Miso Hungry

This guy basically has nothing to say. Not about healthy food (obviously), not about Japan (pretty stereotyped). He's not even particularly funny nor talented. He's basically a junk food addicted who needed a pretext to visit Japan and that's really it. The level is pretty low, not sure how this ended up on Netflix.

They idea is simple, we follow Craig in his journey to a healthier lifestyle (via Japan) but it was perfectly executed. And while it is true that this experience is out of reach to some of us, I think this was not the point. The point was to show that it is possible to change and integrate different, healthy but still tasty dietetary alternatives. It is highly inspirational even if everyone's journey will be different.

I wanted to throw something on the tv so randomly chose this. I really enjoyed it. Craig has a very sweet and child like personality. The innocence, excitement, and happiness of a child if that makes sense. He makes you want to root for him. I would love to see more of him on my tv. I'd definitely binge a tv series starring him. Craig, I hope your health journey is still going well. Your positive attitude will help you in many aspects of life.

The only thing I'd like to see more of is a focus on fitness. Even something as simple as yoga twice a week at home. Would be nice to see a follow up documenting his longterm success. It's a lot harder to maintain this lifestyle longterm. Especially without the same food standards in his home town.

If you're thinking of watching it... just do it.

I was interested in this film as I've been curious about Japan, food, and culture for quite some time. Personally, I'd love to take a trip to Japan myself, so I wanted to watch this to see what his experience would be. The host is great and watching him go through Japan is enjoyable.

The guy is actually very likable, something about him is really great. He is not self deprecating, not nagging. There is no drama, that is how it has to be, slowly, painlessly and psychologically comfortable he started to change his life. I hope he stays in good health and enjoys his life!
