A fat Japanese on TV...

Oh, that's wicked. This guy is a gourmet foods buyer -- so he's going to visit farms and such, then to restaurants and other users of the products he buys, and of course, everyone feeds him. So he is definitely plump.
( Have you tried wine pork? )

Weird and wonderful. I didn't even know there were gourmet food buyers, nor would I have known what his job was. Run around trying out gourmet foods? It actually sounds like a rough job, because even though the perks of the job are tasty, trying to outguess the gourmet foods market must be difficult. And if you buy a half-ton of wine pork and no one wants it because they're dieting this week -- food spoils.
