    Yay! We're in the middle of the scale! Not so bad!

    I do see a big difference in the quantity of overweight people when we visit the States. It's not shocking to me, really!

    I wholeheartedly disagree. Prosperity has offered me an abundance of healthy food, just because not everyone else is selecting it doesn't mean its a downside to have prosperity, does it? Not sure how to get other people on the healthy bandwagon but I would definitely not give up prosperity to achieve it.

    To repeat Russ, "We're number one! We're number one!" hahaha! That cracked me up.

    An Email from my daughter in Japan.

    I can count on 1 hand the number of obese people I've seen here in more than 10 years! And if I see one they are invariably white foreigners! Ouch! Basically Japanese have almost zero interest in sweets. You can't even put any sweets in kids lunch. I can't buy any of my fav junk food here at all. And if Japanese have dessert it is usually the size of a pea. And the most popular fast food is salmon with riceball and seaweed. Kids love it! And rarely is there any meat eaten, mostly fish. Totally different diet. Totally different result!


    Ciao ciao!
