I don't think I buy the diet thing at all.

In the US, it's commonplace for people to "get a tan" and people in general are not as protective over sun with the use of sunscreen or long sleeves/pants.

In many Asian countries, whiter skin is more desirable. People are a lot more diligent in wearing long sleeves and pants when spending time in the sun and etc.

The sun will age you a LOT.
