What Kills Us This Week!

We're back! And this week it's such a big one, I'm not laughing!

You know how China has had food scandal after food scandal - toxic vegetables, noodles, soy sauce, fish, cooking oil, dumplings, tofu, eggs, alcohol, and the last big one, MILK - and so has vowed that it will overhaul the country's food safety standards to the best international levels and beef up inspections, controls etc etc etc so it stops happening. Well ...

... turns out that when they took melamine out of the milk, which was put in to top up the protein levels so you didn't know it was watered down, that instead of just giving everyone pure milk, they kept watering it down and adding, to beef up the protein levels, something called hydrolysed leather, made out of the waste from hide tanning factories, the main ingredient of which is ...

... HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM ...

... and there's a reason you know that name: "Erin Brockovich"! You've seen that film, right? Remember the "bad, bad stuff"; "highly toxic, highly carcinogenic. It gets into your DNA so you pass on the trouble to your kids." Remember that? Well, THAT'S what we're talking about here, and THAT'S what China has been adding to the milk!

And, to compound the wrong, you recall how China promised to allow the press more freedom to report on food scares? Can you believe they tried to hush this one up too?!

Now everyone is saying "China can't be relied on for ANYTHING!" and there's a lot of bad will around the place! There's also a LOT of talk among HK-Chinese that in Mainland China, morals have decayed to a degree where they willfully kill people for dollar-profit and so, in the long run, there has to be a lot less Communism and a lot more Buddhism!

So that's definitely my choice for this week:

THREATDOWN

The morals of CCP cadres and their cronies!
