is it so hard to make the connection that as J folk grow taller, that they grow proportionally wider? numbers alone would suggest an epidemic of fatties here ;) only a moron would make a determination of obesity based on waist size or standardized ratios when it is so easy…

I think Angel needs to think about things beyond the numbers. Things work different in Japan than Mexico.

In spite of the fact that the expenditure per student in Japan is among the lowest in the world for developed countries. Japan has one of the world's highest ratios of children…

What an irresponsible statement, and beyond that, what a statement of disrespect. Do any of these people study history?

Right on the head O baby. Japan should get back to their roots and this country would be so much better! Why before all of this christian influence, only 150 years ago, only the lords of the land could own property, education was for none less than the samurai, and…
