What Is It Like Being "Fat" in Japan? (Healthiest Country in the World)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- Meet Pocha-Home, a comedian group who makes a living out of being overweight in Japan. I got to talk to them about their experience living in Japan as quote-on-quote "fat" people, as Japan has one of the healthiest populations in the world. America’s obesity rate is about 40% whereas Japan’s obesity rate is 3.5%. In this video, I chose to compare these two countries because I grew up half of my life in the US, and spent the other half here in Japan.

Hello
I need online job
I m very poor woman I need online home base job
This was great! Thank you this video 😁! I am also a big girl and this was fun to watch. I would love to have friends like that.
My comment is positive. I think you are a nice guy. If someone stops you to discuss the last days or what God has in store for the wick, or does God care, take a minute to listen to the good news of God's kingdom.
I like their confidence, not many would be comfortable participating in such interviews
faxxxx
Maybe because they are comedians, they need to be thick skin to be comedians in variety shows which properly also boost up their confidence.
because they're funny. every fat person has to be funny to survive i know because i was fat until i was 17
@@EnvyTraxusfeel u
probably being comedians and youtubers ups their confidence for interviews a bit
These girls are super cute and I love their energy! They’re a lot more outgoing and extroverted than your stereotypical Japanese person. They’re refreshing, unique and lovely
That’s yo said! I’ve never really seen Japanese people show their personality🙃😊
Yes we need more like them in Japan it’s so boring looking at those mask among Japanese women
I completely agree
You seem to think that Tokyo people = Japanese😅
Not taking yourself too seriously is the key to happiness
@winternight119 then death
It’s also how you end up homeless too.
Hey guys, notice how she said "too seriously". Still take yourself seriously but don't be a party pooper lol
I live in Japan and recently put on weight due to health issues, enough to go up to L or LL size. I know I’m not obese but it’s already feeling really uncomfortable and like I’m standing out from everyone. These girls really cheered me up!
I know the feeling I came from Europe to Japan in Europe im small here im Big 😂
What counts is your ❤and character!
as someone who’s 110 pounds, i’m a S/M in the states, but in Japan i’m literally obese 😀 like ?????
@@lisakimchis50 kg - that's about M in Japan, there's no way you'd be considered "obese" in Japan, unless you're super short (like 140 cm)
Have u tried carnivore or keto diet
You feel uncomfortable and worry if you are standing out from everyone…Many Japanese guys like a girl like you.
I’m very tall and grotesquely skinny. When I wear fashionable clothes, I look confident.
Hundreds of Japanese guys have approached me to say 〝I know you think you look like a model and beautiful and guys like you. We don’t. Guys don’t like a rail〟.
When I’m staring at them, they look happy and say 〝You lost confidence😁？〟.
When I say 〝 I do know my body is super ugly and so what？ Why do I have to look pretty？ Why do I have to get fat for a guy who pays attention only to something on a woman’s chest but never do to anything inside of her chest？〟, they get mad.
Japanese guys like an unconfident girl who always worries if she looks pretty for them.
Some parts seemed extremely tone deaf and degrading but I’m glad the girls were in good spirits. They seem like a blast to be around
Glad I wasn’t the only one thinking that
I felt the same way. I don’t think that just because they are big a lot of things he was doing should’ve been in that interview or done at all .
@@sherimoralesrowe5078 esp. the big mac eating competition like LMAO wtf was that
YES!!! the weight question, the push up, the burger competition…..
These women are not random passerby on the street - being big is literally part of their chosen careers. They get paid to do this sort of thing and likely wouldn't even agree to appear if they felt it demeaning.
Like; these are grown women with their own agency not children. So what 'tone deaf' are you even talking about?
It was a long time since I laughed this much. And I’m not laughing at them, but with them. They’re hilarious 😂
Yeah,what are their social media handles? Would love to follow them
I find this perspective so interesting from a country with Sumo 🤔 power to these ladies- great comedic skill, and I love the fact thay they are all about expressing their autonomy
They seem chill
They are so cute and precious! However, I don’t want them to believe that they can’t lose weight! They still can eat their favorite foods in moderation and still lose weight! Heck you can even make macro friendly versions of their foods too! I just want them to live a long and healthy life because I just love their energy!
They don't care about your opinion ❤
@@pashatash It's factual though. They speak about their weight like a definitive state, while it is absolutely not. The guy just wanted to help
@@bakakumaho1773he can help himself by shutting up.
