While the traditional Japanese diet can be healthy, there is a lack of fresh vegetables and high levels of refined carbohydrate, sodium and sugar are consumed. The traditional diet is based around refined white rice and noodles, with protein mainly supplied by eggs, seafood, fish, chicken and pork. Some cooked leafy vegetables are eaten but heavily pickled vegetables and seaweed are very common. Much of the food is flavoured or supplemented with soy and sugar products. Japanese people eat raw fruit and drink green tea. The benefits of this traditional diet are the lower level of fats, higher intake of fish. Unfortunately, as well as a preponderance of highly refined white rice, levels of sugar and sodium are particularly high in the Japanese diet, increasing the risk for throat and stomach cancers. However, the low fat content reduces the risk for Heart disease, Diabetes etc. Younger Japanese are increasingly drawn to Western style food such as Hamburgers, resulting in changed health problems. During two recent visits to Japan during winter, fresh vegetables were rare and very limited fruit varieties were available outside the city centres. It is difficult to find a Western style mixed salad (usually Japanese sald comes as thinly sliced cabbage or iceberg lettuce with very little other ingredients) and I noticed excessive thirst after many restaurant meals due to the high sodium levels in soy flavourings. Dairy products are not used much, although yogurt is easily available.
So Japan will always be developed even though of the many problems the country faces including the fact that 70% of the land is mountains.
Though if they get rid of the problems it could turn out to be the best country ever in the world!

Jennifer Granholm is probably one of our top problems. The biggest problem in our state right now is our very high 11 % unemployment rate- 51st in the nation (DC is included on the list). It goes along with our economy.
