THE American man who helped
the Ohio kidnap victims may
need to watch his weight in the
future, after he was granted free
hamburgers for life as a reward.
Charles Ramsay attracted
worldwide attention after telling
his story of the dramatic rescue
to local reporters, saying he “put
down his Big Mac” and rushed to
help after hearing screams from
his neighbour’s house.
A Cleveland food blogger has
now confirmed that at least 15
local restaurants have offered to
give him a free burger any time he
wants it.
An intriguing survey published in
the US has found that more than
half of Americans would rather
lose $1,000 than gain twenty
pounds of weight.
That was the opinion of 63%
of women and 48% of men,
in response to the annual
online survey conducted by the
International Food Informational
Council Foundation.
“Twenty pounds outweighs
a thousand dollars because it
could cost more than a thousand
dollars to lose the weight if you
consider the price of weight loss
programs,” said a spokesperson.
“And those extra pounds could
take a toll on your health and
ultimately increase your medical
costs,” she added.
The survey also found that 56%
of respondents said they were
trying to lose weight.
