The strange exotic meat is only for the 1% who have refined tastes and and cure anything by drinking the blood of virgins.

Offer void in Virginia..

From the article: The smuggled meats - some found in postal packages, some discovered inside suitcases - were tested first to make a species identification. This showed up several non-human primates, included baboon and chimpanzee, but also rodents.

w00t! Soylent green supply... SAFE!

Much of the trade in wildlife meat, or bushmeat, has its origin in Africa.

That pretty well says it all, right there.

If it's going to screw up everyone and everything, you can pretty well bet that it has it's origins in Africa.

BTW. Civet cat is basically a version of a Skunk. Leave it to the Chinese to develop a taste for an animal that literally reeks.

Then again, the Indonesians -- I think -- love 'balute' which is a duck egg fetus brought nearly to hatching, then boiled alive and eaten. Crack the egg and this nearly fully formed duck falls out and you eat it beak and all and sip the juices the little corpse was surrounded by. They rave about it's properties.

I find it gross.

Peta probably goes into convulsions of rage over that popular food.

(What got me, aside from the grossness of a little fully formed corpse, was this really cute Asian girl who was chowing down on one with obvious delight.)

The Herp should not be taken lightly, as Tom Hanks would tell you...

They eat that crap in the Philippines, which was the only place that got the best of Andrew Zimmerman. I mean, There were a couple of things there I think they had to re-film because he gagged the first time.

The bushmeat trade is the likeliest explanation for the HIV virus infecting humans and traveling abroad.

Thanks, all you idiots who absolutely needed to sample foreign steak or needed your useless aphrodisiac.
