>Just eat like the Japanese do. They happen to have the longest average life expectancy in the world.
No offense meant but hearing that gets really annoying. For several reason. Especially if you hear it almost daily, like me, as some sort of merit that trumps any argument in a discussion.
First, who is to say that one certain type of food is what makes for longer livety?
Not everything is eaten raw here. But that one or two courses is so popular around the world many seem to confuse fish served raw as some sort of standard how the rest of the dishes are prepared.Secondly, we are not talking decades here.
Dudes from 'my' country, as an example, lives only 3 months shorter than Japanese. Perhaps you should go for a Swedish diet?Believe it or not (many where I live won't. Out of patriotic needs, I'd argue, but I digress), Japanese courses are loaded with sugar. And fat.
What they do good, however, is just eating less of it all.
And hats of to them for it.
Kobayashi and gyal sone not withstanding.<rant>
Really. Check what's floating in that bowl of ramen, soba or noodles. What's the quality of the carbs in all that white rice? Even something simple as tamagoyaki, fried eggs, have almost half a dl of sugar. And a dl of sugar is what you drop in those pots that otherwise looks so healthy. What is it that makes Kobe beef that juicy if not the extra fat compared to the leaner variety found elsewhere?

+1 for mentioning not to deprive themselves of normalcy and simple pleasures.
- And your point is?
That Japanese food simply has sugar, carbs, and fat in it?randommail - Perhaps I weren't clear there.
