Natto Scandal!

One of our kaiwa students told us how she watched an infotainment show lauding natto. This show claimed that eating natto twice a day would help dieters lose weight, as well as just giving your body lots of helpful nutrients. She was so convinced to increase her natto intake that the very next day she went out to buy some. And all the stores were out! ALL of them!

Later that week the TV producers of this show owned up to fabricating info on this natto diet.

I feel for all the poor people who actually ingested this stuff.
