I got back from Tokyo about 2 weeks ago and when I was shocked at how screwed up our country is I've been a poster here for a long time since thefattening.  Anyways, I went on a 1 week spring break vacation to Tokyo and it was fucking great. People walking around to their destinations kept the Japanese folks in great physical shape. As many people as I went past, I don't think I saw more than 5 fat people. They would be considered chubby in the US also, not like your typical fat here. I saw more fat foreigners than I saw fat Japanese for crying out loud! And then when I arrived at my first destination from Tokyo was Chicago's airport and holy crap I was shocked when I was suddenly surrounded by a bunch of incredibly unattractive people who take up too much damn space.  Funnily enough, when I took another flight to get to my actual city, there was this guy who sat next to a literal 350lb monster and was literally asking "if no one shows up to those seats could i move". He got screwed when those seats were eventually filled.  Since many people here like to have mild rants about dating I'll say this, Your typical Japanese woman was actually fairly attractive, which is strange as in the US it seems like attractive people are few and far apart. I don't really understand how we got to this point but Japan is evident that you can have a wealthy developed country and not be overran by fat fucks. But I'm sure if you were to leave for a while and came back you would probably be shocked as well.
