A couple of my friends from China [[who agree these markets are disgusting by the way) have said it's not the poor eating this stuff. The poor bring these animals in from rural areas to be sold in the city to the middle and upper class. It's a cultural thing that won't easily be changed. Meanwhile the poor eat mostly rice because they can't afford these "delicacies".

Yep. It's the elite, and rich who have the highest, rapacious appetite for all that stuff. And can afford it! Chinese food in China hardly resembles what we eat here. Those that have visited China learn this FAST!!
