Laws in Japan happen instantly. This makes for quick adoption of a change that has been deemed necessary by most. The other upside is that people have to follow the news.

The legislated upper limit for the waistline is 33.5" for men, and 35.5" for women. Should America adopt universal health insurance, could we live to see the same kind of individual health regulations imposed on us by the government? By comparison, the average waistline in America in 2005 was 39 inches for men, 37 inches for women.
