The sense of crisis of Japanese traditional diet

Japan is an island country in the East Pacific. Japan was a very closed and backward country in ancient times. Because ancient Japan was isolated from overseas, the geographical area was narrow, the productivity level was low, and food was scarce, ordinary people often did not have enough to eat. As we all know, in ancient times, China people ate rice and noodles the most, while Japanese people seldom ate rice and noodles. Then why don't Japanese often eat rice noodles? What do they eat instead of rice noodles? The reason why Japanese people don't eat rice and noodles is not because they don't have them, but because they can't afford them.

Rice and rice were also grown in ancient Japan, but rice noodles were eaten by nobles and rich people, and ordinary people could not afford them. There was no wheat in Japan at first. Wheat was introduced to Japan in Sui and Tang Dynasties. Due to the shortage of land and low wheat yield in Japan, the wheat yield in Japan is very limited. The most helpless thing is that the Japanese lack milling equipment and cooking technology, so they have been using wheat as feed. Later, although some milling equipment was introduced from abroad, flour was too expensive, because the technology had not been mastered, so until the Meiji Restoration, ordinary people ate pasta, which used to be eaten by the upper classes such as nobles and samurai.

So what is the diet structure of Japanese people? In fact, most Japanese office workers eat the same thing for lunch: large pieces of fried pork, rice, miso soup, eggs, various side dishes, Lamian Noodles and jiaozi, Lamian Noodles and fried rice, Lamian Noodles and pork, Lamian Noodles and rice, rice soup, pickles, China noodle soup and salad. When I used to go to work, the most annoying thing was that I couldn't find a healthy lunch. They even say that Japanese people lose weight because of food! The second worry is that these office workers eat too much lunch. Although each one is small and varied, it is difficult for girls to eat them all if they try.

The third worry is the unhealthy diet of these lunches, either a big carbohydrate meal or various fried foods. I racked my brains at that lunch and finally found a dish to brush every day. Some people say that going out to eat may be unhealthy, but eating a healthy lunch is a bit expensive. Not every family can make a beautiful and healthy lunch like online photos. For example, too few vegetables. Because in the traditional Japanese diet, the number of vegetables is very small. In Japanese cuisine, small bowls are usually put on small plates. If you put it in a lunch box, you can only eat one bite. Besides looking good, you can also study how many vegetables you eat. Japanese office workers also like drinking, especially beer. After reading these, I found that Japanese food is not very popular either.
