I saw this link over at /. This is utter bullshit. Are they trying to get rid of foreigners, or attempting to force rationalization by using the obesity scares in America as a way to reduce consumption of food?
Funny that the Japanese government doesn't attempt to investigate all these anorexic women on the streets. I've seen women out here whose arms and legs are skinnier than a pencil sliced in half! Or the law makers should do something about all the homeless problems around Tokyo that people want to ignore.
US law makers are scary because they have laws that intentionally hurt the public while only helping the rich (i.e. those paying off the government). In Japan, the law makers are either stupid or really annoying. Sometimes, I really pity Japanese people because they're subjugated by these idiots with little choice but to remain docile or stupid. The ones I really pity are the ones that get smart enough to figure out how screwed they are and end up giving up because there really isn't a lot of hope in this country.
Fortunately, for someone like myself, I can always go back to the US. I might even be able to one day migrate to Canada if things become horrible in the US. But the Japanese people here mostly are trapped. And worse yet, many people don't realize that the trap is mental and social.
