It’s old news.  Products & food items “Made in China” can be health hazards.

But it’s old news that keeps re-appearing.  And this latest article I read takes the cake!

Recently in Beijing, a very wealthy family had a wedding with about 500 guests.  The lavish reception served up sumptuous dumplings, steamed chickens, pork ribs, meatballs, stir fries, etc.  You get the idea.  But after an hour into the meal “…a pregnant woman collapsed, old men clutched their chests, and children vomited.”

What gives?

At the end, of the 500 guests, 286 went to the hospital – because the pork they ate was contaminated with a steroid that makes pigs grow faster and leaner, but when humans eat lots of it, it can cause heart palpitations, nausea, convulsions, dizziness, and vomiting.

Eat at your own risk – because “bigger, cheaper, faster is the name of the game.”

Apparently, that’s the current mantra when one is invited to any social event in China nowadays.  Not even the Chinese people can trust their own people to serve up safe food to eat.  And their government’s attempt at scaring people to be responsible for the health of their customers have failed – food poisoning rates are still on the rise.

To give you an idea, here’s a short list of SOME of the reasons why food in China are NOT SAFE:

• glow-in-the-dark pork(meats emit blue light because of phosphorescent bacteria)
  

  skimming oil from sewer

• exploding watermelons (too much growth hormones)
• fish fed with ground-up birth control pills (to make them mature faster)
• fake eggs (made by chemicals –> watch the VIDEO you’ll be surprised)
• dyed, cheap wheat buns (so they look like the expensive kind)
• inked and paraffin waxed noodles (for the look and texture of the more expensive ones)
• imitation soy sauce made from clippings swept up from hairdressers’ floors (to make into amino acid solution)
• cooking oil scooped out of sewers, reprocessed, then sold (1/10 of Chinese restaurants use this carcinogenic-fungus-ridden oil –> it’s in Chinese, but the VIDEO images speak for themselves)
