...ever go to therapy for your eating issues? No, I never did. When I was behaving badly - throwing up meals, taking amphetamines to control my appetite - I was always able to cut the behavior off on my own. I developed this belief that I was O.K. because I could pull myself back from the brink. I might not have ended up as heavy and miserable as I was in my mid-30s if I had dealt with all these issues earlier...
Fried chicken? Really? People were more flush with money and into the no-carbohydrate zone five years ago; that was when sushi was around. Now we're in a down economy, when people go out they eat to fill up. Even people who have money don't want to spend as much. Restaurateurs want to serve food they can keep below a certain price point. So it's fried chicken served by restaurants that don't normally do fried chicken...
...fake names and disguises you used to avoid detection in restaurants, and yet you seemed to get recognized all the time. Sam Sifton is your successor and his photo is already on the Internet.

Then Hatoyama called President Barack Obama and told him that of course - of course! - the alliance was the bedrock of Japanese foreign policy, and everyone relaxed. Picking on the U.S., it seemed, was just an election gambit by which Hatoyama's Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) distanced itself from...
...stressed that the U.S.-Japan alliance is "the most important relationship for Japan." At the same time, Ozawa insisted that in "global disputes," Japan should take a "U.N.-approach." "When it comes to an exercise of power by the U.S. alone," Ozawa said, "then Japan is not able to go along." Within a U.N framework of dispute resolution, however, "Japan should be proactive in rendering support." Ozawa said that this position was "starkly different" from that taken by the LDP. He really could not have been clearer that a DPJ government would mean a new line on foreign policy...
