In May, I opined on giving Americans a tax deduction based on a healthy BMI (Body Mass Index).

Yesterday, Brian Sullivan of Fox Business News blogged on a similar idea. His blog can be found here.
Today, Brian and Degan McDowell and I discussed the idea on air. My point is that, when it comes to healthcare reform, we seem to be discussing everything except diet and exercise ... and personal responsibility.
We talked about tax incentives (the "carrot") as well as the political time bomb of a fat VAT (the "stick").
All things considered -- a very timely conversation.
The complete video interview can be found here.
As Julia Child would say: "Bon Appetit!"
