Exactly. Since Denmark has free health care the Government does a lot to prevent people from getting obese and thereby keeping the costs down. The latest efford it so force people to work out by giving them a "prescription of workout" as they call it. Luckily the "prescription of workout" project has been a great success here! There are many senior citizens that work out at my gym
