Why is it so Easy to be Thin in Japan?

2. It's all about access , options, affordability, and convenience

We can see this just in the US also where obesity is higher among lower income groups. Because low income areas are more likely to only have cheap fast food . Even places with things like salads and grilled chicken sandwiches which are considered healthy are likely to cost a lot more. While the dollar menu is full of unhealthy food.

Convenience is a huge thing because the fact is many people don't have the time or just don't want to cook regularly everyday for whatever reason.

I have seen some youtube videos on 7-11s in Japan and if I ever go there i'm going to check it out. As this video says it's not that it's totally healthy but it's not unhealthy either. It's cheap and acceptable if you don't want to spend too much and just want something right away. And everyone has access to it .

Add to this having outdoor and walking spaces for people and that's the solution to dealing with the obesity problem in the long term.
