Whale Flesh or Beef
The most important areas of human activities are related to foods (agriculture, fishing, etc.), medical care, housing, clothing, education, religious activities, and so on.
But the Gospels most impressively depict Jesus eating or being related to foods.
U.S. Places 21st in Ranking of World Food Systems
BY JAMES ANDREWS | JANUARY 15, 2014
Despite affordable prices and high food quality, the United States tied with Japan for 21st place in a ranking of the world’s food systems, according to the international advocacy confederation Oxfam.
The report, released Tuesday evening, judged the food systems of 125 countries according to four major metrics: food quality, abundance of food, affordability of food and eating habits of citizens.
High diabetes and obesity rates in the U.S. brought down the nation's score, ranking it just behind 20 European countries and Australia.
The top 25 overall scores are listed below:
1. Netherlands
2. France and Switzerland (two-way tie)
4. Denmark, Sweden, Austria and Belgium (four-way tie)
8. Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Luxembourg and Australia (five-way tie)
13. Spain, Greece, Germany, United Kingdom, Norway, Finland, Cyprus and Iceland (eight-way tie)
21. United States and Japan (two-way tie)
23. New Zealand and Israel (two-way tie)
25. Canada, Brazil, Estonia, Slovakia and Hungary (five-way tie)

USA - 130%
JAPAN - 40%
That is why Japanese have to eat whale flesh, if it has become too poor to buy and import beef from the US.
Whale for Japanese are originally the same as cows for Americans.
