This is not the fault of America, every human being has a choice of what they wish to eat. That was an ignorant statement Jerry.

Goya is not delicate veggie. You can eat it anyway you want.

Either cook or not cook. Goya is good what ever you way you want to eat it.

Properly cooking it is misconception to Goya.

The truth is those who don’t like the precious bitter taste of Goya is missing the healing power of Goya to diabetes.

So please love Goya if you want to keep yourself from diabetes.

Cook Goya as the way it is. Don’t put salt to lessen the bitter.

The big macs were fine. It was massive bucket of fried chicken and the 3 large cokes that did the deed.

I love these stories. I’m an American. I used to live in Okinawa. I’m not fat.

No one is forcing you to eat that crap! Don’t eat so much of it and you’ll be fine.

Has she done one serious story since coming to Japan…I have yet to see anything except for the “Japan, a contrast of two cultures” kind of BS…

Well, she’s new to the country, can’t speak the language, doesn’t seem to have a clue about serious events (and my understanding of her career in LA before she got sacked was that she was the “token Asian news-reader” who was hired to make KNBC look all “multi-cultural” and everything)…

In other words, she’s a Nova teacher who gets air time and is told what to say.
