Sushi.

I LOVE sushi. What can I say? It's some of the greatest stuff in this world! I could seriously eat it all day long, nonstop.

So why then do so many other kids detest the stuff? The ingredients themselves are not that bizarre, and you can get so many different combinations! I don't get it. Rice, sea weed, avocado, cucumber, sometimes carrot, sometimes crab, sometimes raw fish, sometimes shrimp...and the list goes on.

Well, the reason so many kids don't like it is because it is not American. And there seems to be a belief out there that sushi is only sushi when it has raw tuna in it. Well guess what, there is such thing as a vegetarian roll, or a roll with other stuff that a lot of kids would be surprised to discover that they actually liked! Sushi can come in a HUGE variety of tastes and combinations. It's great! So kids need to buck up their courage and actually go to sushi bars with my two only friends who will eat the stuff (I think) and myself. We get lonely going to those sorts of places with just the three of us!

Wake up America and try something a little different.
