For many people, rats are unwanted guests in the house. But in China, they can be a delicacy on the dining table.

Why are rats bad to eat but Lobsters are not?

They're just scapegoating these rural meat-farmers raising cultivated rats for market--- it's no worse than pigs raised for the meat industry ----because they're covering up the true origin of the CCP (Wuhan) virus: the Wuhan Virology Institute.

They’re pretty disgusting. I don’t care if it is another culture. Common sense says that is a filthy animal that God never meant for man to eat.
Is there anything those people won’t eat?.
×××We can give them our “Rats”. They’re stupid, liars and un-American.×××

We have been eating at the same Chinese Restaurant for over 40 years. The two young men running it now are the grand kids of the original from China Owners.
About every 4-5 years, the county health cites them for some cleanliness violations.
The food is really good. Where you eat is spotless and so is where the Chef works/cooks.
The back storage and one restroom are ????
We are about where you are re this restaurant.

Demolition Man, Sylvester Stallone:
Lieutenant Huxley (Sandra Bullock): Just don’t ask where the meat comes from.
Sergeant John Spartan (Stallone): Huxley, what’s that supposed to mean?
Huxley: Do you see any cows around here?
Spartan: Que es esta carne?
Seller: Esta carne es de rata.
Spartan: Rat? This is a rat burger? Not bad. Matter of fact, this is the best burger I’ve had in years.
That’s Disney’s kiddy propaganda insisting that all cultures and cuisines are equal. Don’t give any Disney/ABC/ESPN a nickel for their miseducation goals.
Michelle Obama’s ears just perked up.
“Who just said ‘LOBSTER’? I know I heard it.
Is that LOBSTER grilled, baked, boiled or what?”
