Starting a New Blog

This is the inaugural posting of a new blog I'm starting about how to eat in a healthy way in Japan. For the last three years, I've kept a blog called "Wailing for Whaling." I still post to that blog occasionally, but I have long thought that it is most consistent and least hypocritical to consider it immoral not only to eat those large, beautiful, and intelligent masters of the sea, but also to consume the four-legged grass chompers and our two-legged nearly-flightless friends, not to mention the non-mammalian sea dwellers. Fortunately, what is morally right is also environmentally sound, and nutritionally superior. Is it right to be against whaling but indifferent to the fates of the billions of animals that are brought into the word just for the exploitation of their flesh, mammary secretions, and "packages" intended to nourish a developing embryo (i.e., eggs)? Therefore, this blog will focus on how to eat both healthily and cruelty-free, hungrily and enjoyably...bon appétit!
