To reach his own, but i must say I found it a little disconcerting :O(

Animal rights campaigners have criticised the Chinese over their extreme eating habits after a video of diners eating a live fish became a hit on the internet.

The film, in which a part-fried fish is shown breathing and wriggling on a plate as it is being slowly eaten alive in a restaurant, has been posted on the video-sharing website YouTube.

In order to keep the carp alive chefs cook its body but wrap its head in a wet cloth to keep it breathing, before covering it in sauce and serving in on a plate.

Peta, the animal rights group, called the video, which had more than 120,000 views on YouTube in a week, "disgusting".

Last month Stephen Fry was criticised by the Chinese embassy after he singled out the Chinese culture as being the biggest threat to some endangered species.

The best cure for a hangover is a couple of live squids washed down with three raw eggs.

Eating is always cruel, alive or dead. But there is no choice. You need to eat to maintain your metabolism. How you do it is probably a cultural issue. So, actually nothing to fight about.

Perhaps It's less painful because the octopus is usually eaten whole :O)
