It's Rated V, not for violence, but for Vomiting. it seems some Chinese ethnics in Southern China GuangXi Province eat everything that moves, of course that's not my business to meddle, but I believe people have their liberty to eat anything they like, it's their appetite, not my force fed ideology on edible preference, because one dude I met at a workplace from that province brazenly talk about his village cuisine dogs and cats, I was kind of racist, and said to him "you people eat anything, you are not Han, savage people..." of course that end co-working relationship right that moment, I guess I put animal rights over people's rights. Last week, on Terry Gross Radio Show, an formidable China study professor reported in GuangXi province some ritual cannibalism happened during the cultural revolution period 1965-1975.
It's 5 stars for Disgusting, 4 stars for humiliation. :)
My personal view on this sub-human culture is that people do have their right to perform religious or traditional practice, and I have my free speech too, I really don't give a crap what they eat, but I care about 2 things:
1) Are human treated and killed humanely before they become sausage?
2) If one day human were going extinct, can people just turn their main course to fish?
I really don't care how people are treated, they have their own rights to fight for their freedom too, if someone tells them what to speak, how to speak, what to wear, how to stand and do anything like they are 5 year old, that guy deserves get a few slaps on his face in front of everyone.
Mao could only be a god, or leader in China, because Chinese people only duck when they suppose to fight, and other officials let him to screw them by rioting the young stupid students. He was a thug, a bully, a coward, a plagiarizer, his best poem (Snow) was robbed from his secretary Hu QiaoMu at YanAn. Mao would not be somebody if he were in US, because Western, American culture won't allow bully, people, and his co-workers would humiliate publicly him everyday, and beat the crap out him if he dare to physically threaten others. Also Chinese are ruled in empire system for 3000 proud years, people are born and raised to fear and serve and must worship an Emperor, there's emperor in family, usually abusive father, beats mom and kids, there's boss rules like emperor and his managers helped him to play henchmen, and officials from village to the top, one rank over another like pyramid. I don't preach only violence, rudeness, bully back, but if people live in this kind of men eat men culture, it's needed, to survive the madness and madmen.
Last, the more I read Tang poetry, I respect more ancient Chinese culture, they are allowed to write anything, they don't torture animals, they believe Tao and Zen, and never believe some folk culture like something magic in strange protein.
Also a Great book I read and loved its insight, very educational, great book on Chinese culture, Chinese are not changed that much since Qing Dynasty.

My Own American Dream Dish that I always dream one day I eat:
Kale Lobster Pizza!
Yay! I created this myself, I tried to persuade a nearby pizzeria to experiment my dish, imagine vitamin and mineral rich forest colored Kale, juicy delicious pink lobster and cheese as topping, green, pink, yellow, and red tomato sauce, That's American Dream come true on your plate!!! Any Pizzaria sell this first would have tv, paper and people line up around block. It's truly huge. Perfect example of Chinese Cuisine principal: Color, Smell, Taste.
