>>23004150Japanese food is among the unhealthiest in the world. It's literally just carbs (lmao rice at every meal), salt, a little bit of meat, and almost no fresh vegetables (because of Japanese agricultural protectionism).
Social norms are why older Japanese people haven't eaten themselves to death and live pretty long lives but Japan has the fastest rising rates of diabetes in the developed world. It also doesn't help that, unlike europoids, East Asians suffer the detrimental affects of obesity at much lower weights.
