00:00Japan is the only country that got rich without getting fat.
00:044.5% of Japanese people are obese compared to 26% in Britain and 42.5% in the
00:10United States.
00:11So I went to a school called Koenji School, which takes kids from 5 to 18.
00:15And I remember with these kids, I was asking them their favorite foods.
00:19The first kid I asked said, my favorite food is broccoli.
00:22I was like, right.
00:23The second kid said, my favorite food is seaweed.
00:26And the third one was like, I like white rice.
00:27And I said to Chie, my translator, are these kids trolling me, right?
00:31Like, what their favorite foods are broccoli and like white rice.
00:34And she just looked kind of puzzled.
00:35And every Japanese person I asked said, well, we teach our children to like healthy food.
00:39Don't your children like healthy food?
