Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount of grains, fruit and vegetables. Because of their diet, they
have high rate of cancer and heart disease. In Japan, in contrast, people eat large amount of grains and very little
meat. The Japanese also have very low rates of cancer and heart disease. In fact, the Japanese live longer than
