I've covered half the book. So far i've reestablished that americans are fat. Not entirely caused by fast food as an american staple, but because we dont do that recommended 10,000 steps...Especially in california, our asses drive everywhere. Need to go to the post office? drive there. Need to buy groceries? Drive there. Need to go to your neighbors house? I know your ass is going to drive there if its hot outside. In Japan, people walk or ride a bicycle; even if they have three bags of groceries. On the downside, being thin is a mental issue as well...but i'm pretty sure it's the same here too. I think the biggest thing i've picked up is they're philosophy on food. Food is art. Food is love. Food isn't just made, its created whether its gourmet or homecooked. Unlike the american culture, eating food is an art. They savor every bite and every taste. OH! and everything has its own small container: a soup bowl, rice bowl, sauce container, chopstick stand. Ergo, everything is portion controlled. And my last favorite is eating with chopsticks. I guess eating with chopsticks takes more concentration, so you're not rushing and i think you get full faster. i think the last half are mostly recipes.
