The rising stars can walk proudly with giants

No excuse for wasting food stocks

I agree with the March 24 editorial "Japan must change tune on tuna." A few years ago a sushi bar in Osaka boasted on television about the "freshness" of its sushi.

Limits needed on child allowance

The March 18 article "Residency requirement eyed for child allowance" made me realize that something is wrong [with the plan to pay families ¥13,000 per month for each child of junior high school age or younger].
