Abstract
David Cameron recently proposed that those suffering from obesity and addiction might lose access to benefits if they refuse treatment. Critics, meanwhile, argue that the state should instead focus on increasing regulation of unhealthy products. In this article, Ranj Alaaldin argues that the problem should be confronted on both ends – it would be irresponsible not to encourage self-discipline and personal responsibility.
