I was always surprised how little fruits and vegetables Japanese eat. However, the situation is changing. You could not imagine seeing as many fruits and veggies salads in convenience shops 20 years ago as you are seeing now.

I stopped buying packed veggie juices in Japan because they are packed with sugar. It is hard to find freshly squeezed veg juices also. But supermarkets now store more vegetables welcoming kale and beets. So, making huge bowl of delicious salad is my way out. It is also hard to find unsweetened yoghurt or other “milky” drink, so I stick to no sugar soy milk.

I find this information quite surprising, firstly, because I thought that, like me, the vast majority of East Asians were lactose intolerant; and, secondly, because our rulers do not want us to consume meat (or, therefore, dairy products). They want us to consume more vegetables, all as part of the C02/man-made climate change scam:
