Why is Japanese food considered healthiest and most popular?

They don't eat a lot of oil/lard soaked sugary slop, have a high life expectancy, and walk a lot.

>>76375501 (OP)
less sauces and oils
snacks have less sugar and in general are in smaller sizes
i was there for two weeks this summer and lost 4 lbs despite gorging on food and having ice cream every day

This. If they ate more low fat protein their diet would be perfect

They're like "health mom" level of phobic about preservatives and additives so most of what they eat is at most two steps away from being unprocessed. I can't say I agree with all of it because a lot of paranoia about "chemicals" is absolutely baseless but it's a leaves a less room for bad shit to slip in there.

just imagine that there's a basedjack somehwere in the meme I just made

bugs:
>ICKY!
sea bugs, japan:
>YUMMY

thinking eating a shrimp is the same as eating a cockroach is such a hilariously stupid argument

Ignorance
The Japanese deep fry fucking EVERYTHING
Seriously you guys have no idea

In the US the serving sizes are often comically enormous. In Japan, it's the opposite. Serving sizes are pretty small. You can find food that's "bad for you" in Japan, but because the serving size in each package is so small, you have to work a lot in opening packages to eat a lot.

When new food is introduced you don't need a proof to suspect it, it's guilty until proven innocent.

Japan has the 2nd most stomach cancer on earth. They say the Japanese diet includes 100s of vegetables, right? Well how do you stock a fridge like that without a ton of spoilage? You don't. Most of their vegetables are pickled, which is up there with smoking and bacon.

Also this. A lot of their food is fried, added sugar, carbs, etc. The key to their diet? Portion control and no cars.

...have you actually been to Japan?
i've been there three times and i could barely even get anything deep fried at restaurants except for fried chicken at some fast food joints.
also, fatty sauces were very uncommon as well; extra flavor usually came from onions/chili

Karaage, tonkatsu, croquette, tempura... what do you even think the country makes panko crumbs for?

They also fucking love mayo/ My point is, as long as you eat all of the above in moderation, you can be fit and live to be 100. Americans will eat Popeyes daily because YOLO mentality.
