Fat tax -

[Hellbound Hellhound]

In Japan, they have something called the Metabo Law, which mandates that employers conduct annual physical checkups to monitor the weight of their employees. When an employee is found to be over a certain weight, they are required to attend counseling sessions, and failure to comply results in fines for the company.

Quite how effective the law has been is difficult to say, but considering that Japan has a national obesity rate of just 3.2% (compared with the US rate of 42.4%), I'd say they're doing something right.

Why stop there? Go for smoking tax, alcohol tax, painkiller tax, coffee tax, bacon tax, sedentary-lifestyle tax...

Besides, BMI is a bullshit metric.

Hey now leave my booze, ciggies, and coffee alone. I need that shit to get through my job + I'm not addicted to any of them.

No it doesn't Brian Shaw is one of many examples bmi is trash he's 6 ft 8 in/203 cm and hovers between 385–440 lb/175–200 kg. Also a quick search proves bmi is nonsense.

"For a bodybuilder, BMI results are often inaccurate. However, you can use other tools to measure your body composition and health. ... Although BMI can be accurate for a large portion of the population, it often miscategorizes bodybuilders, who have an abundance of muscle, as overweight or obese.

You can't do anything about bone density. The more massive ones skeletal system is the more mass that will be around it (healthy or not) and their bmi will be off the charts. This looks obese to you?

This is such a shit cope that only fat asses use. The only people that the BMI does not work well for just need a simple visual check. If you're BMI is obese it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out if it's cause you're a fatass or a bodybuilder. Put down the mayo jar and quit making excuses.

Just stop eating. Literally just stop eating. You can still get fat from overeating the most healthy food on the planet.
This information needs to be spread and become common sense.
I have helped almost every member of my family lose anywhere from 30-235lbs simply from telling them to eat at a deficit and count their calories.
You do not need a fancy workout plan or diet. You simply need to eat less.

Most of the people that rant about BMI being inaccurate aren't bodybuilders or rugby players - most of them are deathfats using said bodybuilders and rugby players as an excuse to disregard their own BMI.

Just a reminder; homosexuality is worse for your health than either smoking, drinking or being fat.

Will we have a fag tax?

Is this bait? An attempt at some kind of gotcha? Because that can be said for any scenario as it applies to everything. Grifters and excuse makers are everywhere. Take "X" person and say they get exposed then they come out with some nonsense response about "oh I've always had interest in "X" thing." Actually i don't even need to use such a general example because recent featured posts apply to this. Such as Chaggot using the shield of ASD for being a pedo, or Shanny4Christ using the detractors to shield her shameless slobbish-ness.

The motive for my post is because I got autism when it comes to overly generalized blanket statements like that. Otherwise you are 100% correct, Boogie1488 is another great of what you are saying. He uses every excuse in the book to excuse his behavior.
