GACKT Official X update. Translation below
I don’t think this kind of thing used to happen that much, but is it Japan that’s going crazy, or is the whole world going crazy…? I myself don’t really know what’s going on anymore. Aren’t there just too many incidents that can only be described as abnormal? What is it? Aren’t there too many people with broken hearts these days? I think one of the reasons for the increasing abnormality of human behavior is the decline in food quality. Of course, there are also exogenous problems such as stress. [You become what you eat] Everyone knows this. But most people probably don’t realize that what they eat is also affecting their brains, and in this day and age when food is contaminated with pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, additives, genetic engineering, etc., there are so many things that are truly safe that it’s extremely rare, and it’s hard to find anything that’s truly safe. This was shown in the old Future Boy Conan, where there was a machine that turned garbage into food when it was put through it, and I thought that was the very definition of the apocalypse.
It’s frightening that this is happening right now.
Most food companies are trying to turn insects into food, and are nonchalant about using oils that shouldn’t be consumed by humans.
It’s scary how the writings of many manga artists, like Tezuka Osamu, feel like prophecies.
There are particularly many problems with the quality of food in Japan. What is wrong with the way this country is, where we are forced to buy inferior food from America and other countries?
This is something that will come back to haunt us if we don’t face it seriously, right?
Incidentally, eating insects has been around for a long time.
This is a fact that many people know, but there are some species that you shouldn’t eat.
Just be careful not to eat things you shouldn’t without knowing about them.
Do your own research and then choose for yourself what you put in your mouth.
You can’t blame anyone else.
It’s something you chose yourself.
Well, you could say the same thing about other foods.
After all, it’s all a choice you make yourself.
