FTA

Concerned about rising rates of both in a graying nation, Japanese lawmakers last year set a maximum waistline size for anyone age 40 and older: 85 centimeters (33.5 inches) for men and 90 centimeters (35.4 inches) for women.

Edit:

Misleading headline/article, not actually illegal.

XD That's awesome and something that the US needs! Though in the US it'd be more like 40" max instead of 33.5".

I'm sure the sumo's get a special pass. >.>

If you live an unhealthy life style you gotta pay higher premiums. I see nothing wrong here.

I feel like I need a copyright for my original falcon punch. ; ;

wut?
Also I don't understand how this would effect the people that actually need to be larger, such as people that play sports, weight trainers, etc.

Though I guess it would be interesting to watch.

Seriously? Government imposition on people's private lives? This is whats wrong with people these days, we want federal-mommies. Quit asking for your leaders to baby-sit you. If you are too stupid to stop cramming food into your mouth or to occasionally exercise (something more than getting out of your chair to use the rest room) that is your own problem, you pay the price, you pay for your insurance, you pay for your funeral.

Thomas Jefferson said, "A government big enough to give you everything is big enough to take everything away from you." That's laws like this in a nut-shell.

Does Japan have the same medical insurance system as the US? Or is it similar to our free health care in the UK?
