まだ間に合います

ブログ主は平日月曜から金曜まで肉は摂らない。

土日に肉や魚を摂る。　玄米食にはまだ至らない。

病院の飯もよく食べる機会があるのだが、栄養士さんの工夫は随所に見られるのけど、何しろ考え方が戦後に凝り固まっている感じがする。介護施設もそれに準ずるだろう。

ブログ主がお世話になる頃には変わっていてほしいが。

以下、宮崎正弘の国際政治改題　読者の声より

アメリカの癌による死亡率は1991年をピークに下がり続け、2018年までの27年間で31％も低下したといいます。日米の癌による死亡率は1990年代半ばに逆転し、現在、日本の10万人当たりの癌による死亡率はアメリカの約1.6倍！アメリカ以外の先進国でも癌による死亡率は低下傾向にあるようです。その理由は、75年前の日本とは逆で、欧米人の肉・牛乳離れが進んでいるからです。

GHQ政策と逆に、学校給食の米飯化を図るべきだったのです。勿論、憲法問題同様、後知恵ですが。
でも、まだ間に合います。
　文部科学省がすぐにこのような政策を打ち出すとは思えませんが、草の根(市町村)レベルではとっくに始まっています。まだ白米が中心でしょうが、玄米給食用の米の品種改良も進んでいるようです。

病院や介護施設での導入も望ましいのですが、アメリカでマクガバン報告書やチャイナスタディが発表されたとき、もっとも激しく反発したのが医療・製薬・食品業界であったことを思うと、時間はかかるでしょうね。

The blogger does not take meat from Monday to Friday during the week.

He takes meat and fish on Saturdays and Sundays.　He has not yet reached a brown rice diet.

I often have the opportunity to eat hospital food, and although I can see the ingenuity of the nutritionists everywhere, I feel that the way of thinking is still very much stuck in the postwar period. Nursing homes are probably no different.

I hope things will have changed by the time the blogger takes care of them.

The following is from Masahiro Miyazaki's International Politics, a reader's voice.

The U.S. death rate from cancer peaked in 1991 and has continued to decline, dropping 31% in the 27 years through 2018. The cancer death rates in Japan and the U.S. reversed in the mid-1990s, and now Japan's cancer death rate per 100,000 people is about 1.6 times that of the U.S.! Even in developed countries other than the U.S., the death rate from cancer seems to be on the decline. The reason for this is that, contrary to Japan 75 years ago, Westerners are shifting away from meat and milk.

Contrary to the GHQ policy, we should have tried to switch to rice for school lunches. Of course, like the constitutional issue, this is hindsight.
But it is not too late.
　It is unlikely that the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) will soon come up with such a policy, but it has already begun at the grass-roots (municipal) level. Although the focus is still mainly on white rice, it seems that breeding of rice varieties for brown rice school lunches is also underway.

It would be desirable to introduce this policy in hospitals and nursing homes, but it will take time, considering that the medical, pharmaceutical, and food industries were the most vociferous opponents when the McGovern Report and the China Study were released in the United States.
