Endangered species slaughtering that goes on in China is despicable. But the beef industry in America is horrendous too, and is responsible for just as many, if not more, species extinctions due to the deforestation for cattle. 80% of the deforestation in the Amazon rainforest, for example, is for beef production.

So every time we order a hamburger or eat a steak, we're not so much less horrible than people eating shark fin soup.

I'm not a fan of caviar but I rather enjoy the types of truffles I've had. Caviar tastes of salty, fishy moss but truffles just... taste of truffles. It's not a flavour I can quite explain.
Neither of them are necessarily bad ecologically. I recall reading an article that Italy produces the best aquaculture-produced caviar in the world and that this farming causes no issue. The same article also mentioned Italian aquaculturists hired in the US and Canada were developing methods to reproduce similar results using North American plated fish in farmed fisheries. This was... 2008 or so? I don't know if the trials in NA were successful because I never looked deep into it since I kinda dislike caviar to begin with.

Not all truffles are expensive. The common truffle we eat is 'summer truffle.' They're like 10-15€/kg (about $6.20-$9.30/lb). More expensive than common bisporus mushrooms ("regular" or "supermarket" mushrooms are all the same species, just at different ages), but not prohibitively costly. Other truffles are fucktardedly 'spensive, though and those are the ones that I would say are just not worth the price.

One of the problems affecting eels is the disturbing of their rivers and whatnot so that when they try to go back to wherever they go to breed (nobody knows anything at all about eel breeding because they're so mysterious and shy) they can't make it. In N. Europe, hydro-electric faciilities and dams etc. have really fucked the eels so they can't get away.

The farmers of eels move millions of elvers across the artificial barriers so that they can breed, then they collect the returners to farm them and fatten them up. There's a pretty strong argument for eating eels as a way of preserving them - if the market dies, the eels may well die also.

>because the Japanese love them so much

That was a different kind of eel, which is seriously endangered now. Japs tend to eat european eel these days, even though they say it's not so good.

There's also a massive black market in eels, with Chinese guys descending on farms in the USA and Europe and doing all kinds of shady nonsense to get elvers back to china for fattening. Glass eels sell for more per kilo than platinum.

It's a fascinating trade, tbh. Lots of stuff going on with eels.

This argument is always used to justify eating X food, and it's always ridiculous. How about let's not mindlessly destroy animal habitats, pollute the shit out of their environment, and other actions that drive them into extinction?

It's like justifying keeping animals we've decimated in the wild in zoos being a good thing because it saves the species from extinction. Personally, I would rather be extinct than just inbred in a concrete cage.

Right, so this is a Chinese thing mostly, and there are several factors here.

One is that a lot of Chinese people are noveau riche. They lack sophistication and want the most obviously showy status symbols they can find. Just like rap artists who buy bigass diamond chains and throw low-tier brand names (Gucci) into their verses.

Combine their unsophisticated displays of wealth with the Maoist belief that empathy for animals is a sign of weakness, and you get shark fin soup.

I lived in Beijing for a while, and I sincerely hope China gets hit by a meteor. They're the least human people I have ever had to deal with in my entire life.

Even Kenya and Ghana were more hospitable than China.

This isn't an Asian problem. Japan and Korea are lovely, and the brief time I've spend in the SEA countries has been pleasant. China is easily the worst country in the world.

True, a lot of western food can be gross, but if you think about it, it's the volume of shit we pile on top of itself that's disgusting, not the actual food items themselves. We just go way overboard on things that would be okay in smaller portions.
Slice of bacon - okay
Burger - okay
Quadruple burger smothered in cheese, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise and slices of bacon - pretty damn disgusting
See what I mean?
But eating fruits that smell like gym socks and crusty anus is gross no matter the volume.

Chinese people don't have a lot of empathy for that particular animal either.

I also lived in China for a couple of years and a couple of the things I saw will stay with me:

a stall on the market that sold live frogs, and when a customer came to buy some, the stallholder would just cut their heads off with a pair of blunt looking scissors. The heads were laying under the stall, and a chinese friend joked that you could tell the frogs were fresh because the eyes on the heads were still blinking.

The other thing was a restaurant where they served some fucked up dish that involved putting small live fish into boiling oil, and sometimes the fish jumped out on contact with the oil. The thing that turned my stomach wasn't actually that, but that when one jumped out and landed on the floor, a really pretty waitress was just stamping on them to kill them. I dunno why that was so upsetting to me, but I still see that girl stamping fish like it weren't no thing in my mind's eye sometimes.

>Japan and Korea are lovely,

Living sushi and live octopus eating are pretty fucking filthy too. Ikizukuri makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever.

Some of the things I saw in Asia made me honestly believe that two atom bombs and all that napalm weren't enough, America pussied out before the job was done.

I honestly have a hard time thinking of Chinese (and to some extent Japanese) as human in the way I am, it's like there's some kind of deep philosophical divide that makes them as foreign to me as a chimp.

Because if we consider ourselves an animal it has a lot of moral implications for our treatment of other animals.

It's the same as how historically colonial white people thought of "inferior races" as being less evolved humans, and spent tons of funds on trying to scientifically prove blacks and other races were not as evolved.

I've always been really offended that there's a certain brainwashing that encouraged people to believe we're monsters for using a new weapon merely twice on a country that delighted in rape, torture, and infanticide more than any other belligerent.

Nevermind the firebombings, clearly that new thing that likely prevented WW3 is evil for it's destructive potential.
