I was confused until I read the "Asian Americans" part.

I rightly or wrongly perceive Japan as an example where tradition/culture helps to protect the health of the population by standing as a solid (but creaking) barrier to the kind of commercial food enterprises that infest the western world.

I used to go on family holidays as a kid to southern France, Spain, Portugal and Italy and felt a sort of vague impending doom years later when going back and seeing families flocking to McDonalds instead of the friendly well run and affordable cafes and restaurants I remembered many that had closed down or in one case replaced with a monstrosity of a shopping complex swallowing the whole block. I guess it was the tried and tested template of weakening individuals and strengthening corporations at work.

You're right on about the decline of Western diets. Corporations took over after WWII with packaged, overprocessed foods and never stopped. Combine the cheap, accessible "food" with an overworked/overstimulated society and everyone's on the way to being the human characters in WallE. Of course we could add the curse of the Internet, videogames and Rock n' Roll to get the discourse really going.
