The State Administration of Industry and Commerce issued a notice over the
weekend banning meals served on naked bodies, a Beijing newspaper reported
Sunday.

The notice officially
canceled the service offered by a restaurant in southwestern China that served
sushi on unclothed female university students.
The Saturday pronouncement forbids the service because it "insults people's
moral quality," the Beijing Times said. Serving food on women's bodies also
"spreads commercial activity with poor culture," the paper said, citing the
administration's notice.
In April 2004, Chinese media reported that the Hefeng Village Huaishi Cuisine
Restaurant in Kunming, capital of Yunnan Province, was serving sushi and other
Japanese food on two naked university students as they lay on their backs.
Customers would pay 1,000 yuan (US$120) each for the meal after making
reservations up to three days in advance, media said.
The women lay calmly as people ate, a restaurant manager told Kunming media,
which said this style of dining existed in "ancient Japan."
The reports came out in April 2004, raising questions among Kunming
residents. A restaurant staff member said the service had been canceled.
The State Administration of Industry and Commerce notice
bars nudity for other dining and entertainment purposes, including "meals on
breasts" served in Changsha, Hunan Province, and naked models used in an art
exhibit at Wuyi Mountain in southern China.
