I was in Japan regularly and in years-at-a-time stretches from 1968 to 2003. I was a student there and i taught in Japanese schools. I have a pretty good idea of what's happening there. But you can always look at the stats if you don't believe me.
The trends are:
More cars, more streets
Fewer open spaces
Even more TV
Home computers & computer gaming
More wheat
More sugar
More fats
More meat
Less variety in veggies
More processed foods
