Why don't Japanese people (in Japan) get fat? Maki gives a few reasons: peer pressure, more unplanned movement, and smaller portions. Also, as a Japanese expat living in Switzerland, she comments on the extra weight Japanese people gain when they leave Japan, known as the kaigai seikatsu, or "overseas living," 15.

Also, their food is more nutritious than American food, until recently anyway. Pickles are a staple, which aid proper digestion and last but not least, they don't have the culture of greed to the same degree that the average american buys into in terms of quantity. Supersize Me, anyone?
