I like many things in Japanese culture quite a lot, and while I overall am a lacto-ovo vegetarian, I do still eat fish at some occasions... however, I have never eaten sushi, and I can't see that I ever will, regardless how tasty it maybe could be. Did you know that if you count all the birds present by a regular body of water, and all the fish and other, regular animals in it (including snails, I guess), the present bacteria, plankton, bugs, worms and countless parasites in the body of water amount to more in mass than the regular animals and birds, all together. There must just be so many living bugs and parasites in sushi, since it's raw. :/ I do NOT want to get any brain worms so I say no thank you to it. -_-
