[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 4043727, member: 12508"] Absolutely. This is mocking a cultural practice. Eating dogs and cats is common in Asian cultures, and I guess your "reasoning" is that we are somehow superior because we don't eat them. This is ethnocentrism of the highest order. What's the difference in them eating dogs and you eating any other animal? In poorer countries, it's also common to eat the entire animal, and not throw away any of the bits we would never consider eating. Anthony Bourdain made a career out of visiting foreign countries and eating delicacies composed of what we would consider offal. Smart man, and a great writer, and someone most of you couldn't comprehend. Please send the expected foul comments about his tragic suicide. Bourdain opened a lot of American eyes both to what they were missing in terms of cuisine, and their cultural "superiority" complex. An amazing display of both arrogance and cultural ignorance.
