To be fair, bunny sandwiches is just as revolting an idea.

Where's the harm in a little innocent hyperbole?... from National Geographic no less! Ringling Brothers boasted the 'Greatest Show on Earth', right? Let Kkgg7 chew on that for a while while he nibbles on his puppy sandwich!
... and by the way, turkeys make for notoriously bad pets!!
Asian markets especially the ones in China, are widely known for their animal cruelty. Probably why they didn't make the list.
westerns do eat veal, right? I don't see the different between that and a puppy sandwich.
by the way, sandwich? I don't eat sandwiches at all just so you know. I'd prefer dog meat cooked in a pot with hot sauce, particularly in the winter. Traditional wisdom says it keeps your body warm.
I don't eat any of the above, so I reserve my right to say without any hypocrisy that it's a disgusting practice.
Not to mention piss-poor health standards, rude employees, unimpressive architecture, and overall unpleasant unattractive atmosphere.
Only reason people like to visit them is to feel how 'authentic' they are. Most westerners would be horrified if they had to rely on groceries from a Chinese market.

in case you don't know, life expectancy in Shanghai is 82.5 years, higher than Canada's average (80.9) Vancouver (81.1) and Toronto's (79).
I guess all these piss-poor health standards are not that damaging after all?
it never cease to amaze me how westerner have this irrational "we are so much better than you" mindset and they totally ignore the contradicting facts saying otherwise.

But surely you realise that when you look at the life expectancy of Torontonians you are including the poorest people in Canada in your sample, whereas in Shanghai you are pretty much singling out the richest people in a massive country.
Shanghai has a vast wealthy discrancy. The average salary is about $500 a month. Many retirees live on less than $200 a month and most new college grads make about $300-400. If you think Shanghai only has the richest people in China, that's not correct.
I am not saying Shanghai has better life quality, but that your condenscending comment about "piss-poor" health condition is overly exaggerating. You can't really expect to live 82.5 years on average in such condition. Otherwise, everyone would live 120 years old in Toronto.
Hmm, it is a bit of stretch to claim it, at least on this board... And, generally, it looks like westerners are much more open-minded in accommodating other cultures than vice versa. I did notice that you would never miss an opportunity to argue against any positive information posted about Toronto, whether it related to its culture, development, architecture, transportation, etc. Why are you so bitter? Feels like some sort of inferiority complex.
