I'm not debating that food safety could be better in China and other developing nations, but saying we should shut down their markets is a big overstep and fails to understand the cultural significance. If a drug-resistant bacteria started in the US and spread to China they could just as easily say "Those supermarkets in the US need to be shut down"
The US is making equally risky decisions, but no one here is clamoring about that. Bush meat is no different than wild-caught meat, yet you use a derogatory term for it simply because it doesn't align with your cultural values.
> Even today, the U.S. is far from a paragon of food-safety regulations gone right. The routine use of antibiotics in factory farming has helped create drug-resistant bacteria that cause foodborne illnesses.
