That's better, or possibly butter

there's a big butter shortage in japan

Is there now? Maybe they should use less butter

it would seem so.

Well they should use less butter

yes, it would seem so.

What proportion of people in Japan do you reckon are addicted to butter?

zero, i reckon

No addiction? Just heavy use?

not necessarily even that.

Then why are they using more butter than they have available? It's a rich country.

they were making too much milk so they got rid of a lot of cows.

That shows a lack of foresight.

yes, it does

Bit poor really.
