Sending obese people to third world countries for weight loss; iin?

So was thinking the other day, and all of a sudden this idea popped into my head; "What if America sent all its obese people over to a third world country for weight loss?"

I personally think its a good idea, these countries don't have the things that we do (obviously) they survive off of whatever they can get their hands on, like bugs and dirt! It's perfect!

They're not allowed to come back until they've lost the recommended weight for a person their size is supposed to lose, or until they stop taking things like food for granted. They'll go over there with the necessities like toothpaste and soap but that's pretty much it.

That's my solution for the obesity in this country.

Is it normal I had this epiphany? Is it a good idea?

    Hmmmm, your idea is about as good as sending all of the intolerant self-centred people (in America) to a "third world" country for personality reconditioning - they wouldn't be allowed to return home until they'd learned how to be empathetic.

          No, because they will have to scavenge for their food

    lol that made me laugh hard.

    They would probably end up prostituting themselves in exchange for hot pockets.

    Believe it or not, we have fat-asses in third-world countries too. (and internet - gasp!)
    Most third-world countries are sufficiently developed so so you can buy a variety of foods (people generally don't just live in the bush) - and the food is cheaper too.
    They won't stop eating large portions - especially if they can get it for less.
    The only difference it that fast-food chains like McDonalds are less abundant outside the cities, but they can still cook their own fattening food or buy it elsewhere.

    Why don't we send all the stupid people to M.I.T. for education?

    Obese people should be sectioned, like go into rehab or something or their weight monitored.

    Then who would be around to eat all the excess grease? They'll just throw them to the birds to eat and you know better than anyone that it's really not a good idea to grease that magical pigeon. He called out to me. He said that It holds the secret to the lost vault of the six crispy, golden, fried turkey basters. Each baster holds an unimaginable amount of power. Greasing him would scatter them and potentially put them in the wrong hands, dooming the entire planet to 69 years of cold fire and scalding hot ice. DO YA WANT THAT TO HAPPEN OP?! WELL, DO YA?!
