Busting the myth of the Japanese rice and vegetables diet

I went to Japan to squash the vegan propaganda that they eat mostly rice and vegetables with a little fish every 3rd leap year. No, no, NO.

Fatty meat everywhere you look. Fatty tuna, eggs, wagyu beef. This country is dripping in saturated fat and are in amazing health.

But high quality fat... for the most part... assuming one can afford it... which is the real problem... that 'fat' is there, but it isn't cheap... here in the States, it is cheap but low quality crap, for the most part, at least what most people can afford.

Not possible in urban and suburban (laws don't allow this) areas. We're screwed by population density which is just growing.

Divide By Zero Most cities will allow raising chickens for eggs. Very easy to raise 10 cornish rock crosses for your freezer on the sly.

Divide By Zero If you have family in the countryside you can transport food from village to the city.

Meh we were lied to, plain and simple. USDA food pyramid, ha ha, jokes on US.

The reason why Japanese are not fat like us here in the USSA is they have not been totally pickled with corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, GM flour/corn. I think those substances work together and are 100x more powerful "fattening agents" together than separate. Designed to bypass being burned as energy and going directly to "storage"

The long standing myth is that fat people eat a lot. While some do, I can tell you this is mostly bullshit. Its whats in the food is key.

Yes, someone has been injecting this myth that they mostly eat rice and fish to achieve longevity.. traps everywhere..

madara_horseman Considered that you don't need to use pesticides for growing rice, it's still less evil than other grains. Sometimes they even use pesticides to dry buckwheat short before the harvest.

Then there are the "Japanese" Okinawans (actually a territory which used to be a thriving trade crossroads with their own languag and culture closed off to the world and made a part of Japan by the Shoguns) who as a group are known for their exceptional longevity. The historical and cultural basis for their sustenance? Pork and all parts of it and the use of lard in cooking. These were all ignored by the scam book a couple decades back called The Okinawa Diet which one can contrast with Price's observations.
