Except that weight loss has implications for other things- like heart disease and stroke-

OK, but you said diabetes was the objective because it was so expensive to treat. Broaden the objective and there are lots of other issues.

I don't favor paying people to lose weight for a variety of reasons. I can support restricting foods that can be purchased with dole bucks.

Edit: I would pay for gastric bypass surgery, though.
