I always thought it was weird when people from America to dictate what other countries eat. Like the Japanese whale thing is weird to me. If the Japanese wanna eat whale I'm not gonna tell someone theyre evil while I'm eating steak and chickens thats are raised on torture farms. Its hypocrisy and weird.
The problem is the overfishing of them. Saying that chicken and beef that aren't actually part of a natural ecosystem is comparable to whales is kinda stupid. Overfishing and overhunting are big problems and without regulations many whale species could have gone extinct.
I haven't researched it, but I assume the... diversity (to use a neutral word) of the Chinese diet is due to it being a country with a high population and a very long history of food shortages and famines, some of them within living memory.
In most parts of the world and for most of human history, protein-rich food hasn't been found neatly packed in plastic in the chilled cabinets of the local supermarket. It has been difficult to come by, and consuming just about any available source has been a necessary survival tactic for most of the time homo sapiens has existed.
There are rich assholes in China who eat exotic animals just because they can, but the living standards in rural China are still not that high, most dwellings there don't have refrigerators and so, for some people, any sort of meat is a welcome addition to their diet.
I'm not attempting to excuse the Chinese propensity to eat just about any animal and it's clear from SARS and the current outbreak of coronavirus (as well as some outbreaks of Ebola), that handling wild animals and eating them can be a very risky thing to do. For that matter, there's a long list of all sorts of diseases hunters in the USA can be exposed to and catch when they're handling, butchering and eating wild game.
I think they use stuff like rhino horn to get hard, lol.
I'm all for them eating things like dog, if they want, so long as their not suffering too much, but if they want to eat endangered creatures then they either need to breed as many as their killing or stop.
I Like eating parts of chicken that are not legs or breasts, like their organs and guts, cooked of course. I love beef kidney and that irish blood in bowel. cooked of course.
I say let people eat whatever the fuck they want, as long as the animal had a humane death and as happy of a life as is possible then I guess whatever. But I swear to god I hope someone shoots every mother fucker at one of those live animal cooking festivals and burns the survivors alive
I dont think thats the answer. They should put huge fines or jail time on that kind of thing.
