I suppose they don't want the younger crowd to become like they are later in life. To teach them not to do te bad things they did.

But it is rather ironic.

I think the government should provide more outlets for people who actually need the help, and who can't do it on their own. Rather than helping people who can lose the weight on their own...

The government needs to take care of it's working class people, and it really doesn't! Which causes a lot of problems. The working class is basically what keeps the system together, and it's been that way for centuries! The government is blinded by it's own ignorance. Ignorance to the fact that they can get the medical attention they need because they are the government. While in the mean time the rest of it's population suffers...

Now that sucks...

Big time...

It was an honest mistake Honorary im' sure you didn't mean it. In response to Nyororin: Yikes!:eek: That seems a little harsh for the workplace to question your weight. Then again I can understand their concern for high cholesterol and whatnot. What's your opinion on that?

But Japan has a nationalized single payer health system. Everyone has the same access to the same medical care.

Misa was reffering to the question I asked futurebeast, about what he thought could be done in America...XD
Then I told him my two cents...XD...I think it's great Japan has smoothed out issues that the US hasn't! I just hope that the US can tag along pretty soon...
