"As waistlines continue to expand in Japan, the country's lawmakers are taking the unusual step of fining companies that employ overweight workers...But those who stand to benefit financially from keeping people fat here in the US are naysayers.
...in Japan, the national program to trim tummies and prevent diseases such as diabetes and heart disease has taken a proactive, group approach to the problem of "metabo" — a shorter, and some say cuter, term for metabolic syndrome.
And when it comes to the Asian country's fight against metabolic syndrome — the collection of illnesses known to accompany obesity — the effort appears to be working."
"As a country with more than one-third of its population classified as obese, the U.S. might benefit from a stringent program like Japan's. But part of the reason a program like Japan's has no place in the U.S. is because American's (sic) would be far less tolerant of government involvement in what can be a highly personal issue, said Dr. David Katz, director of the Prevention Research Center at the Yale University School of Medicine.This is the same Katz as in Oprah's expert, the faked Yale endorsement, Jorge Cruise's colleague, David Zinczenko's supporter, Mehmet Oz's bud and ABCNews expert.
'In Japan there is a sense of communal engagement, what's right for the public good,' Katz said. 'We don't like being told what to do, saying 'You're not the boss of me.' What works at the population level is dictated by cultural standards.'"
In other words, an IMHO con.
And an idiot.
"American's (sic) would be far less tolerant of government involvement in what can be a highly personal issue."Well, they seem damn tolerant of "government involvement in what can be a highly personal issue" - paying for the sick care from their diseases of choice.
Time to fight back against the fatties and the IMHO predators, like Katz, Oprah, Oz, Zinczenko, Cruise, the sick care industry, etc.
