Mengenang Jaman Gaber: Masa Krisis Pangan Tahun 60-an

Perlu dicontoh bagaimana ibu-ibu bangsa Jepang mendidik anak menghargai makanan sejak kecil. Sudah menjadi kebiasaan dalam masyarakat Jepang pada waktu makan, saat makan nasi diambil dan ditaruh dalam mangkuk kecil. Menjadi budaya orang Jepang bahwa makanan yang sudah diambil harus habis. Jadi waktu mengambil disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan.

Cara mendidik anak yang dilakukan ibu-ibu orang Jepang untuk menghargai nasi dimulai saat anak mulai bisa makan sendiri. Nasi yang sudah diambil dalam mangkuk kecil harus habis. Saat hampir akhir makan, masih tersisa butiran nasi yang menempel dalam mangkuk. Anak kecil tentu tidak bisa mengambilnya pakai sumpit. Kemudian si ibu mengajarinya dengan cara mencelupkan sumpit pada kuah. Nasi yang menempel lekat dengan mangkuk jadi mudah diambil dengan sumpit.

  2. Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long)
    so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and
    say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything.
    Do you have any points for beginner blog writers?
    I’d really appreciate it.

  3. Hiya! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your
    site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when viewing from

  5. Howdy, There’s no doubt that your site may be having browser compatibility problems.

    Whenever I take a look at your web site in Safari,
    it looks fine but when opening in I.E., it has
    some overlapping issues. I simply wanted to give you a quick heads up!
    Besides that, great site!

  6. Good day! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from
    an established blog. Is it hard to set up your own blog?
    I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick.

  8. Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets
    I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.

    hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this.
