Bringin home the bacon…
…whale bacon, that is. 40g for ¥680. Now, I have no qualms with the eat-and-be-eaten nature of our world. We humans are, after all, born from this earth. However, I disagree with the methods used to “legitimize” the sale of whale meat because they violate the spirit of the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling, put in place to protect whale species from annihilation. Furthermore, whale meat has such a high probability of being laden with contaminants (since whales sit at the top of the food chain) that I wonder why anyone would even want to eat it.

Mmmmm. I think the contamination ADDs value. Contamination is just another way to say “fortified.”
