Thank you for the great article on SAKE. I am third generation Japanese American not very adept in the Japanese language. You ended with the toast KAMPAI. When I did try to take some language courses in the US, I found out that what I learned may have been a bit time-locked from before WWII. Before the War, the toast was BANZAI. General MacArthur made it illegal to use that toast in Occupied Japan, and that was accepted. When occasional Japanese nationals came to the US and heard Japanese Americans still use that pharase, they were shocked. I understand that this may be coming back, but does go against the grain of civilized behavior.
I just discovered Nutrition Watchdog last week and found the topics covered to be highly salient. I have been an advocate of improved health literacy, particularly at the K-12 level, but see little organized effort to improve things. It amazes me that after almost three years of the pandemic that most people are still unable to give a reasonably correct definition of a virus. We have missed a golden teaching window.
