dogdog has it about right. the powers that be decided to base the japanese economy (and hence their own profits)on a value added industrial base. This involved moving the population from the countryside to the cities. They then chose to base their agricultural policy on one single product, rice. Japan has ample space and a benign climate to produce most of its food, but that won't happen till the zaibatsu can make it so they make huge profits.

I remain skeptical of the attempt to blame foreign food.... the japanese businesses and governmint depts have created the current situation. I and all my neighbors grow far more food than we can eat,.. so much is left to rot in garden. Japan could grow a lot more animals, but prefer to grow cedar.

Actually there is a high probability that most of the people lining up have no idea what they were lining up for. The Japanese automatically join any line they see. It's in their DNA

Japanese society has a strict awareness against ganja, but amphetamine use is widespread and always has been since it was legal after WW2.
