I read this in a different news article which was a bit more specific about the 'ban'.  Basically China has approved about 140 odd 'officially endorsed Olympic restaraunts' which they are reccomending foreigners go to whilst in town for the Olympics.  SO, much like the ban in Seoul, they have banned those 140 establishments from providing dog, and are encouraging everywhere else to suggest alternatives. 

The article mentioned, like in the above one, Korean's are quite fond of it, and it apparently is used as a medicine to lower high blood pressure.

The last comment was "However dog meat is not a hugely popular dish in Beijing" so I find it funny that they'd even bother with worrying about this.

Though this is a country firing cannons of chemicals into clouds to help stop Beijing from being soaked with rain.   TongueOut

I wonder what type of dog is most popular?

Shar Pei is tasty, but they're hard to skin.

I'm kidding.

For some reason, I'm just thinking that Worcestershire sauce would be good on dog.

Barbeque sauce tastes good on EVERYTHING, even salad.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
