Maybe in a volume dedicated to controversial topics, or something. Oishinbo is strange because it spends so much time arguing against pesticides and promoting things like natural, organic farming, then it goes and openly defends whaling. I guess it just shows how Western politics don't map well onto foreign cultures. I know it’ll never happen, but I’d love for Viz to translate the pro-whaling story.

I strongly recommend folks read the nationalist right-wing manga that Schultz of Tokyo Damage report wrote annotated translations for.

Haven't finished reading that volume yet... didn't see this. I'm sure in the next panel he blames the insidious "West" for destroying the entire Japanese way of life with their silly whaling policy.
