ninja101약 11년Gold, the best mineral on the planet for motivation- Pessimest약 11년Some things could really go wrong because people could be desparate and stop eating and be like guys I lost 100 pounds I'm worth 200g and my sone lost 50 so I 1000g I'm rich 4000 us dollars yeahhhh
analise약 11년OK... I didn't really follow on that..
crystalmori약 11년Yeah, that could be bad.... Hopefully people would be more sensible than that, though.
spinnypeeps약 11년What if some kids just have muscle weight? Plus, what if their parents just force their. Kids to lose weight?- analise약 11년OOH! I can answer! In order to have muscle, kids must gain weight and then work out in order to gain muscle.
- anonymous약 11년i cant believe they are giving gold to people for losing weight! thats just making gold more scarce.
- crystalmori약 11년But obesity can hurt people's heath and cause them to die early. A person's life is worth more than all the gold in the world to those who love them, so I think it's an appropriate price.

cheetahluver약 11년Yeah, but doing that could lead to situations where they try to stop eating and then end up not being able to eat at all.- cheetahluver약 11년And some people really love money, so they would go crazy trying to lose weight.
