In one of globalization's first acts-when Japanese cars, appliances, and electronics defenestrated American ones, and in return, the American diet exploded Japanese waistlines- our friends in Nippon became a huge net importer of food, getting 60 percent of its sustenance from outside its borders. Its new food obsessions, however, dovetail with the energy crisis (especially the corn) and the exploding world population.

I don't know how difficult it would be for the entire nation to shift from one diet to another. America has had an obesity problem for years and there still hasn't been a shift in diet. Hopefully the Japanese are much wiser than us when it comes to food and diet.
