Eat well.

For those who feel terrible about Japanese eating whale, try to watch this British program.

Could you eat an elephant?

You will learn so many creatures are eaten in several countries.


All look terrible to those who aren't in the culture, including myself in, oaky, the famous whale eating country. However, people who actually live there have certain reasons of eating those things. If you watch it, you wouldn't even think about making some noise on those issues.
What I learned from this program is that:

Too much impact can blow away our common sense or justice or anything.

It's like:

"Oooookay, you eat them, and I don't."

That's pretty much it.


What I liked the program is that they showed local people's comments of why they eat cobra, maggots in cheese, mashed jewelry beetle, elephant and more more more... Each of them don't look like they feel guilty or they are against anything. Well balanced. It may be a food channel program, but I think it's made journalistically.


I haven't eaten whale before, but I think if it's eaten for many years, we don't have to feel guilty about our culture.

But Japanese are too passive against any criticism even against those who unjounalistically poked them to make little money out of it.


This is my simple opinion:

French people eat rabbit.

Rabbit is cute enough and close enough as a pet to me.

But my reaction is the same as above.

Okay, you eat them and I don't.


That's it.
