Japan Has Cut Obesity to 3.5% in a Controversial Way That Wouldn't Fly in America
Japan Has Cut Obesity to 3.5% in a Controversial Way That Wouldn't Fly in America

In the U.S., obesity is a high-profile issue staked out by people like Michelle Obama and Jamie Oliver. But how do other countries address it, especially wealthy countries, where this problem is most rampant?
Dubai pays people to lose weight. New Zealand, where one in four adults are technically obese, bars overweight immigrants from obtaining a visa. China has used acupuncture to treat obesity for centuries.
But one country has managed to keep obesity down with the help of a controversial government policy that probably wouldn't fly in the U.S. That country is Japan, where only about 3.5% of the population is classified as obese, compared to rates as high as 30% or greater in countries like the U.S. And it's not just a generally healthier diet and lifestyle that's kept the Japanese trim.
Citizens must adhere to government-mandated waistline limits or face consequences. The government has established waistline limits for adults ages 40 to 74. Men must maintain a waistline at or below 33.5 inches; for women, the limit is 35.4 inches. The "metabo law" went into effect in 2008, with the goal of reducing the country's overweight population by 25% by 2015. The government's anti-obesity campaign aims to keep "metabolic syndrome" — a number of factors that heighten the risk of developing diabetes and vascular diseases, such as obesity and high blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol levels — in check, thus minimizing the ballooning health care costs of Japan's massive aging population.

Glorious Japan we salute you!

Good lord man

I used to love these, post more

I read it. The company they work at will get fined or the local government will get fined. Since people in Japan generally work their whole lives at one company this pressures the employee to stay fit so he doesnt get reprimanded or worse fired.
Austin Sullivan
pretty redpilled, thanks user
Chase Gonzalez
The company they work for recieves a fine

Everyone knows that if you 'eat less than 1000 calories' you'll gain weight more than if you eat 4000 calories.

Why did they choose to allow larger waists for women? Is there a health reason?

Every single person here should be hanged by the state and I don’t think any sane man would be able to truly object on an individualist philosophy.
I can’t believe normies stand with these people.
Charles Evans

The fat dude who’s painting a cheese (?) in the background looks pretty normal?
Aiden Price
I refuse to believe there are people that post this stuff non-ironically. How can someone have this little self awareness?
Nathan Gray
It must be exhausting to be triggered by the smallest things all the time

My very chubby cousin is starting to go to the gym.
I never invited or encouraged him, but I might think that I "inspired" him at least a little. Of course he is going to a commercial gym to do cardio and a bro-split but I consider that being better than nothing. He called me when he was at Costco to ask my opinion on a good whey powder and that kind of stuff.
I guess that's good. I don't really care if he keeps it up or drops out.
But.... his fucking fat wife. How I fucking hate this bitch.
She is fat and short and annoying as fuck. She got in my cousin's life and somehow made him fall in love with her, marry him and moved with her son to my cousin's house.
Now, my cousin is trying to take care of himself like a normie, while she is not being with him.
I don't sense support in her towards him. She works a shitty job at H&M and argues that she "has no time". I've seen my cousin doing house work, I've been in their room and it is a fucking mess every time. I've seen my cousin go pick her wife's son from someplace because she is at work.
And now this fucking bitch comes and tags my cousin on facebook memes making fun of people who go to the gym.
And then she fucking comes to my face and tells me that I'm going to get fat and get acne if I take my protein powder with milk.
I wasn't mad when I started typing this. I am enraged now.
Asher Diaz
Man or woman would imply that thing is human
Logan Gomez
well genetically when it was human before it devolved into a primordial ooze was it a man or a woman?
Julian James
Help your bro out, teach him stuff so he can finally get fit and leave that bitch, I can definitely can respect someone that actually goes there's and just try maybe help him so he actually can make some progress
Julian Morales
Since the mods allow it topless on a blue board I tend to think man, or maybe they don't even know
Kevin White
I too wish to throw up
Luis Baker
Well the Italian one on the right looks cute, so I'd oppose you there.
Jayden Stewart
Same bro
Nolan Hughes
I must be one sad loser to actually be happy rn
Kayden Clark
:) no
Levi Ross
> protons powder with milk will make you fat
no it won't it's just digested slower. versus when you make it with water and it's digested quicker. water is good for post workout, milk is good for meal replacing
Mason Diaz
but she has hairy legs
Brody Thomas
...
Grayson Lewis
fckn love this add
Jaxson Allen
Wouldn't whey powder digest the same either way and it's just the milk that's a little slower?
Julian James
>China has used acupuncture to treat obesity for centuries.
So in other words, the bug people do literally nothing about the problem.
Landon Phillips
How does the dress on top cost more than the plus sized one when more material is used to make clothes for fatties?
Brandon Sanders
All the fats need to die of beetus
Jose Barnes
>work in office
>our group has two workers in field offices
>met one about a month ago, fat basic bitch dressed like shit, been working in company 2 years and still gets the most basic shit wrong, always have to fix her shit
>met other one today
>fat middle age bitch with this extremely annoying voice, speaks slow enough that I think she has mental retardation to some degree
>I have never heard someone with a more annoying voice, it's like an audio version of "punchable face"
>our job position is midrange in a chain of approvals, we get shit, fill it out how we're told, and send it to the appropriate person, who approves or rejects it
>yes it's shitty but I don't plan to be here long
>cunt spends half her time sending incorrect work back to the people who filled it out
>sounds great, but 90% of the time it wasn't the fault of the person (who filled it out correctly, but it was incorrect because of a reason they didn't know about and can't control), and the cunt could fix it literally in the same amount of time it takes her to send it back to us
>no one asked her to do this, it's not her job, and she obviously gains pleasure from it and was bragging about it today
>meanwhile I always have to fix her shit, in ways that actually are her fault
>also wastes everyone's time sending emails about stupid bugs and animals in her backyard, expecting us to be impressed by her adventurousness or worldliness or something
>by that I mean caterpillars or groundhogs, literally
>bragged that she went to germany...30 years ago, with her family
>snobbish and clearly thinks she's better than us, despite being a fat incompetent narcissistic piece of work who lives in a midwest backwater
>watched her eat 3 pieces of pizza today
>complained there wasn't enough pepperoni on it
>I don't think anyone on the team actually likes her
Bonus: saw a blue whale in the elevator today, one of the top 20 fattest people I've seen in my life.
Joseph Rivera
yeah the same. protein or whey with water is faster absorbed than when you use milk
Bentley Butler
Is there a guy version of that add?
Samuel Mitchell
Ryan Wilson
the dog and him have the same face lmao
Elijah Morris
Not that I could find, but this one is pretty amusing
Brandon Ramirez
I use a backpack daily because bikecommute. And if you go to a real city like NYC, even businessmen in suits carry a backpack because they don't have a fucking fatmobile SUV to leave their shit in. Come at me bro.
FACT
If personal automotives were banned, there would be no obese people.

