It was a relief that the ban for bluefin tuna was rejected at a vote of U.N meeting. The total consumption of Tuna in Japan has been flattened off for these 5 years. The reason of the rapid growth of the Tuna consumption is not because of Japanese, but because of the increase of the numbers of the countries that newly started eating Tuna fish. Actually, the one who bought Tuna with the highest price in the market at the beginning of this year is a Chinese trader.
My wife told me.
"Look at the nuclear weapons. The countries who owned the weapons keep possessing them, while newcomers are banned to possess them. If we ban the Tuna fishing, we should follow this rule. Disappearing Tuna from our dishes is like disappearing beef from American dishes. Eating Tuna is tradition and culture for Japan started before Christ was born. (Yes, this is true.) So, countries newly started eating Tuna should be banned the consumption in the first place."
She is so convincing.
