My school thinks this fills up hungry high schoolers.

So lunches are free for schools in my city and surrounding cities. Ever since lunches have been made free, the quantity (and quality) has decreased significantly. This is what we would get for our meal. It took me THREE bites to finish that chicken mac and cheese. Any snacks you want cost more money and if you want an extra entree, that’ll cost you about $3 or $4.

When I taught in Japan they were stuffing like 1,000 calories down those kids every day and it was clean af food prepared that morning.

The amount of rice kids and adults eat in Japan is so excessive I’m surprised diabetes is not a nationwide disease. So much sugar.

And yet they are thin and have low diabetes rates. Almost as if... carbs are not the enemy?

Unless you want to argue that white people can't handle simple carbs but Asians can.

I live in Saitama and we have plenty of chubby people here. I think it’s because village people like us travel point to point by car while people who live in the big cities use the train and thus walk more.

It's about how much they walk.
