スーパーサイズ ミ (supersize me)
Supersize me – a documentation about the fastfood culture in America even nominated for an Oscar. And “yes” this movie underlined every stereotype Germans had about Americans. But why am I talking about this? I am in Japan now, the country of Sushi, rice, udon and other healthy food. And furthermore the country with one of the healthiest population on the world.
I am talking about this, because Japan is surpringsly selling a lot of super-size products. But these are not only disconfirmed expectations for a German even the Americans keep seeing super-size products in american fast food restaurants like Mc Donald’s or Wendys, which are not being sold in the US! So far no Japanese person could tell me why and observing the people at the Mc Donald’s at the campus, it doesn’t seem that the Megamac has a high popularity for Japanese students. So I sadly can’t tell what’s happening here.
