If you have an ailing patient, you don't punish her into getting better, you treat her. It makes no sense to say "You appear to be malnourished, so if you behave like a nourished person, I'll give you food." #txlegehttps://twitter.com/hassettfive/status/1058764704284397568 …
Those who are nourished would simply get more food while the malnourished would continue to suffer. I'm a fan of incentivizing good behavior, but that is only effective when you haven't already removed the tools for success.
