白人も牛を食ってるだろう！

11月2日(金)快晴

農耕だけでは動物性蛋白が摂取できません。麦やバナナを作る民は家畜を飼いましたが、米を作る民は漁労狩猟を続けました。明治以前の日本人は四つ足を食べなかったというのは誤り。牛馬など家畜は食べませんが、ウサギ、タヌキ、サギ、雀、イナゴなど、足の数には関係なく野生動物は何でも捕食しました。鯨も捕食する日本人から狩猟民族呼ばわりされる白人は首を傾げます。（photo by 酔鯨亭）

捕鯨は日本の食文化？

White people must be eating beef!
Fri. November 2 : fine

You can’t take in any animal protein if you rely on only agriculture. People who cultivate wheat or banana kept cattle. On the other hand, those who cultivate rice kept fishing and hunting. It isn’t true that Japanese living earlier than Meiji era never eat animals. They didn’t eat cattle such as oxen or horses but they caught all kinds of wild animals such as rabbits, raccoons, herons, sparrows, and crickets. Western people are puzzled by Japanese who eat whales and call them hunting people.

Is whale fishing Japanese culture？
