...Thottam's report on the Dangers of Chinese Imports, from toys to seafood, takes me back to the 1940s, when Japan had a struggling economy. "Made in Japan" was a byword for inferior products. If economists' predictions prove correct and China progresses similarly, both economically and politically, the world will be a safer place, and the U.S. will be fighting for economic survival.

The pre-cooked convenience store food that usually substitutes at home is a nutritionally inferior substitute, and those dinners on the run promote what Iwamura calls "selfish eating," with each family member consuming alone, rather than together at the dining table.