@@AA-cf4es The guy was respectful but you just can't be open-minded
@bakakumaho1773 why are you babying literal adult women bro???
Its insane if 40kg (88Ibs) for a 160cm (5’2) woman is actually the beauty “standard” in Japan.
That’s a critically underweight BMI!
She also mentioned being seen as obese for weighing 55kg (121 Ibs) at 160cm (5’2), that’s a normal BMI (on the slimmer side).
Women in Japan must either be starving constantly or society calls them fat, my heart goes out to them.
When my brothers visited earlier this year and mentioned that most medicine has an anorexia dosage sinceits terribly common. Even in males, it was common for the elbow BONES to be the thickest part of their arm. Obesity is serious but skinny doesnt always mean healthy.
@@melonjuice7441
That sounds horrible. They have to realize how unhealthy such beauty standards are to those poor kids.
Yes, people still saying asian or japanese are naturally thin… No, people are crazy about to be thin and a lot of ED…
right??? i’m 5’1 and my healthy weight is around 120lbs
Look at ordinary Japanese women, not the media.
That is much healthier than you think.
As a plus-sized woman myself, I’ve often wondered what Japan would be like for me. Maybe it wouldn’t be as bad as I had thought! Thank you for making this video, and thank you to Minako, Yu, and Aiko for doing the interview!! (Aiko, you’ve got such a great vibe and sense of humor, so don’t worry-you’ll get a boyfriend sooner or later! 💙)
plus size...
@@marvin2678aka Fat
I lived in japan on a working holiday visa in 2018-2019 when i was at my heaviest weight and i have to say it is hard. people stare at you when you’re a foreigner but people stare even more when you’re a fat foreigner. i’ve even had random small kids call me “buta” at a station. it’s not impossible to be there while as a fat woman but you stick out like a sore thumb and it’s really hard to blend in and not feel like a walking entertainment for everyone everywhere you go.
My brothers went and they say people make an effort to make you feel bad while "pretending to whisper" literally behind your back. Many people also seem to test out whether you understand them or not and carry on w a nasty tone. They really cant stand a fat persons existence.
You can find some variety in thrift stores for sure, but when I went to the mall, a lot of the Japanese brands is "one size". Their "one size" is a true Small. I could barely fit into their skirts!
I'm a plus sized woman and recently returned from my third trip to Japan. I heard many people commenting about my weight. Most of the comments were neutral tone. Just noting I'm big. But I also heard two Japanese girls making really nasty comments about me thinking I won't understand. But I definitely don't want to discourage anyone from traveling to Japan. Japan is awesome.
shame on them, love that u still enjoyed the trip here;D
This may sound fat, but I know Im only going for the food.
@@melonjuice7441 Japan is a foodie paradise! I hope you have a blast and eat so many yummy things! Don't ever be afraid to share the things you enjoy doing and are excited for!
With this kind of Japanese bullying you should show them that you're confident. If youre bold, you could even come up to them and ask daijubodesuka. These bullies would usually get embarassed and scamper off like roaches exposed to light. Being passive and timid only empowers these bullies so use that gaijin shield and show them that being fat doesnt mean being a pushover nor a clown.
My friends mom & her 2 friend went to Japan for business. All 3 are very obese. Ppl pointed, follower them & poked & took pics & videos like they were zoo animals. My friends mom was so traumatized she has now lost 40kg/88 pounds.
I enjoyed these ladies and their positivity but the eating contest wasn't necessary. You exploited and encouraged the stereotype that overweight people should be ridiculed.
Exactly this. Felt like he was making fun of them the whole time
they're comedians and they do challenges like that on their own channel and on TV as well so it's not that deep
No@@beagleretrieverlab
@@beagleretrieverlabdont takw it personal type beat
I love them 😂 I really struggled as plus size in Japan so it’s nice seeing them
As a girl who is Japanese and American (i live in Japan and visit Japan every summer for school) I am a very normal weight in America, and in no way am I overweight at all. But in Japan, I get called a pig, big and fat, because I have some muscle and I am i little bigger than some girls. But not everyone is clueless. My friend in a year above me let me talk to him about my problems and here's what he had to say. That ]my body is very healthy and problably better and healthier than a lot of girls in Japan and that there is nothing wrong with it. And that people (not all) in Japan tend to try too hard to be skinny, and end up having unhealthy bodies, no matter how pretty and skinny they may look, which is actually common among Asian countries. K-pop and J-pop industries are clear examples of this. And he also said that pigs barley actually have body fat (16%, making adults fatter than normal pigs) so I should almost take it as a compliment, he's so nice and I'm very grateful for him.
