I have a feeling it is more about that, combined with limited access to junk food, that makes them live longer. After all, the Atkins diet was roughly determined to be accurate.

Geez, for a guy who calls himself "policy oriented," you just made quitea few ignorantly broad strokes.
1. Does
every Asian get forced at gun point to exercise...? No.
Certainly, having it in the corporate workplace and some schools helps, but this isn't mandated everywhere, and to say every Asian country does it, and that it's attributable to their better health is pushing it. Americans are exercise crazy too, they just also like to eat shit.
2. I agree on the limited access to junk food, but just because they have limited access to processed, traded junk doesn't mean they don't have and eat their own junk.
3. Atkin's Diet. Right. Like the KFC "eat all chicken it's good for you" campaign that was pulled b/c it was retarded...? The Atkins diet is HIGHLY questionable, as is a strictly vegan diet......

Good Lord, everybody who is addicted to meat like heroin has that "one vegan friend" story, and rather than figuring out why that particular vegan was unhealthy and unhappy, they just assume that that's every vegan (btw, it's most certainly not).
Imagine it from the flipped perspective. I live in a town of vegans, and we meet a fat ass who eats fried foods and McDonalds hamburgers every day. He's unhealthy, can't walk a block without getting winded, and has REALLY high cholersterol. Should I thus assume that this one irresponsible person is reflective of ALL meat eaters....?
