I am going to start by doing a small writeup of my own experiences in Japanese. This should allow me to elucidate myself better if asked. I hope to one day be as well spoken as Dr Mason or Dr Chaffee, (or even Dr Kay? haha) but this will be a start at least. Plus I could always use the practice!

Yes, this is one of the great things about Japan, although usage of industrially refined oils is on the uptrend, particularly rice bran. Also I've noticed more metabolically unhealthy people walking around. I would love to help friends here find out more about metabolic health but don't know how to start. Most resources only exist in English !

Preferences are fair enough! There's no accounting for taste.

I also think social norms are also important to consider. Pufferfish is a delicacy here, and I won't turn it down if it's offered at a social event. It's just not polite. Likewise, I won't refuse a cup of alcohol, since here it signals a lack of willingness to be open and friendly. We don't live in isolation.
