There are so many food stories about China these days. Here in Taiwan they won't buy this sort of bristly crab (called "hairy crabs", named for the bristles all over its body) from China because the Chinese crabs definitely have a cancer causing chemical polluting them.

And two years ago there was a big warning about not eating one popular holiday treat imported from China (pork and sticky rice wrapped in green bamboo leaves, shaped like fat triangles) because unscrupulous vendors had added mercury, I believe, which kept the bamboo leaves green longer so they could sell more of them. Never mind that mercury is a fatal toxin!

The moral-less mainland Chinese are at least showing an impressive knowledge of chemistry. Too bad it's only to destroy humans with for a quick buck.

"The moral-less mainland Chinese are at least showing an impressive knowledge of chemistry. Too bad it's only to destroy humans with for a quick buck."

I think that rather than dump toxic waste, Chinese try to make a buck off it. Feeding it to humans seems to be a popular method. Another seems to be incorporating it into other materials such as recycled plastics, glass, paints, anything where it can be used as a filler. They even recycle waste animal bones into valuable -billion year old- fossil bones to sell evolutionists looking for that missing link, a big government grant and their name in a journal.
