A friend of mine is quite overweight and she said that there is a lot of prejudice in Japan toward obesity. She said a Japanese man actually yelled at her about it. I want to teach in Japan and have 25 years of teaching experience, but I, too, am about 70 pounds overweight. I know this sounds like a strange question, but is there more of a prejudice toward body type in Japan, than in most countries? Is it worse in Japan than here in the USA?
