Pay gyms for obese kids
South Korea plans to help obese children pay for health club membership and other activities that can help them lose weight, an official said on Wednesday.
Health ministry official Chun Myung-sook said the rate of childhood obesity had tripled over the past three years due to a changing diet higher in fatty foods and a more sedentary lifestyle.
