Hmm. Okay. I'm guessing d. Unless its c. Okay, d. Final guess.
D sounds good to me.
Yup, it looks like D to me but it might be A as well. I can't imagine the caloric intake is so different. In Japan they eat lots of vegetables but they also like fried foods and oils. The difference is that they have more activity there than in the US. I think that all the exercise and adding all that fiber to food makes a difference.
Ah, lets be original and say A.
