What kind of wonky article is that please?

So, yoghurt deliveries will fix the loneliness problem in Japan? Seriously? Are the people at BBC drunk?

You only need to watch some youtube videos to realise that what BBC writes, is narrating things very oddly. Yoghurt deliveries will NOT fix the issue of isolated people. Japan's culture is also very unique, but this is still a somewhat more global issue; South Korea is in a somewhat comparable situation, for instance. A lot of this ties into work culture, too; in Japan even more than in South Korea.
