Fuck that food nazi, I like my food thank you very much.

Censoring your videos also destroys discourse.

[JehxOne]

long as hell man

and it is because they eat so damn good and responsible

I had this argument with a vegan who told me that fish is bad for me and I need to stop eating it

she refused to believe that in Japan these people were eating fish since pre historic time and they live forever

Not to shot the messenger, but how many crowns are in his fellows mouth?

Am I going to stand for some self-appointed food tsar telling me what is good for me?

You ought not either.

I like his ideas, insomuch that it seems hes focusing on education. And getting people to take their own health/eating habits seriously.

But his commodity comment is blah. Everyone has always been a commodity. Always will be. Its just a fact.

In Japan you can smoke almost everywhere: grocery stores, office buildings, bars, etc. Japan also has strict food laws: no HFC, high meat regulations, etc.

THEY LIVE 10 YEARS LONGER THAN US!!!
