Japan's compulsory weight loss is true. In Japan, banning obesity has been written into law by government officials. Although the obesity rate in Japan is less than 5%, which is one of the countries with the lowest obesity rate in the world, in 2008, this country still made legal provisions to limit the maximum waist circumference of its citizens. The law requires local governments and enterprises to regularly measure the waist circumference of people aged 40 to 74, and expressly stipulates that the waist circumference of men over 40 should not exceed 85 cm and that of women should not exceed 90 cm. If a citizen's waistline exceeds this limit, he needs to lose weight by force. The government will not only urge citizens who do not meet the standards to lose weight, but also provide health education to some citizens who fail to lose weight. Obesity is illegal in Japanese government and enterprises, but it is protected and encouraged for occupations such as sumo.
