Not sure if this is actually dumb but certainly not going to do much for self esteem...
I doubt that will do anything to combat the problem. Probably just send the person straight to the nearest donut stand to comfort eat.
Source of this http://www.news.com.au/'Put obesity number on clothes'
LARGE-sized clothing should carry tags with an obesity helpline number, a British Medical Journal report has said.
The report, compiled by a group of public health professionals, has recommended the phone numbers be placed on tags on women's garments sized 16 and above, and on those with a waist measurement of more than 100 centimetres for men.

Holy crap on a cracker!

Your taxdollars at work................
In Ringwood, New Jersey, officials with the state Dept. of Health and Senior Services issued a health warning to residents that they should limit their intake of squirrel to no more than twice a week(for children, once per month).......the reason; there's a toxic waste dump just down the road from the town.

More taxdollars at work...........
Local government officials at a tourist center in Swindon, England declined to sell a World War I-themed book, "Tell Them of Us", written by author Mark Sutton unless Sutton showed that he carried liability insurance.....not to protect the tourist center from any "libelious" remarks in Sutton's book, but......to protect them from lawsuits should any person who buys the book at their center....suffers a papercut while reading the book. Said Swindon Borough Council president Richard Freeman, "We have to cover every eventuality."

Another example of your taxdollars at work........
A friend of mine who lives in Anchorage, AK recently told me about a little screw-up the state's Department of Revenue had earlier this year. Unique among the 50 states, Alaskan residents receive a yearly dividend check from the Alaska Permanent Fund courtesy of the state's vast oil revenues.....what happened was that officials' from the state DOR erased all the computer records(backups' included) of the Permanent Fund from their systems.........meaning that the state's 600,000+ residents had to wait over two months for their checks(average yearly checks have run in the $1000-$1200 dollar range.
Alaska's slogan ought to be......."Working to aggravate the average person in every way possible."

Didn't You Ever Want to Ride This Trolley............?
Apparently, Seattle city officials need refresher training in acronyms......recently, they began running the South Lake Union Streetcar for residents of that community; unfortunately, residents in the area petitioned the city to change the name from the South Lake Union Streetcar to the........wait for it, wait for it.............the South Lake Union Trolley, which city officials accepted. (Insert punchline into your reaction on this one........ ) In fact, residents of the South Lake area have taken this a step further, printing hundreds of shirts emblazoned with the phrase, "Ride the S.L.U.T."
