That's not completely correct.

First, Japan instituted the waist line program because they were becoming too much like the US due to a large change in lifestyle (and, consequently, eating) in Asia. Japan and China have "westernized" considerably in the last few years.

Second, I think you have the waist lines wrong: it's 33.5" for men, and 35.5" for women. This doesn't apply to everyone, though: it is targeted at those 40+. They are measured during their annual physical; if they are over the limit, they are given dietary advice and scheduled for another check-up in 3 months. If after 6 months there is no change, they will again attempt some form of re-education. If they are still not able to bring their waist line within the targets, it is their employer who is fined or assessed a higher insurance premium. The goal is to encourage employers to provide healthier cafeterias and encourage physical activity.

Lastly, the reason Asia as a whole have been skinny for many years is because of their dietary habits, food supplies, and exercise habits.

And have our tax dollars pay for their heath issues because most do not have insurance? And if they do, have our rates go up because of their horrible eating habits?

Very interesting. Never knew they had anything like that.

I agree to the tax/insurance effects, but not sure we should be policing what people eat and where private business can locate their stores //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

If we start doing that where do we go next?
