Cambodia: One dead and six ill after eating poisonous frogs

Tweet

I posted this article on several citizen news site a while back, most people found the story a little heartbreaking. I was however surprised by one person who completely overlooked the point of the article and said that I was insulting the local diet of choice. The point of the article is that this happened as a result of extreme poverty in the area and many children are forced to fend for themselves, she completely overlooked the part about the family had to make a coffin from an old table and a local charity paid for the funeral because they could not. i don't know, it seems a litle crazy to me when someone can bypass the death of a child and the circumstances that led up to it and complain about the fact that I mention frogs as food. By the way, I love frog legs. The poisoning came as a result of the children catching and preparing the frogs without experience or supervision. Oh well just blowing off steam here
