School lunch

If you want to talk about whaling with ordinary Japanese people peacefully, you should talk about school lunch in Japanese elementary school. For Japanese over 50 years old, whale steak was very major item on school lunch menu and the taste was very bad. At that time the population was increasing sharply, but the yen was weak. It was very difficult to serve beef or pork in school lunch. Instead of that, the Japanese government served whale meat to students in order to get protein. Currently we do not need to eat whale meat, but whaling has continued. Most of the Japanese question the current whaling but they might miss the nostalgic school lunch menu whale steak which was bad taste.
