Hello from Inside!

First of all, let Insider mention that today, January 17, marks the 17th anniversary of the Great Hanshin Earthquake.  Being the first Hanshin anniversary since the Great East Japan Earthquake, many people, including Insider, spent the day with a different mind-setting from the previous anniversaries.  Once again, Insider’s heart goes out to the ones who tragically lost their lives in the two devastating disasters…

It’s a little embarrassing to continue this diary with a totally different subject; in Japan, many books of very nutritional recipes are selling like pancakes (a food metaphor!).  Some of them were written by people at a famous weight scale manufacturer, women’s university, etc.  The boom even generated a ‘nutritional restaurant’ in Tokyo.  Come to think of it, Japanese have always been nutrition-conscious people, which adds to the acceleration of the boom, while some people are too conscious about losing weight and do not care about nutrition at all. 

Thus Insider decided to feature the following contents, focusing on nutrition:

“Yikes” sounds casual but it’s a very serious lecture.  It kinds of summarizes the aforementioned three.  If you don’t have time, perhaps it’s good to listen to just this one.

Insider also recommends to those who have time, revisit the Insider’s Diary dated November 17, 2011.
