Fun fact, in Chinese recipe, most of the Oyster species can be cooked in similar ways. So it's easy to let Chinese accept this one. One the other hand, Oyster seems pretty healthy since it contains protein but has few fat and sugar, which amuse young people nowadays.
However, since Chinese people already have several oyster-like species locally, importing this one could probably hurt local fish-men's interests.

- throwaway91111 9y agoFat and sugar are both good for you in moderation; i never got this obsession with chucking entire food groups out the window as if they're the reason you have nutritional issues. The issue is always, always you. Or genetics.
- adrianN 9y agoYou need fat in rather largeish amounts, but I've yet to hear a benefit of eating sugar compared to carbohydrates that are digested more slowly.
- throwaway91111 9y agoWell, the main benefit to sugar is that it metabolizes quickly.
- emodendroket 9y agoHow is that a benefit to someone living in the modern industrialized world, though?

- collyw 9y agoNot everyone in the west is a fattie. I am pretty skinny and wanted to gain some weight fairly rapidly a few years ago, so sat with a 2L bottle of soft drink beside my desk at work every day for a couple of weeks. It worked a lot better than my previous attempts of just "eating more".

- buu700 9y agoActually, while you're technically not wrong since your statement was limited to just sugar, I was surprised to find out about a year ago that oysters are fairly high in carbohydrates. Google shows that just one 50g Pacific oyster has 2.5g, whereas just about any other meat will have no significant amount.
- undersuit 9y agoThe fresher your meat the more carbohydrates is going to be in it. Apparently the Inuit got something like 20% of their energy from glycogen in their animal kills.
