This afternoon I had a chance to talk to Wanjoo, the owner of Margarita's Burritos and BBQ. When I told him that we are planning to put more veggie dishes on our menu, he said that is exactly what he is planning for Margarita's.
I love to have good meat. Though having too much meat is not for health. And it is not good for the environment as well. That was what Wanjoo claiming. All the resources on the earth are limited. And everything on this small island too. We have to build up a sustainable society.

As you know, Japanese food is not too greasy nor meaty. Basically it is good for health. But I think there's more we can do to make our island and earth better.
I don't want to force my customers veggie menus. But I want to leave a choice for those who are seriously thinking about the earth. You can even find a Guam Vegan website. http://guamvegan.blogspot.com/2010/05/aji-ichi.html
And I'm not the only one. Wanjoo and some other restaurant as Simply Food, Healthy Hearts are also thinking about the earth and the island.
I'm pretty sure that Guam would become better as long as there are so many people selfless people thinking for Guam.
Guam will be better and better!!
Oh, by the way, our new veggie dishes are so good. Just stay tuned!!
グアムは日本に比べるとまだ環境意識は低い。
それでも徐々に状況は変わりつつはある。
今日マルガリータス（http://blog.arukikata.co.jp/tokuhain/guam/2010/05/post_170.html）のオーナーのWanjoo氏と話す機会があって「今味一ではベジタリアンメニューを充実させようと思っているんだよね」と言ったところ、彼も「実はうちも同じこと考えているんだ」と食いついてきました。
Wanjoo曰く、「肉の食べ過ぎは健康に悪いだけじゃなくて、そもそも肉牛を育てること自体がなによりも環境によくないんだよ」と。
そう、グアムは健康意識だけじゃなくて、環境意識も確実に高まりつつあります。
やっぱり「南の島」というとピースフルであって欲しいと思うと思うけれども、太平洋の多くの島ではゴミを中心に環境は潜在的に大きな問題になりつつあるんですよ。
ひとつのレストランができることは少ないかも知れないけれども、こういう問題意識を共有し続けたら、絶対社会全体がよくなっていきますよね。
グアムを南太平洋の環境モデルケースにできたらいいですよね。
がんばります。
あっ、味一のベジタリアンメニュー、健康にいいだけじゃなくてかなり美味しい自信作なんで、乞うご期待！！
