Japan is literally the only country in the developed world that doesn't see their trends following the path of America. Even culturally similar countries like Korea are seeing a rise in overweight and obesity similar to the trends that happened in America and other countries in the west. And Korea has one of the largest shame-industrial-complexes around people being fat, with it being the norm for everyone from your friends and family to strangers pointing out the fact that you're overweight, one of the most insane beauty industries in the world, a 'show up and get GLP-1 medications same day' complex that puts America's compounding industry to shame when it comes to ease of access, etc. If other countries avoid getting as fat as America was at her fattest, it will be because of GLP-1 medications, not because they are morally superior with a better work ethic.
