Ms Kang insisted that the food served to athletes at the Olympics would exceed international health maximum allowable limits for lead standards. Fixed it for her.

Are they bringing their own mattresses as well?

The IOC should be so proud for selecting a host country with air too foul for athletes to breate and food so unsafe that countries will bring their own. That’s what this PC committee has accomplished. (By the way, I wonder if the IOC members attending will eat the local food.)

Smart,smart,smart
our atheletes need to prepare to compete, not look for a snack an hour after dinner. /sarc

Cute. They bring their own food for safety reasons and we aren’t allowed to know what foods we buy here come from China. I do think this is an insult to a host though. There could probably have been a more tactful way of handling this.

Not PC but right on target.

There could probably have been a more tactful way of handling this. Maybe this will get China to take a long hard look at it's culinary practices...............
