Why 4% Of Japan Is Obese Compared to America’s 42%….

[Gloxina]

He’s not lying about Hawaii

It’s crazy big out there

I can’t tell u the first week of each month and im in the grocery store and the food stamp folks have carts full of sweets, 3 cases of 12 pack coke/pepsi, microwave dinners and other shyt and the 8 year old kid is ready to block for Barkley

That sounds like a heart attack waiting to happen!


Like I’ll be , I’m snacking on a bag of chips rn which is rare for me, but I’m also having an arugula salad for lunch. You have to have balance.

its the american way to blame EVERYTHING on corporations and the govt

That’s because they deserve a lot of blame. You can’t ethically rationalize why companies are willing to sell Americans a low quality food product that is harmful to you simply because the government allows it.

It’s diet, you don’t need to eat three damn times a day, most people eat big ass dinners and go to bed which means they don’t burn the calories off, all the sugar. It’s a lot of shyt that Americans do wrong when it comes to food.

My folks are still under the impression you need 3 meals a day. Argued with them constantly, but they are old, so they aren’t listening

Drinking a lot of h2o will trick your body into thinking it’s full.

Obesity will always be an issue in the US , you need cars to get everywhere. Plus, there are buffets where people can be as greedy as they like.

Japanese main diet is rice and vegetables, meat is a side dish

Asians do have a high rate of stomach cancer though

 

[Guizmo]

USA = obeseland

Americans are having chicken and waffle for breakfast

How can you have fried chicken and pancake for early morning meals

and I'm not even taking about the whole industry of junk and modified food.

Even burger donuts are a thing

When you go to Japan
You are walking mostly
Even after a meal, you are walking
Here we may have 4 cities that you really walking walking
We have a very sedentary way of life in work
Japanese do calisthenics to begin their work day
Most places are urban sprawls and we are driving ourselves everyday
So for obvious reasons Americans are fat for several reasons
You don’t have to watch a video to understand this

Genetics + strict immigration

America breeds obesity. If you have a child with a fat person your child is more likely to be fat.

It's not genetics.

Why y'all always skip the video in the OP is beyond me. It provided the answers as to why it has nothing to do with genes.

I didn't think of it that way

 

[TripleAgent]

We eat more fried or processed foods here

There is plenty of fried food in Japan. It's not inherently bad in moderation and with good ingredients.

They actually have chefs in Japanese schools. Just a different damn world.

this reminded me of a cool docu i saw the other day - "What makes Japanese people distinctively Japanese? For me, the key lies in what we are taught during our elementary school years."

There are several studies that show a genetic disposition for a lower bmi than Euros/America. He’s speaking solely on the cultural aspect of dietary habits but it is not solely that because they’ve done studies that show even when the dietary habits are the same, because of the genetic traits, they have noticeably different indexes.

high fructose corn syrup on everything.

 

[feelosofer]

American food is sugar, fillers and preservatives.

Even Japanese sweets are not that sugary and they don't use high fructose corn syrup.

Japanese schools and culture take balance pretty seriously this includes keeping fit.
