No thank you. I have lived in Japan almost 10 years and refuse to eat it as well as whale. I'll stick to beef, pork, chicken and fish...I don't need to eat every breathing thing and I'll pay respect to the animal that helped pioneer our country going out to the west coast. I've also lived in Korea and refused to eat dog as well...I'm an adventurous eater but there are some things I show respect to but that is what is great about being able to make the choice.
