Japan promotes whale meat as cure for fatigue 
1 hour ago by Tokyo Times in National
(excerpt)
Japan’s Institute for Cetacean Research (ICR) has launched a new campaign in order to increase whale meat sales. The meat is promoted as a nutritious food that reduces fatigue and increases physical strength.
The country has at the moment around 5,000 tonnes of whale meat sitting unsold in supermarkets’ freezers, so ICR has decided to launch a campaign that would promote the product of its so-called scientific whaling program.
Years ago, whale meat used to be popular in school lunches, but now younger generations barely eat whale.
