WE'RE STARVING OVER HERE, PASS SOME OF THAT WHALE WILLYA?

Despite the increasing problem of obesity in Japan, the Japanese are not getting fat on whale. The amount of whale meat the Japanese consume has become infinitessimal compared to the amount of pork, chicken and beef whose provenance and purity I won't even go into that they eat therefore they are, so the whole Japan whaling tradition argument should be in a wax museum somewhere. Bottom line is, the whalers used to whale for profit, and they want to keep doing so. And when profit is the motive, as any gold vein, rain forest or buffalo knows, profiteers will seek profit until it's all been dug up, cut down or killed. Genuine spirit-based traditions would never brought us to the brink we're at today. But then we don't have any of those left, do we. Can't take them to the bank. Eco-integrity vs. profit? No contest. Want another whale cutlet? Maybe you haven't seen this.
