The Sept. 20 article "Tainted rice scandal swallows Ota" highlights a few things: • Either regulations cost too much to implement, or company officials really don't care about humanity. • Government food safety and inspection officials are getting paid to do nothing.

Food basics confound government

I found myself getting irate well before I even finished reading the Sept. 17 article "Mikasa Foods sold tainted rice as edible to 370 firms."

When I stayed in the United States, I realized how advanced public transportation is in Japan. But there is one thing about our train system that I am ashamed of: the women-only passenger car.
