What are any two trends that may be pushing people from Okinawa towards eating more fast foods?
If the cost of living is increasing, all of the adults in the household may have to work outside the home. This leaves less time for preparing home cooked meals or for shopping for the most nutritious foods. Also if fast food places become part of the "landscape", they may not be perceived as being a problem for their overall health. They will be seen as another option for meals in addition to traditional, home cooked meals.
