Veganism in Japan

-  Japanese have colloquialisms for different types of men

-  Meat eating men are hot tempered and macho

- Vegetarian men are gentle and more interested in cooking and staying at home

- New term: 'Cabbage roll men,' who are soft on the outside, but macho on the inside

- It’s hard to be a vegan, or vegetarian in Japan because they use fish powder and stock in lots of products

- Japan and Korea import a lot of beef from Australia

- Fish is in most dishes

- For example, Kimchi is not vegetarian. It is full of shrimp

- Cooking at home gives you a better understanding of what ingredients are in your food

-  Martina recommends doing a cooking class
