I like to think not, mate, but you never know.... I'd still like to know more about the type of "research" the Japs do that requires thousands of tons of whales...beyond the obvious culinary one...and, sure, the demand for whale meat may have dropped,but some still do eat it..... The rest eat junk food, which is obvious from the amount of body fat on the current generation, compared to the previous. Saw some awesome little "Michelin Men" and "Michelin Women" among Japanese tourists in Hawaii...
