But what if you're not Japanese? I know you can extrapolate out generally, but it's one of the most ethnically homogeneous countries. We know different genetic traits can play a large impact on dietary needs. So it's a shame this isn't a more diverse country like some countries or parts of North and south America or some countries in Africa.

I'd say extreme dieting issues would apply to all homosapians given the bottle neck at most we're like 6th or 7th cousins or something. so we're actually all very genetically similar.

Inuit diet is 99% meat and fish. People don't need plants at all.
