that waist limit is like 33.5 inches

I'm bordering on that and I don't consider myself fat

Though like everyone else I could stand to lose 5-10

6/16/2008 3:09:59 PM

its 33.5 for men, and 35 for women.

What about sumo wrestlers???

I wear a 33 or 34, and I don't have 5-or 10lbs to loose... I'm maintaining, before I start another bulk.

wow thats retarded... so i guess they are going to euthanize people with genetic problems.

This, like BMI, is an attempt to simplify a problem into a finite number and act on it, so that they feel like something is being done. The problem is that skinny =/= healthy. My guess is that this is a means for them to charge more for insurance to people that might be of a bigger risk.

Japanese do tend to stay a smaller stature...height and size.

i think it has to do more with aesthetics - i have read somewhere once that there are lots of babies born retarded and cripple in asia that are killed at birth. it seems like you never see a retarded asian, or one that is severely crippled. or it could be the fact that its soo freakin crowded over there, that if you don't seem like you can benefit society, chop chop!

Haven't heard that. A lot of their politicians are lard asses so I can't imagine that proposal getting very far.

The insurance here is nationalized, so I doubt that's the reason

"the government will impose financial penalties on companies and local governments that fail to meet specific targets. The country’s Ministry of Health argues that the campaign will keep the spread of diseases like diabetes and strokes in check. The ministry also says that curbing widening waistlines will rein in a rapidly aging society’s ballooning health care costs, one of the most serious and politically delicate problems facing Japan today. Most Japanese are covered under public health care or through their work. "

"“Nobody will want to be singled out as metabo,” Kimiko Shigeno, a company nurse, said of the campaign. “It’ll have the same effect as non-smoking campaigns where smokers are now looked at disapprovingly.” Companies like Matsushita must measure the waistlines of at least 80 percent of their employees. Furthermore, they must get 10 percent of those deemed metabolic to lose weight by 2012, and 25 percent of them to lose weight by 2015. "

Metabo? WTF is this, some kind of 1984 bullshit newspeak?

Just wait, we'll have this shit instituted in 20 years.

If you have a problem with legislation against fat people you're out of your mind. What possible harm could come from discriminating against the weaker end of the gene pool? Let's go even further out, I say

It's already passed and in effect.


Metalbo is short for (a person having) Metabolic Condition.

Basically it's the Japanese being lazy and not knowing what metabolic actually means. It's funny because one of my friends and I were talking about it the other day.

Metabo means a middle aged fat man.

Well then government employees must be exempt because they haven't said shit to us.

^ They are obsessed with sausage stuffed pizza crust here. Almost every pizza restaurant has it.

i usually laugh and shoot garbage out of my nose when I see something that spikes my idiot-meter like mulva here. But then I realized that laughing at idiots instead of burning them is how we got where we are now. THEN I just started laughing again because fuck you thats funny
