It is illegal in Japan to be fat! Despite the fact that Japan boasts of the world’s lowest obesity rates, the law makers were not deterred from setting a law that limits the size of one’s waistline.
A man aged 40 and above must not have a waist measuring 80 cm or above and every woman, 90 cm and above.
Those whose measurements fall outside the established range, are required by the law to seek medical treatment. Here you eat fries and miss gym sessions at your own peril.
Ironically, Sumo wrestling; a sport designated for plumb gargantuan men, boasts of its roots from Japan.
