    The obesity and diabetes pandemic is just around the corner here too.

    Next time you marvel at the comparative affordability of your supermarket bento, take a close look at what has made it so inexpensive (cheap, additive laden, processed ingredients), and delicious (more additives, fat, fructose, salt, MSG).

    Time for affluent Japan to get wise to the poverty diet that their peers elsewhere have long eschewed, and stick to Big Food and their shareholders!

    The old farts strike again. A ridiculously antiquated, anti-family stance by Tokyo Family Court.

    Legally, the state has given its blessing to both the father's gender reassignment and the parents' marriage.

    Their situation is no different, therefore, to a couple choosing to adopt.

    A child's welfare and self worth is at stake. TFC should serve the family, not their own outdated morality.

    The linguine absorbs the flavor of the clams, giving it just the right chewy texture

    The food scientists' jiggery pokery even makes the taste affect the texture. Wow!

    Never mind the processed junk at the konbinis. Does anyone swallow this excuse for journalism?

    Why am I reminded of the worst type of doorstep salesman (or missionary, for that matter)?

    Is America really so gullible as to swallow everything this 'say anything deal closer' spins at them?

    Farewell to the great strategist, who in banning diesel vehicles (instead of making the fuel cleaner):

    Made Japanese manufacturers more reliant on rare earths and expensive hybrid tech; Handed competitive advantage to the European and Korean car industries; Hindered adoption of lower CO2 emission diesel in the rest of the world.

    Thank God for punk rock, challenging institutionalized deference, misogyny, racism, and the unaccountable. Never noticed Jimmy pogo on TOTP...

    Serrano,

    Guaranteed if Romney had been condescending and said this stuff to Obama, the liberals would would be complaining and saying he wasn't being respectful

    He was, after all, talking to the man who only recently pondered why plane windows don't open...

    Wakarimasen,

    'Wakarimasen', indeed. Let's try the truth, not the yah, boo, hiss! of the playground.

    Jimmy Savile spent 11 successive New Years Eves at (Prime Minister's official country residence) Chequers with Margaret Thatcher. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/rockandpopmusic/8857759/Jimmy-Savile-the-big-fixer.html

    As for the out of control media alluded to, correct me if I'm wrong in observing that the 'out of control' print titles were decidedly not left-leaning. Although the Tories would of course gain great political capital by clamping down on their sworn enemies in the City.

    David Cameron's policies seem limited to gagging his coalition partners, and dismantling the Welfare State. He can't fight back on crime because he's fired too many cops, and peed off the rest of them by NOT firing the cabinet minister who swore at the policemen guarding Downing Street. Time for Change!

    Last time we moved we needed a huge truck. How richer would I be if I could still carry it all in a backpack?

    In a country where the government dictates what you see, hear and think, why shouldn't a tycoon (like his Politburo buddies) dictate what car you drive too?

    Doubleplusgood!

    ...which is the logical evolution. I wouldn't write those efforts off, or assume a lack of global ambition. There are so many processes that could be aligned with global practice and allow Japan to compete and lead, further up the value chain, away from commoditised finished goods.

    Tigerlily,

    but because they're all a bunch of lunatics, the focus must be on the ME

    OK to bomb, shoot, waterboard and extraordinarily render (Orwell would have been damned proud of that phrase) them then.

    Ever stopped to consider what they (or indeed the rest of the world) think about you? Not that it matters, of course. Just dismiss them as Rumsfeld did with 'Old Europe'.

    These are World Bank and IMF meetings, not the Sino-Japanese Friendship Association. What a puerile and senseless boycott.

    Tatanka.

    Respect begets respect. If some crank in the Middle East made a movie featuring Christ as a rent boy, how would that go down (no pun intended) in Middle America?

    Is Mitt's idea of foreign policy to rub everyone (except Likud) the wrong way?

    As for the unelicited revealing during a TV debate of plans to do away with one of America's few positive cultural icons, Sesame Street, is this the behavior of a strategic negotiator, or a reactionary muppet?

    Let's hope that the US chooses NOT to have Big Bird for Thanksgiving, but gives a most deserving and juicy turkey a good roasting.
