BEIJING - Villagers in central China dug up a ton of dinosaur bones and boiled them in soup or ground them into powder for traditional medicine, believing they were from flying dragons and had healing powers.
Until last year, the fossils were being sold in Henan province as "dragon bones" at about 4 yuan (50 cents) per kilogram (2.2 pounds), scientist Dong Zhiming told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

I’ve heard about the 1000 year old eggs, but the 10,000,000 year old edible bones are news to me.
pong
Tastes just like chicken bones.
my view of certain locations on the planet, is extremely low
Totally amazing what the Chinese consider to be medicinal or to have special powers.
A friend who lives there told me some of the things they eat. This is no surprise. These people will eat anything.
this is why they don’t get excited when they pulverize toxic chemicals and infuse into baby feed
we are being chemically,biologically attacked and we are paying for it
Saddam must be rotating fairly quickly he got bombed for less
no its no surprise,
the surprise is why is an ounce of food items allowed to land on this shore from these throw back amateurs
answer the only people that care about it are sequestered onto small bulletin boards
as effective as screaming on the street with a sandwich poster that says the end is coming
Letter from child murderer Albert Fish to the mother of his victim:
My dear Mrs. Budd,
In 1894 a friend of mine shipped as a deck hand on the Steamer Tacoma, Capt. John Davis. They sailed from San Francisco for Hong Kong China. On arriving there he and two others went ashore and got drunk. When they returned the boat was gone.
At that time there was famine in China. [1] Meat of any kind was from $1 to 3 Dollars a pound. So great was the suffering among the very poor that all children under 12 were sold for food in order to keep others from starving. [2] A boy or girl under 14 was not safe in the street. You could go in any shop and ask for steak -- chops -- or stew meat. Part of the naked body of a boy or girl would be brought out and just what you wanted cut from it. A boy or girls behind which is the sweetest part of the body and sold as veal cutlet brought the highest price.
Europeans were doing similar stuff to mummies a few hundred years ago.
I’m looking into marketing my dirty golf socks in the Chinese market.

Albert Fish was a murderer who kidnapped and killed a little girl with the intention of eating her. Which he did.
yes they have
did the Chinese miss that part of their schooling in their communist indoctrination camps
maybe one of them should have said, hey thats what the slow witted Europeans did 100 years ago
maybe we should not do it in digital age with internet explaining how moronic that activity really is
btt
I was in an Asian grocery last week and saw several different brands of silkworm pupa. MMMMMMM.
