Around the
With One Question
In our latest global survey, 15 of 16 countries said they would choose $10,000 over the ability to lose 10 pounds for good. Russians voted for money over weight loss by the steepest margin – not surprising in a country experiencing the most extreme economic decline (after Singapore) of all those surveyed. India was the only country where a slight majority (53%) preferred to lose the weight. One thing's for sure: $10,000 in any currency is a lot of dough.
