The things that I know about farming in my country and my favorite food by Andy.

In Japan, we are facing the strange problems about farming.  We have never trouble to find and eat food everyday. But the quantity of  food production in Japan are very low. In other words,self-sufficiency rate are very low.

How did cause the strange to happen? There are several factors to do that.
I explain about a mainl factor.Japanese young people are unwilling to work as farmer. This is because though they will be forced to do extremely, they have some risk.
For example, weather like disaster and cold-weather makes the crops spoiled. And also a market economy make the price of the crops. these farmers can't secure steady income. Because the young dislike to hate the farm, self-sufficiency rate are very low.

The principal food of the Japanese is rice, you know. Though a lot of Americans misunderstand the taste of rice, there is a reason. This is because Amercan rice is very different from Japanese one, so Japanese one is so delicious.And I like sushi. It is so simple. Put a raw fish like salmon or tuna on the rice.

The things I learn from Gingue Brothers Dairy facebook pages by Andy

When I watched the site, I found out a interesting article.

Anyone know what day it is? The obvious answer is July 12, 2013 but did you know it is also Cow Appreciation Day! Which is everyday for us since we pride ourselves in taking such good care of our girls! If you see a cow today give her a wave!

As Christien said, these farmers used the cow as the way to do bussiness. So, some people says that the animals are treated cruelly there. the cows should be free to go everywhere. But a domestic animals like the cows, can't live without people's help. And also we people need the milk that the cows produce. For exaple, when we make cheese and butter,yogurt ,cream and ice cream, we use milk A lot of food we eat comes from the cows.  In other words, We are dependent on each other to live. In addition, instead of  treat cruelly the cows , they treat them like their daughters.
 
In short, I learn five things from the page.
1, there is a day for appreciation of cow.
2,They don't abuse the cows.
3, the cows aren'y independent.
4, we need what the cow produce to live.
5,they love the cows like their daughters.

Committee on the shelterless by Andy










When I was junior high school student,
I had have been to a group of homeless like COTS.
At that time, I was impressed by the place which is so dirty. And they looked like less energetic. In Japan, some people regard homeless as  the people who can't be independent and do exploit the tax which the nation paid. But the way to think like that is wrong. This is because the unemployed and the homeless can be turned into the workforce of the society.In other words, We waste the workforce. Compared with Japanese situation, I think that the homeless is made much of by the committee when I visit the Committee on Temporary Shelter. For example, the committee supplies them with not only their home but also the chance to work.And they can use the facilities for free! Japanese government should help such committee to act in Japan instead of spending a lot of money in unemployment insurance. Such committee must do everything about the problem of homeless better than the bureaucracy.