why the big mac challenge though?? was it their idea
they're comedians and they do stuff like that for a living so probably
They seem so cool and fun to hang out with
I didnt like the big mac challenge as it seemed degrading..Japan is already fat phobic so why add to the stigma? I would also love a link to their channels
This entire video was really tone deaf. Kind of disappointing as Jesse is usually a decent interviewer
Didn't like that part either
Honestly as a plus size woman I found the whole interview dehumanizing. I know abt the fat phobia & toxic beauty standards in Japan and other Asian countries but it still disturbs me. The girls were in good spirits but that’s bc they’ve had to make a living out of making fun of themselves. The fact that grown women weighing 88 lbs is deemed the beauty standard is incredibly sexist and sad. It’s not just Asia that withholds such sexist beauty standards but it’s seen all over the world. I will never understand how someone can think less of another human bc of their weight and size. I steer clear of such ppl bc they’re not good ppl.
@@Mooyaho90you sre spot on. moreover, if a woman is small, she is weaker, she us easier to control, to attack and to kidnap. We all should thrive to be big, strong and fir some extra fat tissue. It is much safer than being petite.
@@AA-cf4es there is that too. The set beauty standard in any society is a way to control ppl especially women.
the big mac thing was so unnecessary, like why 💀think about what you're insinuating within the context of this interview
Thank you Jess for this video. I recently thought about this topic because I watched a lot of Japanese videos on youtube (walking videos included) and I rearly saw obese Japanese people on the streets so I was very curious about it. Good for you covering this side of Japan. Thank you once again
I'm a big fan of Naomi Watanabe. I watched her TV shows that shined her so much as a protagonist
She's illuminati, please be careful of her. Remarriage is while your first spouse is still alive is adultery and one must repent from it. Either remain single or reconcile. Be careful not to use God's Name in vain, Holy ****, Jesus Christ, jeez/sheesh, OMG, oml are also blasphemous uses of God's Name! Exodus 20:7 forbids it. Lord Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, please don’t worship celebrities and entertainment, focus on Him alone. I promise there’s more to life than money, partying, homosexuality and music. Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️!
Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Racism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget!
So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen. ☺
So did Jesse/producers decide on rhe big mac eating comp? Yeah, doesnt feel right to me. Exploitative and just keeps fueling that fatphobia.
The fact you can also rent obese people in Japan the same way you can rent a girlfriend is just… interesting lol😭
The fact is those are the businesses that over 99.9% of the locals haven't even heard of.
wait what??? for real? what do they do? lol
@@shailefeu9687 they usually take them out to restaurants, buy them food and watch them eat. It must be some kind of fetish tbh
@@natii10where do I sign up 😮
It's called feeding/eaters fetish men take obese women and feed them food but like sit and watch and stuff
They are fun to watch and so much energy these ladies have.
Just wanted to add that weight is not enough of a signifier of health! There are many, many “thin” people who are incredibly unhealthy! (I’m unfortunately one of them but doing my best to get to a healthy body 😅)
Of course everybody can have health problem, but with overweight people their weight is usually cause of many problems... let's not sugarcoated obesity.
loved the video, but having them eat a big mac after one said they wanted to take their diet seriously is just...
I would love to hang out with these gals, they seem to me the type of people who wants everyone to feel comfortable and happy at a party, which is why I’d get along wonderfully with them! I know exactly what they mean about people judging that you smell or pass gas just because of your weight. I used to be 299.9 lbs (136kg) and people would be friendly when face to face with me but I could hear talk about me once they thought they were far enough way, like when I would go out to eat or while shopping in certain isles at the grocery store. I’ve lost 110lbs (50kg) since then by changing my relationship with and how I see food (I finally realized I used to cope with stress/depression by eating). It helped form my personality and helped me to see how to use comedy and humor to my advantage, like these young women did/are doing! I hope if I ever go to Japan (and if my Japanese isn’t too heinously broken lol) I get to have a drink with these women, or maybe even see their comedy show if they preform live!
This was so cute! They're really funny and stylish. It's good that they are able to make a joke about some things but still have their boundaries at the same time, after all everyone is human and has emotions. My younger brother is bigger and it bothers me when people make fun of larger people just for how they look. They could be the greatest person in the world and those people would never have the pleasure of getting to know them just because of their judgement.
