I would like to get your feedback about Beijing banning restaurants from serving dog meat at the Olympics.
Do you think they are being oversensitive, by trying not to offend visitors? Should they leave it on their menus?How do you feel about eating dog meat is there a difference between dog meat, beaf, pork or horse?

I don't eat meat, however...there is a BIG DIFFERENCE. Most meat eaters are hypocritical in that they will only eat vegetarian animals. There is a traditional revulsion in eating meat-eating animals.

Well to me, its different than taste... its about the habits... during the history... you never feed a dog or horse to eat...
but instead of banning... they could seperate the meals you know as "dog meat","pork","beaf" etc...

If it was the only means of survival, I guess I would try it. I don't know about other countries, but here in the U.S. dogs are family pets. They are loved just like a family member. I can't imagine eating dogs, it seems barbaric to me. I understand it's part of their cultural, but that doesn't mean I have to approve of it.
With the number of guests visiting, I believe they made a good decision to remove it from their menu in the short term.

I find it an exaggeration. Unless only dog meat is served what harm can it do to foreign visitors? If there is a clear distinction in the menu to make sure nobody orders Spotty by mistake, nobody will be insulted. And I bet lots of people will try dog's meat out of curiosity.

Quoting Leelu: I think its that whole "eating" a member of the family, even if it is a pet. but then I would look at my pets differently if they "ate" another of my pets. |
The Chinese have dogs as pets too! However, their pets are all about "status" and as soon as a breed goes out of fashion they have been known to eat the old one and get a new one!

Quoting zhang ziyi:
I agree with you.
A clear information in the menu should be more than enough.
I think it is a big discrimination to the hosts and not only. Nobody will force anyone to eat a particular type of meat. |
Well I for one don't like to eat Chinese food unless it's really clear what it is. Any ground up indeterminate filling or stuffing is a no no in my book.
Fact of the matter, I avoid Chinese food because their dietary taste is not mine. I like to know exactly what it is and how it has been prepared.

Quoting zhang ziyi: I would not either force you to stuff yourself with no no halal food, never ever.
However, should Chinese be banned just because Alameda does not like it? |
I did not suggest banning your food, I just said I don't want to eat it. My stomach, my choice, OK?
Quoting zhang ziyi: If Alameda does not like my food, let Alameda not come to my restaurant, let Alameda go to other restaurants or cook for Alameda-self, but not dictate rules for the whole nation or even the world. |
You eat your food, I'll eat mine. Actually, I much prefer to prepare my own food. At least I know what's in it. I have NOT dictated to anyone what they eat or don't eat. Do not say what I did not say.

How do you recognize that meat you buy anywhere is what you think is? I can sell it to you as lamb/beef/pork/deer/rabbit. |
From smell,from colour,then lastly from taste,cant you?!

Dont forget the sounds either...moo.baa.oink oink..I have no idea what a deer or rabbit sounds like.
No, seriously I can certainly tell what kind of meat I'm eating. Can't you tell between chopped steak and a NY Strip? Better yet, pork chop or vensison..

Teas, are you trying to tell us your meat still makes sounds when you eat it? I know some love their steak rare but unless it's mute I wouldn't put it into my mouth!

I don't eat lamb, deer or rabbit. But I do prefer a steak medium rare.
