From the article:
Miss Seikei University (age 20) said, “I will eat food items from east Japan heartily”.
Miss Rikkyo Women’s College (age 22) said enthusiastically, “I will come up with one desert a week using fruits from Tohoku, and eat it.”
Hopeless!
Prof. Hayakawa of Gunma University:
‘If you don’t educate yourself now and fast, you’ll die.’
– Ministry of Agriculture Enlists “Miss Campus” from 9 Universities to Be “Eat and Support East Japan” Ambassadors (EX-SKF, Feb. 15, 2012):
The Japanese government is going to make these young women eat food from the nuclear-disaster affected Tohoku and Kanto to support the recovery.
This is simply beyond my comprehension. Some on Twitter call it “student mobilization”, just like during the World War II; the government knowingly putting young people in danger so they can remain in their positions a while longer.
From Sankei Photo News (2/15/2012):

The nine young women will participate in activities not only for the disaster recovery but also for improving the food self-sufficiency rate.
