Hiro and Hank - Why Japanese are skinny and Americans are not

For those who don't know me, I am half-Japanese and half-not (white). Due to my mixed (mutt) background I have been exposed to both Japanese and American cultures. From years of "research" I have concluded that Japanese people are skinnier than American people. I know it's a far-fetched conclusion to make, but I feel it's my duty as a cross-cultural ambassador to educate the world on my findings. I've decided to start a series called "Hiro and Hank" exploring the reasons why Japanese people are skinnier then Americans. Thanks go out to Archie for illustrating the H&H series.
