Been watching "shokugeki no soma" aka food wars, and it's amazingly hilarious with "foodgasms", and pretty much does it equally. Also why does seeing insanely toned bodies on tv equal "feel bad" surely some get inspired? And response to prior, I have no idea. Maybe it just bleed over from perceptions of Japanese stuff.
