phalange:
I’m seeing a lot of concern and/or sadness from people who do not have the privilege of dropping what they are doing and running out to their local occupation. You shouldn’t feel bad about this! It is perfectly understandable that people have jobs, class schedules, families, and…

DO:
Eat the food. Sushi, kalua pig, edamame, tofu, lomi salmon, all of it’s a great way to experience the culture. They’re good foods, and you shouldn’t feel guilty for liking them.
