On Okinawa’s Obesity Problem
Okinawa has more than two and a half times the national average of people over 100 years old and an extraordinary number of people who enjoy excellent health well into their eighties.
But the next generation is the fattest in Japan and has a range of obesity-related illnesses that could kill them in middle age.
Experts blame fast food, which was introduced to Okinawa when the island was administered by the US after WWII. Okinawa got its first fast-food restaurant in 1963, seven years before Tokyo, and it still has more fast-food restaurants per person than anywhere else in the country.

Japan is closed country, I think too. For example, UK, US, Canada, and other big countries have many immigrants. I feel so much because I went other countries and I saw many immigrants. I think if Japan loosen immigration, Japan will change many things. Many people can acquire other countries common sense and communication skill. Economy will be more activate, and will be change the politician 's idea. So I think take more immigrants.
