Hello :)
Today, I will write about my vegetarian day,as you know.
First of all, I want you to introduce what I ate on my vegetarian day.
In the morning,I ate Salad and bread and coffee.
At the lunch,I tried to eat Lapaz with my friends,but I am not sure that there is a vegetarian menu(maybe no),so I cooked by myself and ate at my home.
I ate cold noodle. It includes vegetables.
In the night,I ate vegetables soup and rice.
After finishing my vegetarian day,I thought it is very difficult for me because of course I can't eat meat and it is difficult to eat with someone.
Japanese have tend to care about others and sympathize with others.
So,if I eat out with that person,I try to find the restaurant wich have a vegetarian menu or canremove meat from the original menu.
(Maybe including me,Japanese people don't know about vegetarian,so we can't come up with making vegetarian menu at the restaurant.)
If one of my freind is a vegetarian, I am not vegetarian,I would feel sorry because
in Japan, there are not so many vegetarian menu at the restaurant.
I think vegetarian are difficult to eat in Japan,especially if they are business person because in the Japanese style,business person have lots of chance to eat out with co-worker or boss at the lunsh or after finishing work,they may go to pub.
By the Japanese habit,they try to sympathize with others,especially boss.
Sometimes,they have a business by eating or drinking alcohol.
If they can't eat some food,they would ask
why dontou eat or drink becasue there are not so many vegetarian in Japan.
In my case, when I went to Canada for study abroad,my host family are vegetarian.
(no meat and ok eggs and fish)
However,my room mate like to eat chiken,so they cared about us,they made menu includes meat.But,they didn't eat anything foods includes meat.
As that time,I really surprised and did't know why they don't eat meat.
However,I didn't know whether I can ask them why your family are vegetarian or not,
so I couldnt ask them about that.
But now I know why they are vegetarian bu studying this class.
They want to protect animal rights,because of the religion.
Recently,I found the article about protect animal riths in China.
In china,there is a habit to eat dogs,as you know.
However,recently,many people try to protect animal rights and they want to
ban killing dogs for eat.
And,one of food business,to have a vegetarian menu is important,I think.
In India,it is said that there are lots of big food business chance because India have lots of population.
So,some of the restaurant change the menu for vegetarian.
Therefore,they have to think about vegetarian at the food business company especially
which want to open business in other countries like a India.
I thought why there are not so many vegetarian in Japan,
it is one of the reason that we tend not to have any religion strictly.
I also think it is hard to be vegetarian in Japan. Inside of house, we could be but once we go out, we have many problems. In addition to this, there is economic problem too if many Japanese is going to be vegetarian, e.g many restaurant should change a system and manu. It cost too much innit? We Japanese should know other cultures in order to care and respect others :)
