I'm not sure exactly how much seaweed they eat because on my chart they lump dairy and seaweed together as "calcium-rich foods."
Those two together make up 2% of their diet, by weight.

To get a better idea of their total lifestyle, I would suggest you pick up a copy of the book: "The Okinawa Program: How The World's Longest-Lived People Achieve Everlasting Health-And How You Can Too". Ask for the latest edition.
