It’s probably the only daily carbs they get, and it is needed
Carbs aren’t bad if you know.. burn them off. They also eat a lot of rice to be fuller easier/longer. Food of the poor

A traditional japanese meal is not all carbs we talking miso soup, a protein, rice and vegetables. They are basically the Asian blue zone diet. Its all about portion control. Go to mcdonalds a 10 pc nugget doesnt exist there and a large fry is a damn near a small. Add that to the fact they walk alot and most companies have some form of exercises in the morning as well.

Might be the only country to survive an apocalyptic disaster
Their people will literally get along and work together for the betterment of Japan.

Carbs aren’t the enemy they’re made out to be…. It’s just most carbs in the state are over processed and have no nutritional value…. and will have a negative impact on your health

My brother in christ, then youve never been to japan
Everytime i go to the japan i look at those teishokus in disgust cause i know it’s not gonna fill me up. You think Japanese people are eating ramen and tempura everyday, thats the equivalent of hitting up Applebee's everyday over here. Japanese meals are well rounded with only carb being a moderate serving of rice.

Women Sumo wrestlers are an afront to traditional Sumo upholders, since the entire sport was devoid of women outside of the kitchen and the barracks they stay at for matron duties; Cooking and cleaning. If you got Netflix, check out Sanctuary. Not because it sheds light on females in Sumo, because it's pretty cool.
But yeah, a fat man who wasn't wealthy was seen as greedy/lazy/untrustworthy because he couldn't respect himself enough to not over eat or some shyt I heard once. So he'd be lower down the line in terms of getting a job since he was already seen as flawed. Japanese society as interesting as it is to us foreigners is depressingly myopic for those not able to secure meaningful jobs and attract women, so you've a whole society of veritable losers jerking off and playing videogames all day while their women chase anyone else if they can't get white dudes. shyt's even worse in Korea.

too much sugar here. fukkin corn syrup in everything
Didn't watch but *cracks knuckles*
Bottom line, this is not a Japan vs America way of eating thing...it's an America vs the parasite companies that allow this issue to happen.
There was a time when Michelle Obama wanted to raise health awareness and so forth, but cacs and dumb ass redneck knuckle dragging fat back cacs made her BTFO.
Now look at the country
- Japan's food is probably as greasy and hazardous as American food, but the Japanese are conditioned to not go overboard
- It helps that the country has a GOAT public transportation and walk friendly
- Genes
- Beliefs that teaches enjoyment of food, rather than being a glutton of large proportions

They walk everywhere and have smaller portions, that's probably most of it 
That being said there's probably a genetic component too as they tend to have smaller frames in general.
I also think there are probably chemical/metabolic reasons we don't really understand yet. Saw a study not too long ago that said a person in the 1980s eating the same amount (and doing the same amount of exercise) as someone in the 2020s would still be thinner. Why? Nobody is really sure.
Some people are speculating that chemicals and hormones in the food supply (that weren't there in the 80s) might make people more prone to weight gain.

People think the 7/11 food in Japan is good. Imagine thinking food you microwave up at a gas station is good

Post WWII Japan from a societal benefits standpoint is what you get when you dont have a war focused country.
Cheap good Healthcare
Strong Public transportation
Strong Public safety net
Low cost of living
Japan (and many east asian societies) also have a live for the community culture vs the live for self culture of the west.
People feel ashamed of fat here because they dont like the way they look. Japanese feel shame for being fat because the entire society will look at them like they aren't pulling their weight. Its a different type of culture.
