    If you had to eat more food, I'd be spending tht money on Gym membership to stop you putting on weight.

    Wow thats alot to spend on a gym membership.. Go for runs in parks, its free.

    I dont mind getting fat for the sake of 24k.. thats assuming the magic diet pills (or whatever) doesnt work. I think the issue is exactly how does it stop you from putting on weight and what are the potential side effects.

    erm, I think the point is to eat more and let the magic pill do all the work. I think your new employers would be a tad upset if they found out you where spending your hard earned (?) wages on a gym membership.

    My brother-in-law was once involved in a drugs-test as a guinea-pig. It was something to do with weight-loss pills. There was one major side-effect which was a bit of a drawback - he farted continuously and loudly all the time whilst taking them.

    Sounds like these are fat-binding pills, so at a guess they'll have a similar effect except more "liquid"

    You are going to be paid £24k but have to eat a fifth more food compared to normal. I don't think I'd want to risk my health for £24k as you may suffer side effects.

    wasn't there a drug test that landed 10 people in hospital seriously ill a few years ago?

    Wonder if you could combine that one with your normal day job, just think you'd nearly have the wage of some teachers then
