What are some problems facing Japan now?

Answer 1

While the traditional Japanese diet can be healthy, there is a lack of fresh vegetables and high levels of refined carbohydrate, sodium and sugar are consumed. The traditional diet is based around refined white rice and noodles, with protein mainly supplied by eggs, seafood, fish, chicken and pork. Some cooked leafy vegetables are eaten but heavily pickled vegetables and seaweed are very common. Much of the food is flavoured or supplemented with soy and sugar products. Japanese people eat raw fruit and drink green tea. The benefits of this traditional diet are the lower level of fats, higher intake of fish. Unfortunately, as well as a preponderance of highly refined white rice, levels of sugar and sodium are particularly high in the Japanese diet, increasing the risk for throat and stomach cancers. However, the low fat content reduces the risk for Heart disease, Diabetes etc. Younger Japanese are increasingly drawn to Western style food such as Hamburgers, resulting in changed health problems. During two recent visits to Japan during winter, fresh vegetables were rare and very limited fruit varieties were available outside the city centres. It is difficult to find a Western style mixed salad (usually Japanese sald comes as thinly sliced cabbage or iceberg lettuce with very little other ingredients) and I noticed excessive thirst after many restaurant meals due to the high sodium levels in soy flavourings. Dairy products are not used much, although yogurt is easily available.

Answer 2

There are so many people in japan that they are forced to build under ground shopping centers and this causes pollution and there pollution rate is one of the highest in the world. there we go

Answer 3

The main challenge of japan is simple, they have washed out all of their Iron Minerals, meaning they have NO more of these valuable ores left in their ground. (This might've also led to some wars dealing with their desire to take over land and obtain Iron)

Answer 4

Pollution is a very big problem for Japan. Industrial areas affect the water because the factories cause acid rain. The acid rain hits the water making it polluted. Fish die because of the acid rain. People fish a lot in Japan. It also affects the water quality of Japan.Japan has become developed though, as they have many big companies such as Sony, Nintendo, Nissan and Toyota. As these are big companies selling things at high prices they will indeed make a lot of money being able to afford to develop what was ruined by the bomb.Japan also comes up with new technology, like the bullet train and many other designs.

So Japan will always be developed even though of the many problems the country faces including the fact that 70% of the land is mountains.

Though if they get rid of the problems it could turn out to be the best country ever in the world!
