I remember seeing something about that when Carl and I were over there back in March. Ohh, that's funny. Mainly because of the comparison between the health of the Japanese and that of Americans. Because the Japanese already have smaller average waist sizes and lower obesity levels than Americans, and yet they are being fined for obesity.
Maybe I shouldn't laugh. I don't think people should necessarily be punished for poor health (poor health tends to be punishment enough), but...well, I'm gonna come off potentially mean if I go on, so...