Gonna save this for whenever I want to gorge on pizza. Thanks user
Gabriel Cook
good bot
Zachary Hughes
What am I not getting here?
Backpacks are for carrying things, and it’s not as if you stop having to carry things once you finish grade school...
Grayson Jones
her twitter is making me so happy I'm not stuck with a disgusting fat pig like her
Matthew Rivera
The casein in the milk would digest slower, but the whey in the protein (assuming it's not casein, and is instead an isolate) will digest at the same rate as it would with water. Adding milk is a good way to pad your calories and enrich flavour, but that's all it does.
Michael Price
I don't think even the mods know
Daniel Price
i've seen some creaturas on the subway
Thomas Sullivan
I fucking hate cars and I fucking hate fat women.
John Edwards
>Christine Sydelko
That thing is a girl. Unfortunately.
Oliver Cooper
That what I thought, the person phrased it a way that makes it seem like milk makes the whey powder digest slower. I was so confused
Ryder Jenkins
Kek at that guy in the back with the drum. He is like that beast's herald or something.

>cycling home, pulling up to stopsign
>cunt in an SUV cuts corner so sharply she almost hits me
>slows down like a dog who pissed the carpet and knows he dun wrong, I stand there arms spread in the "what the fuck you cunt" pose shouting at her
>slowly drives away
All cagers should be lined up and shot. Every day I deal with idiots almost murdering me.
If it can use the subway, it can walk at least a few blocks. I know a lot of abominations who would keel over and call a taxi over a few blocks.
Josiah Kelly
wtf I googled her and she has millions of followers
Luis Long
>thanks for the bodyshaming! This is why I will never attend a gold's gym
Yeah im sure that's the reason
Elijah Miller

Julian Morris
>painting a cheese
Holy shit user, I just did abs and you're giving them another workout.
Brayden Scott
How do they enforce this? Do police just stop fatties on the street? What if you gourge yourself one time and get bloated?
Lincoln Hernandez
Jace Collins
If I could get away with selling my car I would.
Nathan Mitchell
They do semi-annual measurings

JFC another reason I wish I was a goddamn nip.

I live in a city where "you can't live without a car" and I have lived here 2 years without a car. I can go to the next town over purely by bike if I want (90 minutes each way, I've done it several times.) I've heard of people even in Houston who manage. I bike in snow, I bike in rain, I bike in 0 degrees, I bike in 100 degrees, I bike in 50 mph winds.
What you are told is impossible usually isn't actually impossible, normies just call it that because it's outside their norm.
Ayden Nguyen
I need to move out of the suburbs.
