The problem with the whole issue of determining obesity is which system do you use? Are you going to have the government(and by government I mean citizens paying more taxes) for hydrostatic weighing to get the true measure of body composition, or use the cheap but terribly inaccurate BMI measurement and use that as the determination of your "tax bracket"? I have a feeling it would go by BMI, and probably BMI alone. And that would be bad for Germans, Polish, or Scandanavian people who are typically larger naturally.
But it would work out great for Asians.
