After covering more enjoyable experiences in Japan, both foodie and cultural, some historical tragedies and modern legal system problems are explored, which underscore the need for respect, restorative justice, and more evolved human organizations (Teal). We then delve into some recent articles concerning modern nutrition and dietary advice. As usual, the mainstream content comes with various caveats, because it often overlooks or omits important scientific aspects. For instance, especially when consumed via a low-carb regimen, saturated fat and red meat are actually healthy additions. Yet another documentary was produced about the merits of veganism; Game Changers generated lots of corrective scrutiny by those more scientifically informed. Thinking independently and developing one’s critical faculty can really help us sort fact from fiction. Adults can assist by honoring children’s curiosity and quest for truth, instead of demanding obedience and rewarding mindless conformity.

Question #3. Were you encouraged to think independently, to develop your critical faculty? Or were you taught to be obedient rather than mentally active and questioning? Did your parents project that it was more important to conform to what other people believed than to discover what is true? When your parents wanted you to do something, did they appeal to your understanding and give you reasons for their request? Or did they communicate in effect, “Do it because I say so”?
