    No, they do not use human excrement in farming at all in Japan. Such
    would automatically cause all produce to be marked as unsanitary and
    unfit for consumption.

    Which is sane and laudable.

    I wish they had as protective a policy of seafood harvesting from near
    the Fukushima plant discharge plumes:

    "Japan says the discharge has met international safety standards and is
    being monitored by the International Atomic Energy Agency, adding that
    all past water monitoring data has been publicly available. Japan has criticized China over its seafood ban as unscientific and demanded an
    immediate end to the measure.

    Japan’s government and TEPCO say the discharge of the water stored in hundreds of tanks is necessary for safety reasons and to make space for
    other operations."

    I also question our willingness to "help out" during the ban:

    TOKYO, Oct 30 (Reuters) - The United States has started bulk buying
    Japanese seafood to supply its military there in response to China's ban
    on such products imposed after Tokyo released treated water from its
    crippled Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea.
    Unveiling the initiative in a Reuters interview on Monday, U.S.
    ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel said Washington should also look more
    broadly into how it could help offset China's ban that he said was part
    of its "economic wars".
    China, which had been the biggest buyer of Japanese seafood, says its
    ban is due to food safety fears.
    The U.N.'s nuclear watchdog vouched for the safety of the water release
    that began in August from the plant wrecked by a 2011 tsunami. G7 trade ministers on Sunday called for the immediate repeal of bans on Japanese
    food.
    "It's going to be a long-term contract between the U.S. armed forces and
    the fisheries and co-ops here in Japan," Emanuel said.
    "The best way we have proven in all the instances to kind of wear out
    China's economic coercion is come to the aid and assistance of the
    targeted country or industry," he said."

    There we go, another health-blind Demotard cutting deals that will
    irradiate OUR military members!

    FREAKING MADNESS...
