Why is rat meat such a big scandal?

Wouldn't a bb gun be more fun, or is it illegal where u live?
 
the thread title almost made me puke !
 
Not if they're in the walls, cabinets, etc... I think mice can squeeze through a gap less than a quarter of an inch, or something.

Put a giant thing of milk outside to attract the rats and add poison to it,that should probably be a lil more fun without shooting up your walls,lol.
 
Anyone catch that This American Life episode on calamari?
An alarming amount of restaurants are actually serving pig anus.
No lie.
Also they went on to say that a lot of what you think you are eating is intentionally mislabeled as something totally different.

Meet in general is just really bad for you. The body only needs 10% of your daily diet to be protein, anything above that is turned into "waste".
Basicly, rat's carry pathogens and bacteria since they are bottom feeders - this is on a whole different level then something like chicken or beef product. It also goes beyond just cooking it. The meat genomes go bad because of the pathogens/bacteria, if not handled correctly - disease is easily spread from non-cooked meat to both other products (meat, vegetables..etc) as well as anything within it's general vicinity. 5,000 people in the U.S die each year from eating raw chicken. Rat is considered 100x more dangerous.

Then...you have to consider the processing of the rat meat. If would have to be cleansed similar to pork but at a higher amount. At the current moment to cleanse pork they wash it in bleach, and then ammonia, and then rinse it down with water. Then ofcourse they package it for you to each. YUMMY! Who wants bleach and ammonia for dinner tonight! Me mommy...I do! ;)
 
The body needs way more then 10% of its daily diet to be protein,and meat is actually very good for you. http://thepaleodiet.com/

100% properly raised,prepared and cooked rat meat is safe as any other kind of food

are there any brands of rat bait that actually work? around here, the rodents are immune to the store brands.
 
Yup that's the one!

and I can remember when my favorite upscale Italian joint starting serving shit calamari.
I'm pretty sure they switched it over to pig anus, because it was longer delish.

My ole lady and I were listening to that episode, and we were both like:
"Ohhh, that's what happened at Gavi's, ...gross!!

on a side note, that Ira Glass imprersonation by Fred Armisen is hiarious

Farmed raised rat meat is fine.

Heck we eat pork from pigs and they eat any and everything but the difference is that the pigs are farm raised so its in a controlled environment
