People in rich counties often eat too many calories. too much animal fat, and many sweet thangs. They eat too littlefibre. In poor countries, diets are too low in calories, animal products, vitamins and minerals. But these diets are usually high in cereals.

The effects of these diets vary from country to country. The Japanese now live longer: more  than 74 years for men and 80 years for women.

Heart disease is not very common in Japan. About 27% of people die of heart disease in many european contries, compared to fewer than 7% of the japanese. The Japanese diet is a healthy one because it is low  in  animal fats and includes many vegetables and fish. They eat twice as many vegetables as the british.

Vegetables have a soluble fibre which helps  to lower cholesterol. It also lowers the risk of heart disease, cancer and ulcers. Another advantage is that the Japanese eat a lot of seafood. each Japanese person eats about 89 g of seafood everyday.
