    I am also somewhat surprised this is considered dystopian, unless they are forced on people. Being overweight exacerbates the negative effects of my mental and physical illnesses. Seems to me that offering better quality of life to those that can afford it is surprisingly decent of the UK government

      Of course it’ll be forced on people.

        I don’t live in the UK, so I don’t how things are done. Is there sine precedence for forcing drugs on people?
