The list of the food that I eat almost everyday.
The primary producer
- Brown rice
- Seaweed (sulted, dried,,,,etc)
- Miso (w/ soy beans, sult, sake lees)
- vegetables (especially spinach, carrots, avocados and tomatos)
- Tofu (processed beans)
The primary consumer
- Eggs,
- Little fish
- Chicken
The secondary consumer
None
The tertiary consumer
None
As you can see from the above, I don't eat the secondary and tertiary consumer as a diet. This has two reasons that I found by examining my health. After I eat pizza or any other greasy meat that are in upper trophic level, I feel sick in my stomach because it too much work for my stomach to digest heavy meat, and also just because I've grown up with Japanese food which doesn't have greasy meat dishes, so my body don't get used to absorb it.
However, I heavily rely on Japanese food implies that I need outside sources to get what I want rather than try the local foods and adapt my diet. The benefit of buying locally distributed products is that it doen't have longer process in other wars, cut shipping, tracking and straging process and its cost. My salted seaweed that I bought "Nama-wakame" is imported by JFC international inc., and produced by Korea. It's shipped directry from Korea to Seattle. But my Miso "Hikari Miso" is sent from Japan first off to L.A. where the JFC head quarter is at. The ploblem with this mass production is that concentrating the needs from not only inside the country but also outside of country to the local farmers, so the farmers have to fertilize their seaweeds and beans, They put emphasis on great inprovement of sharing ethnic food and emarging cultural diversity. But we have to remind ourselves that more economy demand we have distruct more nature that can't be fixed right away.
