Human Meat in China

A revolting news was reported on Monday by the Web site World News Reporter, claiming that human meat is being sold openly in China and Taiwan.

The report, accompanied by gory imagesof chopped body parts, identified the city of Tiongkok as where human meat parts are sold, similar to poultry sold by parts such as thigh, leg, breast or wings. It said the costliest meat is that of females, specifically their breasts.

However, many readers who read the article think it is a hoax, and even noticed the very bad grammar of the story.

Alex Delarge said only an idiot would believe in such a news article, while Nica Alday pointed out that the woman in the photo doesn't even look Chinese.

Meanwhile, another Web site, Snopes.com, also debunked an Internet hoax story of dead babies or fetuses being sold for $50 to $70 in Taiwan. To make the story believable, the article was accompanies by a photo of a man eating what looks like a cooked infant.

The Web site said both Scotland Yard and the FBI investigated the photo and it identified the man as Zhu Yu, a Chinese performance artist who actually staged the conceptual shocking image titled Eating People at a Shanghai Arts Festival in 2000.

Since then, the photo has been included in several art exhibits and included in the Beijing Swings documentary of a TV show aired in the UK in 2003 over Channel Four. Here is a clip from that docu.

Baby Meat Today

As the world finds itself within a new millenium, many infants find themselves uncooked. There just isn't a market for baby meat in today's society. However, market researches believe that there will be a wild spurt of baby meat popularity in 2015, when people realize just how obnoxious, yet delicious babies really are.

A growing culinary trend is the use of baby fat in cooking. It has a high melting point and is low in trans-fat and saturated fat, making it an ideal substitute for lard or shortening in baking.

Baby liver is a good substitute to foie gras in the countries, where it is forbidden (mainly due to ethic reasons). It is prepared similarly to the French delicacy.
