Well here's what they can do with this data. They can target advertising for those programs more accurately.
If the average fat American was visited by a representative from a government-sponsored weight loss program, and encouraged to register and participate, I bet there would be fewer fat Americans.
But maybe I have my head way up my ass and America is hopelessly fat.
Here's a thought: currently the weight loss and exercise industry is thriving. Some people don't want to spend the money they feel they have to in order to lose weight. What if the government made it a lot cheaper for them?
