Obesity was increasing in Japan, so they made the entire population get weighed and shamed the fatties and told them to lose weight. With companies and local government getting penalties if they had too many fatties.
Fascism, it works.
They just removed all mascots on food packaging here in my country...

>What do you guys think?
I think it's silly but then again I don't really care that much. I buy very little boxed/processed food.

>Giving parents control over children education
We can't have that. Children may learn agency and responsibility and become too smart to control

Which country? Can you please link a news article about it? And what's the reasoning behind getting rid of the mascots?

>A newly released Centers for Disease Control report of a study conducted at Stanford has examined the effects of San Francisco’s 2010 “Happy Meal ban.” The ban prohibited the free distribution of toys with unhealthy meals; the fast-food restaurants McDonald’s and Burger King instead sold the toys for 10 cents. Though neither restaurant complied with the ordinance’s specific calls for changes in nutritional content, improvements have been made.
>…over the study’s two-year period, McDonald’s in particular made big changes to its Happy Meals, said [Jennifer Otten, MD,] of the University of Washington School of Public Health — first in California, then nationally.
>The fast food giant cut the amount of French fries it serves in Happy Meals in half, replacing them with apples; stopped serving caramel sauce with apples; and began offering nonfat chocolate milk to customers. Otten said those substitutions were “pretty dramatic,” — they reduced the calories in a Happy Meal by 110, and cut the sodium and fat content of the meal as well.
>Otten and her colleagues, including senior author Abby King, PhD, concluded in the study, “Although the changes… did not appear to be directly in response to the ordinance, the transition to a more healthful beverage and default side dish was consistent with the intent of the ordinance. Study results… suggest that public policies may contribute to positive restaurant changes.”

I know you were trying to be funny and troll, but the fat shaming thing is a real thing and it works very well.
Japanese kids are some of the most massive assholes on the planet and they are never disciplined until they near high school, so they completely rail on fatties through youth.
Once in adulthood, pretty much the only fat people you see on tv are comedians who pretty much have to make fat jokes about themselves. This is especially true of female comedians. Its also socially acceptable for anyone that is more than just a passing acquaintance to constantly ask you about your weight gain if they even notice a slight increase in size, until you slim down. If they are family members they can be as mean as the school children

Actually, overeating either or both makes you fat. Hope that helps, buddy.
