Yes, so what? I can buy Kewpie mayo from Japan down the street. I got a
choice. Most Americans don't have a choice. The difference between you
and I is that I've actually tasted American and Japanese Kewpie, and
therefore, am qualified to make an informed decision on my actions. You
mostly rely on fear and dogma. You're not an expert on the foods that
other people eat - you just pretend that you are.
