I would like to hear their source for fines. Sounds like bullshit -- even for Japan. Even if a company offers national health care, I don't think there's any monetary punishment they can impose. Employees do have to go to checkups though, for insurance purposes (at least through NHS) and their thresholds for "overweight" is a fucking joke. I think I'm technically overweight, to be honest. EDIT: The video is also from 2008.
