Unlike America, Japan cares about the health and well being of their citizens as far as I can seei n this. if Japanese people watched their weight more, this wouldnt have become an issue, and soon hopefully America will have this.

this is the kind of thing that scares the **** out of me. people who willingly accept the fact that the government is creeping into their lives.
I dont see this as a step in the right direction. I certainly would never want this to be implemented in America either. I'm not saying that because I am over weight. I'm 5'11" and 155lbs.
America prides itself on freedom, at least it used to. If someone wants to be overweight, let them. it doesnt affect you at all, so why would you want a third party to step in and tell them how to live their own life?
