Why Chinese and other south- east Asians eat anything. I've seen them eat rats, *beep*, snakes and even human foetuses. Have other food on earth ended? Mad

Eating human foetuses is a vicious rumor. The rumor may come from a news made by a "performance artist" eating a fake human foetuse. Some people in China use the same rumor to evilize Japanese. I've never heard of eating rats. I know for sure in some areas people eat snakes, which I can imagine could be delicious. Why do you selectively eat some animals but not others? What's your rule?

I am taiwanese and I don't eat those sorts of food. Even so, why do you criticize people who do? There are people fom other cultures which revere the cow. Why don't they just start calling you a barbarian? Or perhaps, you should consider seeing how brutal people can be when they process pigs, cows, or other animals in the slaughterhouses. Outofin is correct.

Chinese and other south- east Asians eat something that Other people don't want to eat. I have had snake when I was a child. My mother always bought snake and cook it for me whatever I don't like it. My mother think that snake was good at my health, it would make me strong. At the first, I didn't like eat snake. But after I ate snake several times, I became like ate it. Snake was a delicious food. There are several ways to cook it. Many ways to cook it will make me like to eat it. If you don't like eat it, you can change a way to cook it.
