Fat Indian girl wins against weight loss center

Hey Motu! Put the gulab jamun down! A woman successfully sued a weight loss center in Ahmedabad when she failed to lose weight as they'd told her she would. As a result, a consumer protection agency in Ahmedabad ruled that Anju Chajjer (the fattie) should get a refund of fees plus damages. We find this troubling because unless the center had a money back guarantee, we don't think regulatory bodies should get involved in these matters. As it is, Indian women are not very health conscious and so it is hard to know if Anju was eating butter naans all day long or not. If the weight loss center was ineffective, word would get out and market forces would eventually cause for it go under. This type of intervention on behalf of fat people especially we find troubling.

    Well, if hundreds of other ladies are losing weight, then one must consider either lifestyle, like you mentioned or some serious health issue.
