ARAI said

In our primal school days (almost 40 years before) in Japan
We had school lunch which were breads and powdered skimmed milk and some dishes. And I had eaten neither bread nor milk at home. We ate rice and miso soup there. The bread were made by expired flour of USA and the powdered skimmed milk were made by expired milk of USA which are the food of livestock in USA. USA gov't sold them Japan gov't. So we were familiar with bread and milk. Sometimes I asked my mother to buy bread and milk. But She said that they were too expensive to buy for us.

Also I like Coca-cola very much but I only could got it once or twice for the year. When our relatives visited us at new year or some festival, they gave me small money and I ran to buy Coca-cola. My parents asked me why I like Coca-cola taste like medicines and it is very expensive!

That day in TV spots every day sung "DEL MONTE tomato ketchup" song. We happily sung "DEL MONTE tomato ketchup" song without knowing what is the ketchup. After I liked ketchup very much so every foods I used ketchup. But my parents never used it.

My home town is very country side so 40 years before around my house were almost all rice field and some gas station. But nowadays there are no rice fields but are McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, 24 hr open convenience store like "Seven-Eleven", and USA style road side restaurant.

My father who died last year liked Kentucky Fried Chicken very much in his last years.
He also liked Japanese sake very much and drunk sake and ate Kentucky Fried Chicken.
He drunk sake with Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Now my mother lives alone my home town. She told me that she sometimes dose not like to make her meal so she buy breads and milk at convenience store "Seven-Eleven" for her lonely dinner.

ex-Manchukuo slogan by Japan



Eating McDonald's and Kentucky, Shouting "VIVA Globalism!"
At last adding  a word  "Spurious" to "Glabalism" and "Manchukuo"
