Incredible! The way it sums up the problem is wonderful, and very easy to understand. Its like watching a Wii of the economy.
Even better, solutions are offered.
Keep it up, Japan, World, and infosthtics!
I've just finished reading a book called the world is hot, flat and crowded by Thomas Friedman. This is one of the major issues mentioned in the book.. Food crisis:
And thankfully, the solution is well elaborated through this infographics. Thanks, I will post it in my blog as well.
p.s.* I though i gain weight from eating rice daily but from this video, my 'overweight' came from the fast food that i ate twice a month.. which one is which?
Having enjoyed this blog for many hundreds of entries, am glad to finally have been able to contribute something as well.
Thank you for this wonderful blog!

WOW! You could easily substitute America for Japan in this video as it clearly shows just how much "Westernization" is bad for the health of people and their economy. Very convincing and simple in addressing the problem but also in showing the benefits of a solution.
The Asian diet is statistically much healthier anyway, just look at how long those people live!
Go vegan everyone!
Nice animation. *Reminds Me* of this:

(However, a small island nation with a very large population will always be dependent on others for food.)
