BIOLOGICAL WAR-FEAR: Seafood imports from China raised in untreated sewage

...they are filthy, are contaminated with pesticides and tainted with carcinogens, bacteria and banned drugs.

Bon apetit.

No doubt vended from one of Wal-Mart's Superstore seafood section.

ping!

I have an idea. Take the billions the President is sending to despots in Africa to “fight AIDS” and use that money to inspect the food shipped from China. When are we going to demand that our government do a better job of serving the citizens of the USA with our money?

[Realism]

Eat up America, you get what you pay for.

[GFritsch]

Our government has spent billions of dollars to assist the seafood industries of China, Viet Nam and Cambodia. Meanwhile, our shrimping industry is dying. It is 1/3 of its size before our government began proping up the Asian industry.

When you look in your market's seafood display case look closely. There are only a few species of fish caught in America. The rest are from Asia and some South American countries.

I've visited several Asian countries. In a lot of areas, the sanitation and plumbing are third-world, at best. A lot of open sewers. This report does not surprise me at all.

I'm just surprised no one has gotten deathly ill before this.

China became the leading exporter of seafood to the U.S. in 2004 – and amounts are rising fast.

This is frightening.

In rural Nepal, human waste is used for crop fertilizer. It's an observable fact, and on any major trekking route you will see cultivated fields dotted with the telltale pink toilet paper that is sold throughout the country.I have not seen it myself, but reliable sources have talked about the fish farms they've seen in rural China. Some fish ponds are also used as village restrooms. Connect the dots.

Apparently the resulting "crop" is considered a local delicacy, because the fish are fatty and well fed, but it is not exported outside of China. Let's hope so.

You beat me to it! Thanks for the ping. LOL

Badboy China ping.

[traumer]

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR !

[SoftballMominVA]

We wanted cheap - we got cheap. Hope it goes down smooth.

How do we find out which companies in the U.S. are using these products from China?

[P-40]

Usually it is right on the label. Ask your grocer if they have anything produced locally.

On a recent visit to China, a friend spotted this ad in a Beijing newspaper. He sent me the photo with a translation of the ad copy.

BECOME AN ENTREPRENEUR AND JOIN CHINA’S NEW MONIED ELITE!

Yes, you can now join the millions of happy and prosperous Chinese citizens taking advantage of the growing numbers of American and Western multinational corporations “outsourcing” their production to the hard-working and industrious people of China. This outsourcing has now spread to their food supplies and ingestible items. Since these firms pay us for gross weight – and this new weight will be pretty gross – and the stupid American government only spot-checks imported items in these categories (they just got lucky on the anti-freeze thing), it has opened an entirely new opportunity which our beloved Chairman is offering to any Chinese citizen willing to do a little of what the foolish Americans call “grunt work.”

Installing one of these state-of-the-art food additive production facilities behind YOUR hovel is as simple as clipping the coupon below and sending it to the address shown. Your production plant will be shipped to you in 4 to 6 weeks. Supplies are limited so don’t fart around. ACT NOW!!

These silly Americans have an expression we have “borrowed” and modified to describe this new and exciting venture: “Don’t give me any s**t.”

Our motto will be “We won’t give any s**t. But we’ll SELL it to you fools at a really great price.”

AND LOOK FOR A NEW DROP-DEAD MONEY-MAKER COMING SOON. SOYLENT YELLOW PROMISES TO BE BIG!!

[SE Mom]

Thanks. I thought that was the case- but heard differently somewhere last week- don’t recall where.

[P-40]

Sometimes the labels are extremely deceptive though...so something may be ‘assembled’ in the U.S. but it came from who knows where.

When you look in your market's seafood display case look closely. There are only a few species of fish caught in America. The rest are from Asia and some South American countries.

If our government and the greenies owuld stop over regulating our fishing industry we wouldn't need to be importing seafood from 3rd world countries.

If I don't catch it myself, I buy my fish and shellfish from them that do catch it.

[Gabz]

Just another reason I only buy fish and shellfish from people I know who doing the catching......that is when I don’t catch it myself.

Walmart is almost done expanding a store near me in Wasilla, Alaska to a Superstore.

I somehow think Alaskans being what we are and we are pretty smart about what we eat will for the most part not buy any food from the supermarket section, there is however a sad minority that lives in one room shacks and may find better prices albeit perhaps just a few pennies less than other stores a better bargain.

Our famioly will absolutely not buy any food stuffs from a Walmart supercenter, we did in Orlando once and we all got sick.

Do the chinese have no idea about cleanliness? They are responsible for bird flu and now this? Time to cut them off. (And lay off Was Mart, please.)
