----------------------------------- i don't know , i knew a skinny little old lady , she was 102 . She lived in a retirement / old folks home with a live in caretaker . I met her once or twice . Every once in awhile she'd be rolled out on a gurney to enjoy the sun on the sundeck . She was 102 and could do nothing so whats the sense eh Sobieski ??If they pay less, and live longer, it's clearly a no brainer.

Pig in Japan: the nation's most popular meat | The Japan Times
-------------------------------- comment on the fact that its none of governments business . -------------- All Americans should have the opinion that in a FREE Country like the USA many things are NONE of governments business . Off topic but part of the problem with importing foreignerers into the USA is that they bring their foreign thinking with them as they vote to elevate American government to higher positions of power and authority over the American people Fridgid .------------- just a comment !!Of course Japan has one of the best diets in the world, and the lowest obesity rate to boot.
It's amazing how eating healthily makes people have lower obesity. I've had a discussion/argument on here about it and the other person's attitude was "it's none of the govt's business", but the govt does make sure that large multinationals who deal in sugary food, get to be more competitive than anyone else.
That's easyI really do want to know why we can't do as well or better: we are America. Let's see if we can discuss this without personal attacks, name calling, flaming etc. Let's be polite.

Lots of reasons, and all of them relating to the Japanese being much, MUCH less selfish than the Americans.
1) People aren't out to screw people over when it comes to healthcare, unlike in the US where Doctors, Hospitals, Insurance Companies, Pharma companies are all out to make as much money out of the system as possible.
2) Food companies like Mars, Pepsi, Coca-Cola etc don't get massive tax deductions for pumping sugary food into people.
3) People don't get told that the govt is evil and out to get them
Spare us the "japanese are better than us" silliness....they are rabid racists, they treat women like 2nd class citizens and they have a police state......they willingly submit to the government.....and they still haven't apologized for the atrocities they committed against civilian populations during World War 2....

2Aguy is correct , japan is a police state . That being said , my comment to Jan Sobieski is that it should be no ones business how many 'brats' are eaten by germans . And of course , here in the USA anyone that wants to can eat a japanese style diet anytime they want to .

Yeah, but at the same age, they will tend to be healthier.

------------------------------------and japanese are very subserviant to police and authority . japan also disarmed its population of swords long before they disarmed their population of guns . Only Samurai and upper class were able to have swords or weapons . ----------- all that being said , japan is fine , smart people , nice , polite but i wouldn't want Japanese style here in the USA Sobeiski . ------------------------------- and if anyone can add to or correct my info on guns , swords and subserviance in Japanese society i would like to read it .I really do want to know why we can't do as well or better: we are America.

So, Japanese are racist, anti-feminists, wow it truly just gets better, and better.

We don't have national health care in this country
we have the mandated purchase of health insurance
When insurance became mandatory for people to do business of any kind, or travel, or work...When medicine became an industry in America that was the beginning of the end. When hospitals and medical centers started selling stocks on Wall Street, that was the end. Regardless of whether this is 2017, a family should be able to pay for medical, dental and medicine without having to have an expensive insurance with astronomical deductibles. I and a lot of older people can remember the forties and fifties when the average person didn't have or need insurance. You could get a tooth filled for less than $25 and you could see the doctor and get a prescription and not have to get a second mortgage on your house. Politicians, as someone said, could put a stop to this highway robbery but then they wouldn't get kickbacks and perks. It's a national shame.
---------------------------------- and thats cool , personal choice and all that . Lefties in the USA though would make expert and doctors opinion the law of the land just to save healthcare costs and thats what i object too Sobeiski .-------------------------------------- as a general observation you MAY be correct .

Well, I think it's about moderation, you don't eat Bratwurst every day, but maybe 1 or 2 times a week.

How is Japan a police state. Are they going around and arresting people for political opinions. We can eat a Japanese style diet here and still have to pay the outrageous premiums.2Aguy is correct , japan is a police state . That being said , my comment to Jan Sobieski is that it should be no ones business how many 'brats' are eaten by germans .
