Concerned about rising rates of both in a graying nation, Japanese lawmakers last year set a maximum waistline size for anyone age 40 and older: 85 centimeters (33.5 inches) for men and 90 centimeters (35.4 inches) for women.

Oh and what about people who have naturally large builds? Or people who are really muscular? Methinks this rule is silly and will die out (plus thin people scare me).

Eat a hamburger, you lanky twig.
In all honesty, there's more a problem with being too thin in Japan than obesity. Unless you're like a salaryman who drinks beer and eat ramen down to the soup every single night, you're not gonna get all that fat from the daily Japanese diet(even those salarymen aren't all that fat either).

And it's no problem if you break the waistline because you are too buff....just means when they come to arrest you, you can crush their skulls and stick-thin bodies with your treetrunk-shaped arms.

Most of you guys don't know how to read, do you?
The article never said anything about people NOT being let into the country because their waist size was over the limit. None of you are middle-aged Japanese workers, are you? No, you say. Then this article has nothing to do with you.
Just listen to johnny rainbow, kiddos. He lives in Japan, so he actually knows what he is talking about. Next time try reading the article before jumping to false conclusions.
Thanks to Blinq for the awesome sig. Click the sig, see my stuff.

85 centimeters is actually pretty large, y'know.
And it said nothing about restricting arm circumference, which is totally unrelated to waistline size. :P. And cops have guns (maybe not in Japan though...)

I think mega buff people can get big waists too right?
Though if they've got enough muscle to break that limit then the bullets will probably bounce off their rock-hard abs and pecs.

I should note that human tissue, even muscle, is rather weak in comparison to metal. And when a bullet is capable of penetrating metal, then you're kinda screwed.
Also: Large =/= dense. Density would be what would stop the bullets. Being large, not so much.
This would explain part of the reasoning behind this statement.

Well you could buff up to immense levels and try it yourself if you think I'm being perfectly honest

Would I have raised an objection if I thought it were either possible or logical?

No, it's not possible or logical. People just don't walk away from being hit with a metal slug traveling at 2000 fps. You don't need to see a sarcasm tag to know that's it's not serious.

But you've watched too much TV if you think muscle has a chance against a bullet that way General T.

You'd be surprised with the levels of idiocy that I've run into over my times on the internets.
Also, I tend to object immediately to any illogical thing, even if the guy was not serious. Consider me an idiot that way.

The worst is parents who force feed their kids to make them 'fat like me'. That HAS happened.

But yeah, I'm not buying that article. I think it would be good if a country like say, America would take serious action to fight obesity, but Japan doesn't need it.
WAT.
