I cringe when I read that they will resort to flying french fries from Canada to Japan.

Shame on you McDonald’s from an environmental standpoint.

A shame is how agriculture in Japan isn't cost competitive compared to America.

Problem is, if spending for education and public investments in "future" technology stagnates, well...

To be fair, this was pretty dirty from the BBC. In a good way at least. And who is to say that silicon fries aren't tasty as well.
