Question

The first sushi restaurant opens in a town. (Sushi is a type of food popularized in Japan. It consists of cooked rice combined with raw fish or other seafood.) People in this town have always liked large portions of grilled meat such as steak, so initially they are reluctant to try a restaurant that serves tiny portions of raw fish. Soon, however, an influential health report warns of the dangers of eating grilled meat and suggests that people should eat more fish, especially raw fish.
