Japan has a new law. Companies and local governments are required to annually measure the waistlines of people between the ages of 40 and 74. Those exceeding 33.5 inches for men and 35.4 inches for women and suffering from a weight-related ailment will be told what they may and may not eat if they do not lose weight after three months. Local governments and companies that don't meet specific targets will be fined.
With all the Obama propaganda about universal health care, I fear we may look forward to the same ridiculous policies here in the USA!
