"This is a primitive culture and a terrible government." posted by dannyttown

I don't think the word "primitive" really covers it. Try "SICK".

Yes, we do have some bad chemicals in our food but only SICK people would put pig slop, sewage, cardboard in our food.

Ever wonder whats in your food? Read the ingredients? Tartrazine or FD&C Yellow 5 is derived from coal tar.

This is a primitive culture and a terrible government! They mismanage everything they touch! Instead of vaccinating animals for rabies, they LITERALLY club them to death in the streets. Moreover time after time, their consumer products have been deemed unsafe. BAN ALL CHINESE PRODUCTS!! BOOST AMERICA'S ECONOMY! BUY AMERICAN.

[wangbang]

Actually, you fat Americans should be eating cardboard. Maybe you wouldn't be so friggin fat. Jeez, I walk out onto the street and see nothing but gigantic fat *****. 7 out of 10 of you. What the hell is your problem?

[rushlimpdrug]

jeyen - I vote you officio taste testa of da chinneze cuizine.
Today's ingueedient: cardboard!

[mannamaribet]

All China needs to do is keep doing what it's doing and soon it will rule the world.
Most of the world's food comes from there - it won't be hard for them to put whatever chemicals they want to make people susceptible to mind control and just take over.
But then again, the US is in such debt to China for the Iraq war that soon it will just be the United States of China anyway.
Look what we've got to look forward too!

I'm sickened by the racism in the most of your comments. "Geez those people will eat anything. No wonder they're so skinny"? Ridiculous and uninformed. Perhaps the diversity in Chinese cuisine springs from the fact that they have a population more than 4 times larger than the United States with a country slightly smaller.

The health hazards presented in this article are horrific and maybe instead of judging the innocent people who bought the baos trusting they were chemical and cardboard free, maybe we should examine the chemicals that we eat everyday in our "civilized", "Western" society.

So "bogusbones" and "cantshutup", until you realize that we're living in a global economy where it will become impossible to identify a product's company of origin, maybe you should just try and shut up. Even if you supposedly can't.

someone commented that the government needed to do something about this...they did...recently the executed the guy who is the head of what is equivalent to our FDA for taking bribes for looking the other way and approving things where there were no clinical trials/studies to back up claims, etc... not saying I agree with how they chose to handle it, but they did step in and o something because they were embarrassed about all the negative publicity as of late.

Pleeeaaaasssseee
Don't let McDonalds, Walmart, School Lunch, Nursing Home and FEMA food managers see this...
OK??? Although it may actually be an improvement over present selections...

[feedback3-2009]

Hate to break it to you "cantshutup" but you haven't stopped buying "all" Chinese products. 80% of the items at WalMart are manufactured in China just for starters.

Read some history of the food industry in this country. It's interesting that the same people who complain about government regulation and intrusiveness complain about this.

China is just getting started on the road to capital domination, they'll have their own FDA some day soon with the same overall effectiveness.

In the meatime everybody just eat a hot dog with velveeta and feel the glow of food purity.

[jsmithcsa]

How can China allow this? If this is a "once-in-a-while", it isn't news, but that doesn't appear to be the case. If it's widespread, the government needs to do something about this.

[shoujoboy-2009]

Ha oh man thats genius. You never know what you are eating until you are told. I applaud theses guys at least for the sheer creativity. But seriously... gross.

[aerodog]

cantshutup -
thanks for giving me a new adjective for idiots!! love it and will definitely start using it! (that very last word in your post)

[oleander8]

So, in this great global economy how does one know where their food comes from? or, even if they know something is American made - how do they know where the ingredients come from?

My toothpaste says "distributed by Proctor and Gamble" -- but nothing about where it's made.

[bogusbones]

Geez those people will eat anything. No wonder they're so skinny.

[sentry88]

Well at least Fluffy po Ping the cat is safe now.

[leonashepard]

Having to cut cost of production? Maybe he got one of those fluffy white envelopes with a tax increase, a picture of a lizard and an invite to discover.

[incog-nito]

U.S. consumers better get ready, because notwithstanding stories like this one, because imports from China are expected to increase substantially in the foreseeable future. Make sure you keep your antacids with you at all times, maybe even a stomach pump.

[cantshutup]

it just gets stupider and stupider each day as we hear what kind of morons they are over there in china...makin their scrap cardboard goodies and all the other toxic c*rap...doesn't bother me one bit 'cuz i stopped buying ALL CHINESE products...if i have to go without so be it...and while i'm at it, the farmers market is the only way to get locally grown fruits and veggies...everything else is from mexico where who only knows what kind of nasty is on that stuff...why the h *ell does wal-mart carry freakin green onions from mexico when they could get it local...what a bunch of f*ucktards!!!

[blackbug99]

I guess the dogs are getting harder to catch. Hmmm, I wonder if the Walmart deli carries them. Everything else in the store is chinese.
