Less culturally imperialist than... meatily imperialist? I guess? From what I understand of meat, just due to what bushmeat tends to be -- the type of animals, and how they live/what they eat -- the meat trends toward being on the lower range of delicious flesh quality, compared to your average farm grown stuff or whatev'.
ayyyyyy
are you saying that meat farms are in any shape or form superior to ebolabat
the only reason meat farms are not ebolabat is because they spray fucking everything with so many antibiotics i recall who shouting "pls no"
give them a knowledge of virology to the measure of "hey guys catching bats is not a good fucking idea" it's not like poor people don't keep away from poisonous shit if they very well know it's poisonous don't they
Well, to be fair, it used to be true in the West as well. Pigeon pies are much harder to find nowadays then they used to be, and rat in the West has gone the way of "traditional food" - I'm not sure I've ever seen a rat paella. Education is all and good, but others have already pointed out the issues in that education alone isn't enough. It is entirely true that ready access to mass-produced, safer (as you yourself say), and above all, inexpensive meats - regardless of which meats those are, or how those meats are produced - will reduce the consumption of bushmeat and have positive effects on Ebola transmission from wild animals to humans, which is not a bad thing.
((Of course, that said, just because we don't actually eat it doesn't mean we don't make the occasional joke about dog-meat and emergency food supplies.))
