| Abstruct | During the Allied Occupation of Japan (1945–52), whales became entangled in state policies dealing with food shortages and democratization. At this time, American policy-makers supported the revitalization of the whaling industry and distribution of whale meat in school lunches, which shifted how people should use and think about whales in Japan. American concern about food shortages both during and after the war were instrumental in promoting widespread whale consumption, by fitting whale meat into a new framework of distribution for a generation of children fed whale at school. |
