Public Health, University of Oxford, UK and her team, the study is the first systematic analysis of diet, exercise, overweight, and obesity in prison populations worldwide.
Researchers have the opportunity to address major public health risk factors by studying vulnerable populations like prisoners. Not taking advantage of this opportunity translates into a high cost to society.
Caloric intake control is the absolute key to weight management.
In the case of fat female prisoners, all that needs to be done is serve them fewer Calories.
In the case of a fat general population, once conscripted, all that needs to be done is serve them fewer Calories than they burn.
Plus, the drafted will provide service to the country and learn some self-discipline.
It is a win-win.
Unless some silly PC BS supersedes doing the right thing.
