...might seem like a killjoy. After all, China at the moment is the star on the world economic stage. The country's soaring need for a host of goods, especially commodities such as oil, iron ore and aluminum, is a major contributor to global economic recovery. China is poised this year to pass Japan as the world's third largest importer.

Latham is also the founder of the annual Wild About Game Cook-Off in Welches, Ore. At its 2000 debut, about 50 people showed up. In 2003 more than 600 checked out the creations of such top chefs as Joseba Jimenez of Seattle's Harvest Vine restaurant, who made a pheasant braised in Cabernet Franc and sherry vinegar with foie gras. It's not just chefs in the outdoorsy West who are serving unconventional meats. In Houston, Ziggy's Healthy Grill faced a storm of animal-rights protests after adding kangaroo burgers to its menu.
