Consider the cute little bottle of milk pudding I bought in Otaru, which tasted like the quintessence of milk – tangy, pure, and lightly sweet. As for cheese, Cambembert is one of the strongest varieties commonly produced in Hokkaido, and even this is typically buttery and mannered, with a very subdued mold presence. Some may see this as an egregious affront to the name Camembert, but the cheese is good – not authentic, perhaps, but winsome in its sweet simplicity. At the airport, I picked up some Hokkaido-made Provolone, Caciocavallo, and onion Cheddar – all quite mild – and enjoyed them all immensely. And the sausage, well… let’s just say that the brawny venison sausage that I had atop Mt. Moiwa and the rugged pork sausage wrapped around rib bones that I brought home filled a serious void in my shokuseikatsu. [...]

Can you tell someone’s bone density by looking at them? In doing big surveys, scientists ask for number of fractures. It just seems like an ignorant (and equally cocky) comment, so I had to say something.

And Jude, yea, I read in a book by Willett (of Harvard’s school of public health) that..
“Hip fractures tend to be more common in countries with high average calcium intake” (p.163)
“Only a quarter of the world’s adults can fully digest milk” (p.166)

I liked this article; it taught me that just like in America, lobbyists run the pyramid.

Plus most races are allergic to milk, so clearly milk isn’t completely need. Lactose in. people live normal lives, are just a s tall as normal people, and don’t have osteoporosis later in life. Things like soda, and milk leach calcuim from the bones, and you can get calcuim from veggies and fruits.

I was looking for graphics for my post about the Food Top and stumbled upon yours. I think I laughed so hard I got a whalebone stuck in my nose, but once I ate a raspberry Kit Kat, everything was fine.

I may have to stop writing my blog and just read yours.