I wish them all the happiness in the world! 💖💖
it's crazy....i'm 160cm and 55kg, in the uk I've been called skinny all the time but apparently i'm overweight in japan :(
The positive comments here are likely a result of these three awesome ladies. As a western woman, I found this video difficult to watch. You are very lucky to have three ladies who are so cooperative. My wish is that they would realize how likeable and bubbly they really are, rather than just an object to be ridiculed
These three are so loveable and funny. Their attitude to life and good vibes are everything
They are so happy people. 周りの人たちに気にしないでね。毎日やりたいこといっぱいやって下さい。自分の幸せまず！😊
I have watched them since they have 5k subscribers! Very funny especially the matching app stories! Well being fat is hard in Japan nonetheless
マジで日本の平均体重もっと上がって欲しい、、友達でも心配なくらい細い子おるもん
40キロ台とか中学生以来ないわ、、
I like the video, and the low obesity rate is good, but I think you are missing some important points when claiming Japan is the healthiest country in the world. Obesity is not the only factor that affects health - Japan also has high rates of cancer, heart disease, and stroke, which are major causes of death and disability. It is not fair or accurate to judge a country’s health by its obesity rate alone.
Obesity causes cancer, heart disease, and stroke
Exactly!!!! They are do the same thing talking about Japan is the safest country in the world 😢ignoring the earthquake and tsunamis 🌊
Italy is the world's healthiest country, according to the CEOWORLD magazine ranking that uses data from the United Nations Population Division, the World Bank, the Lancet study, and the World Health Organisation, with Singapore coming at a close second.
High rates? Compared to what?
He never said obesity was the only factor that affects health, but it does lead to a higher risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes etc. Therefore, countries with very low obesity rates like Japan are generally going to be healthier than countries with high obesity rates.
According to The Bloomberg Global Health Index, Japan is the 4th healthiest country in the world. It also has the second highest life expectancy.
This is after taking into account it's high suicide rate, which is the leading cause of death in men aged 20-44 and women aged 15-34.
this is the liveliest interview i’ve seen taken place in japan 😮
I love these women, but damn, this guy was really disrespectful. They were treated like a circus side show, along with any viewer who might be overweight. And those arguing that it's their job, that's again like saying that their feelings and dignity are irrelevant because a few bucks are thrown their way. And his comment about if she could do a push up she could go on a date with him? Yuck!
These women seems so happy. I love it!!❤
Love these ladies❤ I wish them all the success and happiness in life!
Going up to someone and asking what it’s like to be fat is crazy 😂
i was talking to a friend about visiting japan and i made a remark about how my body issues would probably worsen just from being the fattest person in the room at all times (moreso than here at least 💀) but these girls were so chill about it, somehow they made my self hatred a little less strong tonight :) very westernized sense of humor, too. they’d be popular to US audiences.
Had so much fun watching this, they are amazing 😍🤣
These girls are so sweet but I think parts of this video such as the eating contest were cruel. Laughing at them when they answered questions was out of line. You should be promoting that they are as valuable as anyone else, their size does not detract from their worth. You were tone deaf in certain aspects.
I am a Japanese woman. In Japan, if your body type is just a little different from the standard, you are often criticized by strangers passing by. Lookism is everywhere in our daily lives. I have thought about taking my own life many times. The women in the video are comedians, so they are cheerful.
i would love to hang out with them, they seem really fun!
Was it really necessary to degrade them like that? Big mac burgers? The thumbnail? Dating and sex questions? The description to the video? Asking people to comment guessing your weight? Truely lazy interviewing. You had such an opportunity with this video but instead you decided to objectify them. Going to follow them now beause they actually seemed really awesome and insightful unlike this channel🙄
I’m a big fan of Pocha home and I don’t understand why you did make them eat hamburger, simply I want to know the reason. That doesn't seem anything related to the content and it seems that they just want to give a stereotypical image.
0:09 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀😂😂😂😂😂😂 brrooooo STTOOPPPPPPP I WASN'T READY
It's sad to hear about the stereotypes and discriminations they face but im glad that they are able to laugh about it and pass it off, these girls are so confident and funny! I loved your interaction with them, it would definitely be entertaining to see them on a date with you
They are that way because they are fat, if they weren't it would b a different story
« On a date » however looks matter too, especially for men.
