Shunde Renjia Restaurant in the Guangdong city of Foshan is offering "Snake-bitten Chicken" dish for many years and customers keep coming back. It defended a controversial practice of killing chickens with snake bites, saying the resulting dish was healthy and kept the customers flooding in. The snake toxin turns into an enzyme after heating and can help keep the human body warm and clear blood vessels.After a newspaper reports last week, it has generated a storm of controversy in the media and among bloggers after a video of its preparation was circulated online. The video shows a cook holding a snake and forcing it to bite a live chicken. Health authorities in Guangdong have told restaurants to stop serving "poisonous snake-bitten chicken".
