When it comes to this topic, I suddenly recall that one of my colleagues had once told me there got some people like eating taboo food such like squirrel, rat and etc. 0_0 Another colleague who is from Sabah admitted he did and he ate those animals for real. He said he is used to eat those because it is the common traditional in his hometown. People in his hometown would capture whatever they've spotted any animal in forest and bring them back to home and eat..
Have you heard or read about taboo food before? What do you know about taboo food? Why such taboo food exist in this world? What kind of animal or insect we can eat or cannot eat? Are taboo food really safe and clean to be eaten? What are the advantages or disadvantages of eating them? We really exactly don't know about them so much. However, one thing we only know is taboo food is against certain religion for sure.
As you know, the muslims are not allowed to eat pork as the chinese do eat. Indians and chinese are originally not allowed to eat beef but nowadays beef has become common food to them. As I know the reason why the chinese are not allowed to eat beef, in old times where old people feel its wrong to eat cow that was really so useful in agriculture. While the Indians serves cow as their own sacred god, they consider killing or slaughtering a cow as a grave sin. Mostly in western country, they who are not really religious would hunt and eat anything and anything they want or like.
Alright, have you seen people eating rattlesnake, crocodiles or some insects? Didn't you find it is so really gross or disgusting to eat or see people eating such like? However to those who eat those, they consider those as healthy food or preferably a medicine to their "personal" desire. Some would say it's great for those who has a low sex drive and call it as the best aphrodisiac. Some say a result of health considerations or other practical considerations. Some say a result of human symbolic systems.. I don't know it's really true and am kinda scared wanna eat those hehe..