@@xdranzer0004 and so does it for women 💅
I love thier confidence so much.
They really brightened my day😂
I liked them all, not a fan of your use of sound effects to emphasize their fatness, I think it's really lame and rude to treat fat people like their existence is a joke.
"…at night, they sleep with plus sized women like us."
Yup, I'm gay and I'm a biiiig boy. Men want me up and down no matter where I go, but they don't want to DATE me because they're afraid of the stigma. It's wild.
i cant believe the 84kg woman is considered obese in japan but "overweight" in my country 💀
It is in overall Asia. If you're over 55 kg here, you're already considered heavy. Take me as an example. I live in the Philippines. I stand at 154 cm and weigh 56 kg and said to be boarderline overweight even though if I go in the western part of the world, I would still be considered having a normal weight
@@rika362I agree, it really depends on where u are living in. As someone whos also living in asia where being over 45kg for women is already overweight, it feels weird when i hear someone saying that 50kg is normal, especually since i am light than both at 160cm
I was around 80kg when I visited Japan and felt like a whale there. Hahaha.
I really love their energy and personality! Will definitely be laughing a lot if chatting with them
Nah they’re fun as hell lmao I’d love to hang out wit them
I need more of these woman in my life. They are so loveable
Well I love them and their vibes. Also, sad but true 7:27
hii i love ur videos!!
I love their energy ❤ they are adorable and positive
ふざけてんじゃねえっていわれたときおれめっちゃわらった
i love them and i’m so happy to watch this!
Pure good vibes in this video! I literally laughed out loud when she did the push up with her butt! I do that too haha. Think I’m going somewhere but it’s just your butt moving ha. Love their personalities
Best brand ambassadors of body positive 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️
Just loved them all 😂🫂
They are all so beautiful!! Love their attitude, it takes a strong person to reject society's beauty standards.
When I was in Japan I had to buy clothing as a plus size lady, so I went to Punyus. I also stopped a random large girl on the street to ask where she bought her clothing and luckily she spoke enough English to help me find a website too.
the big mac challenge was a bit tone deaf but overall loved the video
I’m American and I’ve been trying to move to Japan for a while. I’m currently in the interview process for a couple of jobs. But one of the things that worries me a lot is that I’m overweight. From what I’ve read and watched I’ll be an outlier in Japan, and it will be hard to buy clothes, etc. The social stigma really worries me.
It's true that plus size dresses (and undies!) are not in every store. Just ask the expats community, they will show you where to get what. And you can always buy online too. As social stigma, if you are talking about dating and stuff, most foreigners complain that they couldn't find anyone. More of cultural difference. And fluent japanese is game changer.
Shoes too.. if you are oversize 7 usa in shoes you are SOL. I am 7.5/8 an its hard.
People also comment on your weight here as well--in the sense that people will point out that you've lost or gained weight. In addition, as a foreigner, there is already attention drawn to you by being non-Japanese. This can take a while to get used to.
@@MixedRogueKhorri shoes are fine, I usually wear US 6.5
Don't worry at all. There is no social stigma against foreigners living in Japan. Frankly, there is peer pressure among Japanese, but it's not directed to foreigners living in Japan.
Additionally, there is Amazon and Rakuten. You can literally buy anything from imported clothing/size to cheese. (You can also buy from US Amazon and have it shipped to Japan. You just to need to pay a little extra for shipping.) And there are special stores for "big sizes" too.
But for items that you need to try on to be certain, like jeans or undergarments or swimwear, I'd recommend buying it in your home country and bringing it with you. The clothing size/scale is vastly different in North America, Europe, and Asia...as well as depending on brand line-up, so we all get confused when buying on-line.
I'm pretty sure you'll naturally lose weight if/when you move to Japan. It's the everyday food, portion, humidity, lifestyle, etc.
the one in the middle is normal in the US
I love these girls and their whole vibe - more power to them ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
These ladies are amazing and have a great sense of humor.
But Japan is the land of Sumo!! Sumo's are fat too?? And I met like 2 fat Japanese guys.. but they traveled a lot overseas.
I really love how they embrace their weight and are confident in themselves something alot of people need to learn!
These three seem like a great bunch, and they are funny AF.
