I just found the post interesting because it appears that the whaling industry in Japan is now starting to target a much younger "audience". I would imagine they are hoping to indoctrinate them at a very young age that eating whale meat is quite normal.

I doubt there is anything abnormal about eating whales. Whales are mammals just like steers and pigs are mammals. Muslims and orthodox Jews frown on pork while hindus frown on beef. Yet we eat those.
Japan has a whole lot of people to feed, 4 times the population of California in a land area 25% smaller than California. And California is the most populous American state. The Japanese have maximized their development of seafood harvesting to feed their tremendous population. They have had little choice. What further amazes me about the Japanese people is that all their exotic culinary delights taste so good.
When the population of California increases by 4 times, we may also be eating whale meat as well and anything else that moves.
If it tastes good, and we are hungry, it won't take much indoctrination.
