Same way, no one with common sense would eat hamburger and french fries every day.

It is about the salt only, or is there something else? I'm curious because ramen sounds like something that should be healthy.
The layer of oil floating over the stock, the corn, the pork and the butter topping doesn't help neither.
If you want healthy noodles, you can try Soba instead.

Well, Ramen is really tasty, but obviously it is junk food. Really nice as a threat, but no one with common sense would eat Ramen on a daily basis. Same way, no one with common sense would eat hamburger and french fries every day.
Doesn't that depends on how you prepare ramen ?
For me ramen are just noodles, the "junkyness" really depends on what you eat them with. Could you make the same argument for spaghettis ?

#35Is there any type of Ramen that doesn't use Pork?? I wouldn't want to miss out on Ramen just because i dont eat Pork.
There's many kinds of ramen. Pork is one of the most common. There's chicken ramen. There's salt ramen. There's soy sauce ramen. There's miso ramen. And there's every combination. Soy+Miso+Chicken, Chicken+Pork, Pork+Sardine+Miso, Salt+Shrimp+Pork, Tomato, Cheese :P You will find it hard to know for sure if there's no pork though because even if it's labeled salt-ramen if you look at the details it might say made wit…

#36I remember being in Fukuoka and visiting the so called "ramen stadium" at the top of some shopping complex. More varieties than you could poke a stick at, and all purchasable via ticket machine only. I ended up getting some random thing that had pork, and what appeared to be quail eggs in a black broth. I can see why they like their ramen.
There's a similar one in Kyoto at the JR Rail station that is very nice with 8 styles of ramen, all in different little sit down restaurants with ticket machines: http://www.insidekyoto.com/kyoto-ramen-koji
Fukuoka also has food stalls with plenty of good ramen if someone is heading there
