China --- Creepy crawlers

I was in China twice, each time with an important delegation. We served things that creeped and crawled. It was a great cuisine --- until I learned what it was in it.

Now, Yao Ming, the Houston basketball star, and a national Chinese hero (all 7' 6" of him) has come out publicly against "Shark Fin Soup."

People still love Mr. Ming --- but his pleas were ignored.

So much for endangered species.
