I would eat one for survival in a minute. Otherwise, no.

1% of the food that's shipped into the U.S. is inspected, I wonder what they would find in the other 99% that isn't.

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought 'oh, good grief, nooooo way.Wont even check this out. BUT curiosity got the better of me. When one ethnic restaurant opened in my fair village, we all said, there goes the rat population, then when a restaurant of a differnt heritage opened their doors, the standard question was, well have yu noticed the sudden lack of stray cats lately?

And I am NOT referring to any specific group, just reporting folks. Considering as how we have now been made aware of cardboard seasonings from China, should we ever be surpeised concerning the ingredients of any canned food stuffs or frozen varieties from anywhere?

My Dad had taken a tour of a meat processing plant once and reported tht you wouldn't want to eat certain meat products if you knew how they were 'put together'. This is really grossing me out. Will have to stop now and quit getting the mental image that penetrates the old brain.

Eat a rat? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Now go ask another provoking question...

That's just nasty. I'm going to avoid Asian food for awhile. If it don't got a shrimp tail hanging from it, I'm not eating it.

I'm not into eating rat, dog, cat, or any other vermin or rodent. I don't care how it tastes, what I've been fed in the past, etc. If Sparkles will go fetch the paper, lick your cheek, bark and intruders, that's enough for me. He's not gonna wind up on the BBQ spigot! That's rude!
