FOR FUCK’S SAKE.

this is fucking neo colonialism, telling small immigrant owned businesses what they can and cannot serve in their own fucking restaurants. If you go into ANY of these places THERE IS A BIG HONKING DESCRIPTION NEXT TO THE ITEM LISTING TELLING YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS. NOBODY IS FORCING YOU TO EAT IT.

white people stop fucking coming into cultural spaces to demand that they cater to YOU. They don’t. They don’t fucking cater to you first and foremost.

It’s literally a food that developed to amp up the protein levels in eggs because of the expensiveness and rarity of good quality meat in the Philippines.

Like OK cool y’all get all high and mighty about duck embryo but meanwhile like foie gras is made by literally exploding goose livers and like nobody is ever gonna sign a petition in nyc to take that off the menu. Like Meat is meat. Get that into your heads.  

FFS

ok but y'all keep forgetting to mention that white ppl will use balut as a shock factor in their shows but the moment we use balut to spread our culture and not as shock factor they do this shit.

I was waiting for the part where they would say ‘Oh hey this is way unhealthy and could kill you’ or ‘this type of duck is endangered so don’t eat’

But no. Literally the only reason is

'I think it’s icky so you can’t have any’

People should be allowed to eat whatever tehy want. Nobody has a problem with veal which is baby cow. Why is an unborn duck any different? hell, even if the duck was hatched, it would end up getting eaten anyways.
If it was endangered or unhealthy I can understand but it’s not so what the fuck?
If an animal is being bred to be eaten, why does it matter at which point it’s eaten?
