Your government at work. You ordinary, proletarian types need protection by the elite from smoked rodent meat.

Lovely. Another element in our transformation into a Third World country thanks to unfettered immigration.

Um-Um good old beefy armadillo meat and smoke rodents! Sounds like a feast to me!

Authorities say the discoveries are part of a larger trend in which markets across New York are buying meat and other foods from unregulated sources and selling them to an immigrant population accustomed to more exotic fare. Eating mystery meat that most Americans wont. Thats why we need them!

"In a city filled with clusters of people hailing from all over the world, these rules can get lost in translation."I don't get it. Why is anyone complaining?
Perhaps if we required immigrants to learn English, we might be able to teach them our law, too.
Except I don't think a single American can reasonably understand every single law that's out there.
But hey, folks asked for diversity; now they are getting diversity.

P.S.
Nasher bought the chickens from a poultry market in Brooklyn, and said he didn't know he was violating state law.
"In Bangladesh, you didn't have all these rules," he said.
Nasher, you're not in Bangladesh any more.

Yeah. I have mixed feelings about it, however; at one time, markets in Spain used to have to sell skinned rabbits with the ears on - because otherwise, there was no way of telling them from skinned cats. Dar gato por liebre (offering cat as rabbit), in fact, is a Spanish saying.
So I wouldn't say I'm totally opposed to food inspection, but on the other hand, of course these people are going to have to get their rodents, armadillos, etc. outside of the normal meat suppliers. Silly interference.

Uh-ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I can see it now. Charges of "eating while ethnic". Lawyers all over the place. The Council on Gastronomic-American Relations (pronounced see-gar) getting all wiggy.

Great green gobs of greasy grimey gopher guts,
Mutilated monkey meat,
Itsy bitsy birdie feet,
French fried eye-balls,
Rolling down a muddy street,
And I forgot my spoon!

Actually, these
exotic meats pose a significant problem to our domestic food chain. Everything from African swine fever and Foot and Mouth disease can be transmitted from foreign meats that are not from approved and reputable sources. Armadillos carry Leprosy, rats...lassa fever and a myriad of togaviruses, reptiles...parasites that will kill humans if eaten even slightly uncooked.
These places should be dealt with harshly and rapidly IMHO.
