The Conovirus and being Vegan/ not eating exotic things or crazy things like Bats?

[Crimson Dynamo]

SO we know this virus came from an illegal animal market where Chinese people eat bats that are fried alive and snakes and pretty much anything that lives.

(dont google what "3 squeaks" is)

So does this make the case for Veggie/Vegan lifestyle more solid than ever. Does this put you off your Chinese takeaway?

It's less of an issue of meat vs veganism and more about food safety and regulations.

Bats, like rats, are carriers of disease and should never really be eaten and a lot of their meat weren't prepared properly (or humanely). The spread of a virus like this was inevitable and it'll likely happen again since China aren't likely to change their ways.

The Chinese in particular seem to have a lack of compassion for animals and thier welfare, we all know how they kill the dogs/cats or try to ,and why would anyone cook anything alive or skin it alive,but they do, they seem to have no concept of the pain and fear these animals endure, I would never want to visit there or eat any of their food even though I am vegetarian,I don't trust what they put in it.

I do wonder whether it's something left over from the times before the relatively recent age of prosperity for the country. Eating any kind of meat out of necessity probably gave way to a tradition of doing so in China. It's like how most national foods that people associate with different countries will often be simple foods that aren't too difficult to make. Dishes created from necessity.

I make you right there. In India spicy food developed from the inability to keep meat fresh so they put stronger and stronger flavours to cover up the fact the meat was going putrid

Indeed, and good ol' Haggis was invented to use up the "less desireable" parts of a sheep (tough meats and offal) and bulk them out with grains and flavoured with onions, pepper and spices because it probably tasted... offal...

The haggis on sale these days has much higher quality ingredients than the original dish made out of necessity.
