When you look at demographic similarities among East Asians, is it a sign the East Asian diet is better for the body than the American diet?

Trademarks of the Asian diet, are a wider variety of vegetables, a wider variety of animal body parts in their diet such as the duck neck or the pig ear or the bird toes, as well as a wider variety of fermented food additives and a broader base of teas to choose from. I've met people who eat food that is not healthy, but they eat more vegetable and meat types than others and they seem to be fairly fit, but they also do intermittent fasting after large holiday meals, and they run to lose weight too. I have never met a Chinese person with an allergy because Chinese people have a very diverse diet and their gut bacteria is trained to accept a wide variety of foods from birth.

Oh yeah absolutely. They teach them to like better foods and not enormous portions. I mean Japanese love the longest because they like white rice and fish and not huge portions

American food is designed to kill, so processed and designed to make you addicted

What I like about East Asian cuisine, is the fact they have lots of vegetarian food, not just China, Japan and Korea, but other East Asian countries too.

Almost anything is better for the body than the American diet.
