    We have travelled for about a month in Japan last year. They work under constant stress, lots of commute on public transit. I also did not feel their food was that healthy, lots of fried food and sweets. But the portion is small compared to what we would normally eat in a meal.

      I don’t get the bit about public transport. Do you mean it’s unhealthy because public transport is stressful?

        Surely the exercise that comes with using public transport outweighs that. I feel like being able to zone out and not having to focus on driving, is more relaxing to me.

          Yup, public transit over driving for me any day. I grew up in NYC which has a relatively nasty public transit system too.
