Don't get me wrong, I'm a Libertarian, but I'm thinking that China could benefit from having an FDA or some food safety organization. |

Quoting: theskaven 39261574 [link to www.latimes.com] BEIJING -- Feasting on strips of mutton dropped in a simmering pot is a popular dining pastime in China, but what if the meat served is actually made of rat? That may be on the minds of diners after the latest stomach-churning food scandal to hit China. Authorities said that traders bought rat, fox, mink and other uninspected meats -- and after adding red coloring and other chemicals -- sold them as lamb rolls for markets in Shanghai and neighboring Jiangsu province. That does not surprise me in the slightest. I have been 2 china and was advised not to eat from street vendors because you never know what you are getting, the person also said there have been cases where human flesh was found being sold in dumplings. Im not saying it happened only repeating was was said to our tour group how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? |

You know, the ones dead from contamination? Being scooped up by "entrepreneurs" for their meat and sold in the markets.

China is amoral and superstitious, it can't work there. I agree with you on that, but. So is the U.S |

The app can only tell you about food they already know is dodgy. I really think the documented cases are only the tip of the iceberg. I think China recently set up a food safety organisation in the last few years, but how on earth do you make sure all their farmers are following safety procedures. China is HUGE! |
