Japan's Nuclear Disaster Food Problem: A Satirical Solution

Japanese Agricultural Association asks Government Official A: “Farmers near the nuclear disaster zones can no longer make a living from farming. Please help us think of a solution. We’re all going broke and starving.”

Government Official A: “No problem, just let them keep farming. If there’s something wrong with the crops, we’ll figure something out later. Keep the farmers busy so they don’t come out protesting—we just need to get through this hurdle first.”

The Japanese Agricultural Association and farmers are infinitely grateful to the Japanese government.

Government Official A asks his superior, Official B: “Hell, what do we do now that these crops really are contaminated? We can’t sell them on the market, and we certainly can’t let our own people eat them! Chief, you’ve got to help us figure this out. Otherwise, if we have to destroy this entire harvest, the whole world will discover we have absolutely no idea how to handle this.”

Official B: “You idiot, just sell them to Taiwan.”

Little Tsai and the Little DPP government are infinitely grateful to the great Japanese government.


The above is purely fictional. Any resemblance to reality is definitely due to the government’s recent plans to open Taiwan’s market to food from Japan’s nuclear disaster zones.
