Let's Fine the Fatties

[Skyy God]

Who's with me?

Why are the Japanese so slender? There are three reasons, and none of them has to do with genetics. One is the traditional Japanese diet, which is heavy on fish, vegetables, and rice. The second is Japan's mass-transit-centered urban design, which encourages Japanese people to walk a lot more than Americans. But the third factor is paternalism. Japan's government takes an active role in combating any hint of an upward trend in fatness.

In 2008, Japan's diet passed a law designed to combat "metabolic syndrome," which is known to Americans as "pre-diabetes." The so-called "Metabo Law" requires overweight individuals, or individuals who show signs of weight-related illnesses, to go to dieting classes. If they fail to attend the classes, the companies that employ them and/or the local governments of the areas in which they live must pay fines to the federal government. In addition, companies with more than a certain percentage of overweight employees are fined directly.

Yeah, but having fatties around makes it easier to get laid without having to work for it.

You must not be too good looking if you need a fattie to make you confident in attaining pussy. I'm glad I don't have that problem. Or a small male reproductive organ.

Cheeseburger tax at the level we tax tobacco. Tax soft drinks at the level we tax beer.

Problem solved.

If we fined fatties in the US we'd have a surplus instead of a deficit.

This thread is despicable. And it is an insult to the Flopnuts Fatties thread. Maybe use a little sensitivity next time you decide to spread hate. Jerk.

That's nice of you. Believe me bruh, I've dealt with it my whole life. We're all judgmental of something, or someone. But I do appreciate you stepping up to the plate for someone you don't know. You're a good dude in my book.

There's something to this. Health care-wise, we need to quit grouping the healthy ones in with those that don't take care of themselves. Make it an incentive to meet the requirements and get a discount!

But then the next problem is that life wouldn't be worth living any more.

Bob Dole has a knack for summing things up concisely.
