Japan Imposes "Fine On Fat"
An anonymous reader writes "A recently-introduced law in Japan requires all businesses to have mandatory obesity checks (video link) for all their employees and employees' family members over the age of 40, CNN reports. If the employee or family member is deemed obese, and does not lose the extra fat soon, their employer faces large fines. The legislated upper limit for the waistline is 33.5" for men, and 35.5" for women. Should America adopt universal health insurance, could we live to see the same kind of individual health regulations imposed on us by the government? By comparison, the average waistline in America in 2005 was 39 inches for men, 37 inches for women."
"Your are the one that read some and yet insisted that I really meant ALL just so you could argue"
BZZZZT WRONG.
Reread the thread, if you're not an imbecile, you'll see why you're wrong with this statement.
Hint: perhaps I was referring to the ORIGINAL comment?
God damn I bet you feel dumb.
"Reply if you like, but you'll be talking to yourself in an empty room, I suspect."
In other words, you know I'm right, you're a liar.
Your excuses are worse than your posts.
