Steven Rinella depicts a culinary experience in Vietnam, eating dog meat.
Apparently eating dog meat creates a burning sensation in the chest. Not sure whether that comes from the subjective realization that you are consuming "man's best friend." Rinella explains how difficult this was for him, especially since the act brought to memory the pet dogs he grew up loving. Fascinating Steve! What a gift to humanity. What rich cultural narrative.

As Tyler Cohen, economist and respected blogger, explains;
"Well, most countries do limit immigration one way or another. Here is the bottom line:
By barring any Buddhist monk living outside China from seeking reincarnation, the law effectively gives Chinese authorities the power to choose the next Dalai Lama, whose soul, by tradition, is reborn as a new human to continue the work of relieving suffering."
