That's due to a more Westernized diet.

As far as being thin in Japan is concerned, how is this new? Being thin is "all the rage" everywhere. I had an Asian lady and her daughter come up to my register the other day with two or three diet books, apparently for the daughter who couldn't have lost more than ten or fifteen pounds before she would be an unhealthy looking stick.

I'm hoping that people get the message that all we really should be pushing for is to eat right and be healthy, but I doubt it.