On another note, just a little over a year I was 122 KG, so I was heavier than any of them, and today I am 82 KG so lighter then the lowest one. But I still have a belly, and I still have a desire to lose more weight. But I'm not sure if I will be able to. And I was never teased for being fat IRL when I was 122KG, but since I was streaming on twitch I was constantly flamed for being fat online. Ppl do be like that when they have the safety of the internet in between them and you.
girls cant naturally do pushups, i had to train for months to do half a pushup a man can do 😂 and im 50kg
You should ask what it is like being heavy on the earth, or skinny with clogged arteries. The entire earth is in critical condition.
nice :D great work on this video- super entertaining!
I'm very disappointed in you, you weren't taking the eating contest seriously :C You were taking breaks and we all could see that you were stalling for time~~
They’re such a vibe lol😂✨
well, your fatphobia was disappointing. look at your expression in the still! asking them their weight right off the bat (or at all) was extremely rude, and degrading. luckily they were confident but this was hard to watch. people should be left to live no matter their size. also: as far as health goes, skinny isn’t healthy either.
People really don’t care if you’re big or not lmao It just preferred to be healthy
I've never seen Japanese women where they are so direct and relaxed in an interview before! The stereotype is one of demure, polite restraint, so it is great to see this fun and friendly side!
Theyre so hilarious 😂
I love them ❤😂
Care about your health not about your size. You're to beautiful and life can be even more beautiful
They are so cute and funny! 😆 But fr what is seen a healthy weight in for example Japan, Korea and China is reeeally messed up 🗿
none of them were obese...the burger eating "contest" seem exploitative...
They were all obese. They are also all comedians/actors with their own youtube channel. No one's being exploited here.
I agree.
I love this video!!!
Wait, why are Big Macs bigger in Japan?!
These ladies give such positive vibes! Ready to watch them talk forever.
lol their vibe just makes you happy instantly xD
these women seem so fun to be around
Thanks for this unique interview
Are they the healthiest? Or is it genetics? Or an obsession with being absolutely as tiny as possible?
I felt so bad for one of my Japanese friends. She is very very tall. Like close to 6ft and was considered obese in Japan, no doctor would take her as a patient when she was pregnant, because she was “high risk”, because of her height and weight, she isn’t even fat, just tall. She had to ride the train for two hours to find a doctor who would see her. Luckily she moved to the USA and wasn’t considered high risk at all. What would have happened if she had gone into labor in Japan though? Just gonna hop on the train while in labor and go for two hours to your one doctor who would see tall women? Freaking crazy.
Wow 😒 that's horrible. However, I've heard there are various issues even with the Japanese healthcare system even if it's supposed to be good. Some doctors are quacks at their jobs, inexperienced for certain things (will refuse certain cases), lazy, and/or women have less freedom for certain things like abortion in Japan. This case just adds to the list of those problems.
I work in a Japanese hospital, and I've rarely heard of a case where the hospital refused to deliver a baby. If you're obese, there's a chance they might refuse you, in which case they'd transfer you to another hospital.
@@nothnx3210Abortion in Japan is quite common as christianity doesn't have influence in the country. Much freer than the US in the way. What are u talking abt seriously.
I doubt your anecdote. Refused for being close to 6ft? Which is tall for a Japanese woman but not extremely tall.
Also Japan has one of the longest life expectancy in the world, which has nothing to do with the "genetics". Cuz most of the countries with long life expectancy are rich Western ones with a few exceptions like Japan, Hong kong and Singapore etc.

ぽちゃホームなにしてんすかー🤣
They don’t even be mad. I just Moved to Japan 3 months ago and experienced them call eachother fat and not be upset. In America hands would of been caught by now
You met these people
The one n the purple funny when she tried the push-ups 🤣🤣
To me the advice they gave at the end is not the best. As a gym bro I feel that weight loss can contribute to a more sustainable and happier life in the long run. But you do not have to be excessively lean or super skinny, just better than you are now. Loved their energy, just no their messages.
to each their own. Some people wanna just live and have a good time. And not everyones goal is to live until they're old af, just to be happy while their alive.
@@missplainjane3905 Not everyone wants to grow old.
@missplainjane3905 You can't tell people how to live or tell them that they should live a long time. By saying "don't take it for granted" that's hypocrticial, the whole point of people doing what they want to even if it shortens their lifespan-- thats them not taking life for granted and doing life to the fullest. If you wanna be boring, go ahead.
I love these women, but to the ppl who are like “they can lose weight!!”
i just want to remind people that weight does not indicate health!!
nor does it indicate beauty or hygiene!
