Japan's Dietary Transition and Its Impacts (Food, Health, and the Environment) Hardcover – August 24, 2012

Not only was the book in fabulous condition, but it was wrapped with care and arrived in a timely fashion. I highly recommend this book seller!

Despite being a little dry I found this reading captivating. Incredible how Japanese government has been gathering Food consumption information since the 1800s. Most amazingly, they completed the survey soon after the Hiroshima bombing.It’s fascinating to see how the health, weight, height and overall well-being of the Japanese people has changed as they migrated from a agrarian society eating primarily grains, To the impact immigration hard on their food and their health in the early 1900s and ending in the late 1900s with the advent of fast food and beef.
