Hey everyone!

This is a little bit lighter than what I usually do - no scientific concepts that require explaining, but I thought it would make for an interesting video. This of course isn't the whole picture behind what allows Japanese people to stay thin, but it highlights what I think is a very important point.

I am planning to make another video about the Japanese diet like this, so if there's anything you'd like to hear about, please let me know.

Why is it so Easy to be Thin in Japan?

Comparing the food environment of the U.S. to Japan's. ▲Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/WILearned ▲Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeverettlearned ▲Bitcoin: 1CuSEgDr5raV3XKoHL7W19QRoCkE3iHt1X This video highlights the difference between the food environment of America and Japan. America's obesity rate is about 30% (biggest state is 37.7%, smallest 22.3%) whereas Japan's obesity rate is 3.5% While there's other countries on each side of the obesity spectrum, I chose to compare these two because I grew up in America and spent the last 7 years here in Japan. The places that I describe as "reasonably healthy" in Japan aren't necessarily places I recommend as "optimally healthy" - I'm simply point out that while convenient food in America ranges from very unhealthy to unhealthy, convenient food in Japan ranges from very unhealthy to pretty healthy.
