While Indians are busy politicizing the recent ban on Maggi due to its alleged high lead content, technologically advanced Japan has made a smart move to import the high-in-lead Maggi packets for abysmally cheap prices. While this might baffle most, Japanese “Advisory Board Of Smartass Ideas” (ABSI) that reports to its Prime Minister deems it has a valid reason to do it.

ABSI’s Chairman Dhakala Gabuka opines that although all of Japan’s nuclear reactors are currently closed after the Tsunami of 2011, nuclear power still stands as a national strategic priority. Prior to the disaster, Japan was generating more than 30% of its electric energy from nuclear reactors.

“We generally spend tons of money on lead shielding which prevents or mitigates the level of the nuclear radiation from affecting the environment. But if the allegations of various agencies in India are to be believed, we could easily use those Maggi packets as lead shielding for our reactors. That way, we make sure the food is not thrown away in India and money is not wasted in Japan. It’s a win-win deal and I don’t see any problem. I’m sure Mr.Narendra Modi will approve of this”, he stated in a press conference.

While it’s yet to be seen if Nestle will agree for this, Japanese have once again proved that they’re the smartest people on the planet.
