Answer 1

Why do Indians barbecue tarantulas for treats? Why do the Spanish put 7 ingredients together and name it 150 different meals?

They just do. They like it.

Answer 2

Sushi tastes better than any steak I've ever had, Americans eat more raw meat (steak tartare for instance) than the Japanese and as far as raw veggies - hmmm, I guess you don't eat lettuce, celery, carrots or peppers?

I would take sitting in a sushi restaurant with people gracefully picking up their sushi with chopstics than I would an American steakhouse full of people chewing big fatty wads of beef.

It's much more "civilized."

Answer 3

They don't eat hardly any raw meat, but they eat raw fish and cooked fish , same with veggies. I saw a news report saying that 13% of japanese women were overweight , to The U.S. average of 37% of women being overweight. Fish and veggies still sound bad? Please note: It was a topic on women , no men's statistics were shown at the time.
