I agree. But that doesn't mean it can't be implemented in other ways such as the one in the article.

Being out of shape has a bigger impact on health spending than any other medical problem. Not to mention the fact that it's really unhealthy for people long term.

It is not ok to be fat. College is the last stage before true adulthood and certain life habits are taught in it. This is just another one.
