alt Hacker NewsI feel bad for suggesting this, but what about using prison population for researching dietary science? Every single part of their life is controlled. As long as it's humane (stuff like coffee vs no coffee).

They're not guaranteed to eat what they are served - unless you're going to do force feeding as well.
So it's still not great.

A certain prison industrial complex does not need more incentives.
This has been done. However prisoners have very different activity levels - they are confined to a cell for 20 hours a day. Office works get up a lot more often and generally are in the office less hours.
