Chinese folk outraged that the donkey meat they purchased is actually fox meat

I'd be outraged about it as well, wouldn't you?

I try not to empty quote, though...

The Chinese have more important things to be mad about.

More important than food safety? I very much doubt most people in the world would take a democracy without that to the converse.

(Also, dog meat is extremely out of style these days; many Chinese have dogs as pets and are signing pledges against such consumption.)

I thought it was really obvious that my comment was intended to indicate a general distrust of the cuisine in an area where eating horse, fox, dog, and Lord knows what else is acceptable. That's all. I mean I thought it REEEEEALLLLLY obvious that the intent was to convey that, and that it was perfectly understandable.

It did not begin by being acceptable; it was by being necessary. Horse meat, as I've heard, is actually very tender!

And the Chinese who have to live in a country with abysmal food safety regulations - like my family, say - worry a lot more than you do. No need to make their lives even more miserable by mocking the food they like.
