Survey Found People Want Health More Than Wealth

Would you prefer to be fat and wealthy for the rest of your life? Or would you rather maintain a healthy weight with an adequate income?

One thousand randomly sampled American women and men recently answered that question in a survey commissioned by Weight Watchers International.

The poll found that 89 percent would prefer a healthy weight and adequate income, while 9 percent opted to be fat and wealthy.

Two percent couldn’t make up their minds.
