I've more faith in the bat origin theory than the others so far.

Don't know if the science is solid, but given how riddled bats are with all kinds of nasty stuff, you probably don't want to be eating that unless you're particularly keen on developing an exotic disease.

You can still have a man-made virus with the original source being bats.

If you're interested in the open speculation, this guy does a pretty good breakdown of all the talking points:

I don't know which theory is bat shit crazy, a virus with suspicious resemblance to SARS, HIV or just EATING bat shit is crazy

this outbreak proves humans are doomed to repeat the same mistake

If you’re talking about the video if that TV show host eating bat soup, that took place in Palau, not China.
