More car-crash TV for sad inadequates who cannot cope unless ordered about by the health Nazis.

Or are you some kinda racist who thinks its funny to post on a Chinese website to ask why we are picky eaters? Why we obsess about rice, eat odd things other people don’t and pick food up between two pointy sticks rather than use a fork?

Try posting on Jewish and Muslim sites and ask why they are picky about pork. That should give you a laugh.

You know how these programmes work Edwina.

We are the chosen freaky minority that gets the budget approved. They will also be looking for the quirky gay that people like, the dominant butch that everyone wants to kill, a straight white guy and a black rapper. I can hear the production meeting. "Chinese are funny eaters. Go and get one that has a eating disorder. Preferably one that hates Tibetans so we can force feed him/her Yak's butter."

I only drink human blood on a full Moon.

Is drinking bird's nest soup or eating chicken feet considered freaky enough, Melissa ?

Hi guys,
I'm not sure if any of you have seen the programme but we're gearing up for the third series. We feature people from a range of different backgrounds with a range of different eating problems. They're given professional help in order to overcome any food fears or addictions they may have. It was one of BBC 3's biggest factual hits of 2007.

At the moment we are spreading the word about the series and letting people know about the opportunity in a variety of different approaches. While you may not be interested yourself, you may know someone who is.

Thanks guys
Melissa

"Biggest Chinese Restaurant in the World"

Old traditions and new money come together in this vibrant exploration of modern China, which examines how the country has transformed over the last few decades. In a newly affluent and ambitious China, who is triving and who is being left behind?

Between mouth-watering Chinese food and the rousing communist songs sung by the staff, the BBC Two's programme explore the struggles and hopes of Chinese people today.
