Japan's bombing supermarket shelves and many popular restaurants and things to cover up the food crisis. Ratio of national food self-sufficiency is a dismal 40% "food culture" of the symbol obnoxiously in the outside world without whales, dolphins and bluefin tuna as an endangered species in its own right, compatible with the standard. universal and reality in the ecosystem. Not to mention the explosion of world population growth, along with the standard of living in the emerging countries of origin, the place where the resources are under high stress.What to do? Reduce the complexity of dietary habits and compromise with the norm at that time, if only to avoid a potentially crippling, writer Kaoru Takamura, in Shukan Post (April 9) Advisor.Takamura does not claim expertise in dietetics or ecology. She sums up the evidence in plain sight. Conversation or match shouting between Japan and much of the rest of the world, in Japan's "research" whaling, dolphin hunting and the thirst is not enough for bluefin tuna, regardless of the shares on quickly. is "nowhere says" Takamura.About whales, the world did not buy, do not let the defense of Japan's "food culture" and the whaling years in the ocean south of the cold is really about research, "Japan's production of research data. some science to convince the international community. .

Writes, "that gives me most concern is the food." In 1995, world population is 5.7 billion; 6.9 billion and is now headed for Japan, 9.1 billion by 2050 will even be able to feed themselves, let alone indulge in the devil - May - take care of food culture.
