Funny, I just got back from stuffing the sushi down for the past 2 hours. The first food I ate was sushi and with a little extra tea or water, it goes down just great! I went to Japan in March and I stuffed myself many times a day. When we landed there it was like my throat started working again and everything tasted great. I even ate a traditional Japanese breakfast and a western breakfast one right after the other at the hotel every morning. Actually, probably 80% of my diet is Japanese, probably got it from my Japanese mother. She saw both bombs from about 80 miles away as a child and used to talk about it a lot and how hard it was to find vegetables for many months. She had cancer first around 18 and died from ovarian cancer. I think there is some connection to the bomb.
