This is one of the strangest articles I've come across, odd enough that I wonder if it's really true. There is a law in Japan that mandates waist sizes for it's citizens. Apparently the Japanese government, having solved all other problems, decided that the Japanese have been gaining too much weight in the last few decades and felt the need to decree a maximum waist size. It's 33.5 inches for men, 35.4 inches for women. With a 36-inch waistline, I would be a lawbreaker. And proud of it.
Say what you will about the decline of the United States in the 21st century, our beloved legislators have yet to make fat illegal. US citizens are still allowed to eat what we want, when we want (although let's hope no Congressmen find out about this bit of Japanese insanity - who knows what they'll try to do).
Some Americans may be overweight, but all Americans are still free.
