People who are mad at Chinese markets and Asian cultures for eating stuff they aren’t used to are just so ignorant to global cultures. Not every country is privileged enough to have a structured FDA.
Some Americans can barely comprehend that some religions choose not to eat certain foods even though those are centuries old practices. But can easily comprehend vegan and vegetarian diets which are much more drastic changes.
Along with that not every country has access to safe produce and protein. China has a lot of poor regions leading to markets where families must buy meat... any meat to survive.
How is one person supposed to predict the meat they are eating isn’t safe when it’s a practice for them to buy what is available for them. They’re worried about not starving and I can promise you they never intended any harm to others.
