Give slim students extra marks, says French diet guru
Dukan, who has sold eight million copies of his book worldwide, made the proposal in a 250-page book called An Open Letter to the Future President, which he sent out yesterday to 16 candidates for France’s presidential election.
The plan calls for secondary school students to be allowed to take a so-called “ideal weight” option in their final year exams, the baccalaureat, under which they would earn extra points if they kept a body mass index of between 18 and 25.
