Japanese dietician Asako Aramaki is concerned that Japan will no longer enjoy the world's longest life expectancy due to the increasing consumption of Western-style foods. He calls those who rarely use chopsticks and eat foods such as pizza, hamburgers, and fried chicken with their hands "hashi-nashi zoku," or the chopstick-less tribe. He claims that studies show that this group suffers from low blood-sugar and other health problems, whereas those who use chopsticks tend to be healthier due to a more nutritious diet. It is important to note that Western-style fast food in Japan is often adapted to suit Japanese tastes. For example, McDonald's menus in Japan boast the Teriyaki Burger and Chicken Tatsuta. Similarly, Domino's reports that a popular pizza topping in Japan is the tuna, scallop, and squid combo.
