BEIJING — China's State Administration of Industry and Commerce issued a notice this weekend banning meals served on naked bodies, officially canceling the service offered by a Japanese restaurant in southwestern China that served sushi on unclothed female university students, a Beijing newspaper reported Sunday.
The Saturday pronouncement forbids the service because it "insults people's moral quality," according to the Beijing Times. Serving food on women's bodies also "spreads commercial activity with poor culture," the paper said, citing the administration's notice.
...Flowers, shells and rocks also adorned the women's bodies, according to a photo in the Beijing paper.
The women lay calmly as people ate, a restaurant manager told Kunming media, which said this style of dining existed in "ancient Japan."
