Asian girls under pressure to stay thin?

Question:


My friend Lynn moved here from Tokyo last year, and she since she moved here with her grandparents and her Mom is still in Tokyo, she hadn't seen her in awhile. Lynn went to visit her Mom for a week and her Mom yelled at her that she 'got so fat' and that she has to lose all the weight as soon as possible. Lynn is 'normal sized', but it looks like she gained 10-15 pounds from a combination of growing, (she just turned 15), and eating American food. Are Japanese girls under THAT much pressure to stay thin? And what makes them so thin in the first place?

Answer:


They stay thin because the Japanese diet is more healthy than ours is. Do being thin more or less is normal for them.
