Through some programs in some companies, that include the place where my friend works. They give some sort of incentive to motivate you to eat well, live well, and just be healthy. Usually, they will give you $50 - $100 reward to report how healthy you are. And encourage you to continue to be so. As I mentioned before, at my work, employer also give $50 incentives toward our paycheck, and want every single one of us to fill out the health form, and report how healthy we are. Even though some people are in the risk of health problem, they still encourage them to follow some online guideline to improve their health. This is a great step for our company to concern about the average employees. Great move!

I think that it is absolutely fantastic that there are companies that are willing to help their employees in this way, and I certainly think that this should be the way forward. Giving a reward for people who choose to be healthier sounds like a brilliant idea if they can afford to do so. There are so many health issues in the world at the moment that anything that could be done about it really should be if there is any chance that it could be the case. I wish that everyone in the world would be so supportive of people who are trying to make a healthy change to their life, as it is something that everyone should be doing.

This is interesting, and a Great idea. Considering there are so many people that continue to eat things that are not good, and are careless about the foods and such that are healthy for them, this is a sad thing, so when you have companies that reward people for eating and being Healthy that is a plus. I know sometimes the attitudes and such that a company helps display to and with their workers often means a better outlook from all of them as well.

I believe all employers should do some form of this. Many americans with sit down jobs are just gaining and gaining and getting more and more unhealthy. I feel that America would be a LOT healthier if all employers had some form of eat well and stay healthy incentive.
Also, I feel that certain schools, in more poverty level neighborhoods and school districts should provide the same thing to its students and their families.
