South Korea bannd fermented cabbage? How bad does it have to be....?
When I lived in South Korea, the idea was you took cabbage, red pepper, and vinegar, put it in a clay pot, and buried it in the backyard. Kimchee. Yum.
So...how bad does it have to be, that they ban it?
“The US subjects only a small fraction of its food imports to close inspection, but each month rejects about 200 shipments from China, mostly because of concerns about pesticides, antibiotics and misleading labelling. In February, inspectors blocked peas tainted by pesticides, dried plums containing banned additives, pepper contaminated with salmonella and crayfish that were filthy.”
YIKES.
This is a country that could care less if a billion died and we get our vitamins from them?
I cannot imagine choosing food imported from China, given all that's already well-known about their environmental atrocities and degradation. The whole country is a superfund dump, as far as I can discern, their falsefront economy and empty rows of skyscrapers notwithstanding. I bet all those finely honed Olympic athletes are just thrilled to read about what the local talent will be preparing for them in Peking next year.
This cannot be, I have been time and again that socialist-commie governments take care of everything and everyone.
Now don’t you want to just run out and spend thousands of bucks on air fare and tickets for the Beijing Olympics? You would have to be insane...
Fake milk powder. How ingenious. That’s another way to deal with a growing population.
then have someone expose how much of a bonus these bastards got for buying tainted goods for our food supply...
OK, my little garden patch is getting an expansion this year.
Fortunately I live in an agricultural area where I can get homegrown strawberries, corn, peas, and other veggies I don’t grow myself.
