from American consumers, <strong>and</strong> may want to think about <strong>and</strong><br />

discuss this new matter. The American’s said, “Sorry, we<br />

can’t wait. The soybeans are coming.” The Europeans felt<br />

upset, like the Americans were trying to shove something<br />

down their throats.<br />

In Canada, the problem is far from resolved. Consumers<br />

in Canada are starting to become aware <strong>of</strong> this issue,<br />

<strong>and</strong> they are just starting to sound the alarm. But more<br />

<strong>and</strong> more genetically modifi ed products are coming onto<br />

store shelves, so Kim believes consumers will gradually<br />

develop confi dence in them–but not in the next 1-2 years.<br />

Kim believes that there is essentially no chance that most<br />

consumers will reject genetically modifi ed foods in the long<br />

run.<br />

The international conference in Canada last September<br />

was attended by about 200 people; there would have been<br />

more but for an airline strike in Canada. Peter Golbitz<br />

presented an excellent keynote address. His paper <strong>and</strong><br />

some others are posted on the OSGMB website. Address:<br />

• Summary: This is a review <strong>of</strong> East Japanese Restaurant<br />

(<strong>1405</strong> Teaneck Rd., Teaneck, New Jersey–a suburb <strong>of</strong> the<br />

New York metropolitan area, just west <strong>of</strong> Manhattan isl<strong>and</strong>,<br />

New York City). The mood was relaxing <strong>and</strong> the sushi<br />

was very good. “Finally the natto roll both surprised <strong>and</strong><br />

perplexed my group. I love soybeans but have never tried<br />

them mixed with scallion in a roll; they are gummy, bl<strong>and</strong>,<br />

salty, satisfying <strong>and</strong> curious all at the same time.”<br />
