Is the MODERN diet in Japan similar to the US? Or is it much healthier? Or was it only healthier in the past?

Question:




Answer:


The Japanese diet is unlike the American diet. Stop trying to feel better about Americans by relying on the idea that the American diet used to be more healthy.

Here's one sample of an average Japanese day:

breakfast - yogourt, toast

lunch - miso soup, rice, fish, veggies

dinner - curried veggies and meat with rice

drinks during day - (unsweetened!) green tea, oolong tea, barley tea, coffee

snack - pastry or rice ball

Of course that's just one of millions of choices, but it represents a quite typical day.
