Katy Perry Confirms She Eats Acupuncture-treated Fish
in Strangest Fad since JLo Sniffed Grapefruit Oil
There is such a thing as
acupuncture-treated sushi and Katy
Perry is proud to say she’s tried it.
Yes acupuncture, the ancient Chinese
form of medicine in which needles are inserted into the skin at certain points
of the body, also now used on fish and eaten by famous people. The practice is
known for relieving back pain.
Perry had her specialist sushi made
for her by chef and restaurant owner Antonio Park. She ate it with Neil Patrick
Harris and his fiancé David Burtka.
There is little else to say. Except
why? Why do fishes need to be treated for acupuncture? Park’s Montreal
restaurant website helpfully explains that the technique is actually kinder to
the fish. The needles apparently paralyse the animal and renders it
“senseless”, thus keeping it fresh (apparently, keeping it chilled in the
office fridge isn’t good enough).
“Fishermen insert needles so that
the trauma of death is avoided, allowing the cut to remain exceptionally
tender,” says a description about the process called kaimin katsugyo, which
translates as 'live fish sleeping soundly’.
Perry then weirdly shared a picture
of herself getting acupuncture as she “got ready” for a Montreal gig. Perhaps
she’s trying to understand how the fish feel. Either way, we're not sure
paralysing fish sushi will catch on - it's the weirdest fad since JLo began
sniffing grapefruit oil with the misplaced hope that the aroma alone might
trigger liver enzymes into calorie-burning, detoxifying gear.
