slimming down.

Japan has long been known for disrespecting privacy. Recently, the goverment forces its citizens to slim down, a move to combat obesity. It's driven by higher insurance premium for obese people. Every employee across the state must meet its waistline requirements, 90 cm for women and 93 for men. Some companies encourage their employees to take the stairs, some encourage to exercise by playing exercise music twice a day through loudspeakers. Employees are feeling the pressure. If they don't slim down, they will be fined.

Please correct any mistakes.
Thanks.

Mr. Wordy, Thanks. What would you call the regulation? It doesn't sound liberal to me.
Mr WordyI couldn't entirely see what this has to do with disrepecting privacy.

I guess you could say "Japan has long been known for its tightly controlled society", if you're happy that's the case.

Mr Wordyif you're happy that's the case.
Thank you, Mr. Wordy. I don't quite understand your above comment. Are you saying your suggestion "tightly controlled society" doesn't carry a negative connotation to readers? If so, it's quite the opposite of what I want. I actually think that society should be given more freedom.
