Mao was scum. The revisionist filth in Beijing are his offspring.

One look at the rice, and I think it would be good for a lot of 'fake' weddings - I mean, weddings that don't have a chance of lasting!! OK, enough wedding stuff.

I wonder why anyone would manufacture 'fake' rice? Is rice expensive in Southeast Asia?? All I know is that organic rice is $4-$5 a pound here in the States, but that is Organic, real rice. Does rice go bad in possibly humid environments?

Anyway, fake rice is no more ridiculous that our use of styrofoam for packaging everything when shredded paper would do just as well.

Shame the article didn't say what kind of plastic. A lot of plastics pass through the bowels unchanged and unabsorbed. I suspect it's just a filler, like poor people in Zimbabwe would eat clay just to make themselves feel full.

Without knowing what kind of plastic, one can't jump to any conclusion about "danger". The Korea Times is just sensationalizing.

And yet, more tasty foody!
Blue Glowing Pork Meat Found In Shanghai
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'S')hanghai city resident purchased “blue glow pork”, both surprised and afraid.
Miss Chen the purchased a kilogram of pork from a wet market on Yang Gao North Road the day before yesterday. That night her family used a portion of that pork to make dumplings together. Afterward, she placed the leftover pork on a small table in the kitchen. At 11pm, Miss Chen got out of bed to use the toilet, and suddenly noticed a faint blue glow coming from the kitchen, and that the bright blue glow was coming from the pork itself!

In order to be sure she wasn’t seeing things, Miss Chen woke up her family to look at this piece of strange meat together. The pork glowed in the dark but returned to “normal” in the morning. Both astonished and afraid, Miss Chen’s family did not dare to eat from this piece of pork again.

Yesterday afternoon, this reporter rushed to Miss Chen’s home and saw this piece of glowing pork. This reporter noticed that the remaining 500+ gram of pork was in the shape of a strip, with more lean meat than fat, and though it had already been purchased for over a day, there was no peculiar smell.

This reporter, through multiple tests in the dark and light, truly did see the pork emit a faint blue light, that apart from the pig’s skin, the entire piece of pork was suffused with blue light, and a faint blue glow could also be seen on fingers that had handled the pork. This reporter afterward intentionally washed this piece of pork with water and again checked in a dark place, but the pork still emitted a blue glow, only just slightly more faint.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('americandream', 'C')orporate fascists know no bounds in the pursuit of profit. We saw this with the Germans and now the Chinese. I have absolutely NO time for the renegades in Beijing who have turned the sound idea of a scientific social order into an unseemly spectacle of greed and am hardly surprised.

I stick to brands I trust. Those criminals should be severely punished.
