And I would just throw up these pictures. That's what I would do for hours of study time
几个小时的学习,我只需要一张张展示
The medical students would sit there and they drink their supersized Coca-Cola and eat their hamburgers and they would sit there
这些学生则一边喝着大号可口可乐,一边吃汉堡,一边听课
and watch these pictures of the traditional diet in Japan and I would explain to them why this was healing
看着这些日本传统饮食的图片,听我解释这些为何有效
And they were just amazed, like I am telling them the most mind-boggling piece of information they had ever received
他们听得目瞪口呆,感觉就像我在讲一些非常难以置信的高深知识
And so that's just, for me it's such a funny cross-cultural story but
这是我在当地一点有趣的小见闻

just look at these pictures, everything from the whole soy which acts very different than processed soy, Okay
看这些图,这里都是全大豆,这同加工大豆非常不同
bottom line: whole soy good, processed soy not good, So all those PowerBars, Tofutti, Tofurkey and so on, throw them out
一句话就是——全大豆好,加工大豆不好,你们吃的PowerBars Tofutti Tofurkey这些都丢掉
and eat tofu and tempeh and miso, the fish, the greens, the yams, the green tea, the seaweed
吃豆腐,豆豉,味噌,鱼,青菜,薯类,绿茶,海草
I could actually talk to you for 4 hours about seaweed

I have so much to say about seaweed but I won't do that
关于它我有很多心得,这里就不讲了
But this is actually one other piece in Japan that I will just tell you about quickly
关于日本,我还要快速讲个故事
This felt like so incongruous to me
这让我感觉很不协调
Here was this incredibly healthy culture
