My solution to Obesity

An increasingly common surgical technique to "cure" obesity in todays enlarging population involves the placement of a rubber band device around the stomach, physically restricting the size it can become. This encourages, or more accurately, forces the avid eater to reduce their meal portions, and thus ideally helps them loose weight.
The reason this procedure is opted over traditional willingly eating less and excercising is precicely that: they can still try to eat as much as they did (although this may lead to 'anti-eating' a lot of this food) and they don't have to exercise to see results.

However, I have an idea that can reduce the individuals size down 'naturally', without the need to eat less nor exercise.
It is quite simple in theory, and surgically not too complex.
Here it is:

We can surgically generate Huntington's disease in people wishing to loose weight.
This only involves removing or damaging a small portion of a section of the brain (the basal ganglia, to be precise).
The patient will no longer be able to sit still, focus, and the constant twitching and uncontrollable jerks will result with rapid, and permanent weight loss.

Premature death may be a side-effect, but they were on that road anyway, so why not stay on that road whilst looking good?

It wont be long before the obese youth of Denmark are comparing the intensity of their spasms after a good dose of 'Hunty'.
