SEVERAL enterprising Chinese entrepreneurs have come up with a radical new weight loss concept - getting paid to eat delicious food on behalf of dieters.
According to the Beijing Evening News, the idea is to (kind of) satisfy cravings by tasting dishes and then describing the experience, creating a "second-hand dining experience without the calories".
The sellers film themselves consuming the unhealthy items and send a video to their clients, charging the cost of the food plus a small "service fee".
One social media listing promises to "help you eat whatever you want!. Don't worry about getting fat, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure - I will take all the risks for you!"
Another seller highlighted McDonald's, KFC, desserts and barbecued meat as examples of things he would eat for a fee.
And while we're on the subject of consuming fast food, American burger chain Arby's has launched a promotion offering 10 lucky clients a 24-hour vacation in Hawai'i for just US$6.
The winners of the Hawai'ian Getaway campaign will receive a first class flight to Honolulu, and upon arrival be taken to a local Arby's restaurant to taste the new King Hawaiian sandwich range.
They'll then head back to the airport for the flight home, with the trip only including about six hours in Hawai'i and promising "No volcanoes, no pineapple farms...just you, sweet buns, tender meats and a Hawai'ian paradise to eat them in".
