In order to fight obesity and increase employment, UK Health Minister Wes Streeting suggested weight loss tips for jobless people, which would relieve burden on the National Health Service.

Wes Streeting, the health minister of the United Kingdom, has made the audacious suggestion that weight loss shots be made available to jobless people in an effort to combat the growing obesity rates and their effects on the National Health Service (NHS). According to his Telegraph column, this proposal will help individuals get back to work while easing the NHS's financial burden.

Obesity's impact on the NHS
Streeting drew attention to the enormous strain that "widening waistbands" are putting on the NHS, stating that obesity-related problems cost the health service more than smoking-related costs each year, at almost £11 billion. "On average, people who suffer from obesity-related illnesses take four more sick days annually, and many others are unable to work at all," he wrote in his article.
