[quote=zk][quote=flu] We are so far away from the (lack of ) food safety in China it’s not even close. not by a long mile.

Totally beside the point. You indicated that eating uninspected food is uncivilized. I pointed out that the political party you seem to support thinks that leaving inspection up to the wolves running the henhouse (and thus probably eating uninspected food) is ok.
Of course, just because you (seem to) support the republican party in general doesn’t mean you support all their policies. If you think eating uninspected food is uncivilized, it seems like you’d be against that particular proposal.[/quote]
No, I said the entire food system in China is uncivilized
including everything
1) eating wild uninspected animals
2) being able to sell wild uninspected animals on the free market
3) having virtually no food product safety standard enforced at the local level because of all the Corruption
4) people accepting this as acceptable.
You brought up the unrelated bent on Republicans and which had nothing to do with China’s problem. This isn’t the first time China had such a widespread public health issue. First it was SARS and their pathetic attempt to cover up the severity it. And then it was the melamine that the government also covered up and downplayed the severity.
You are crazy if you comparing the Chinese government to the Republicans… The worst Republicans and Progressives are still light years ahead of the shit that goes on in China.
None of you people have any idea how bad things are there, because most of you who see the Chinese here in the US are the top 1% of the privileged population.
Anyway, I don’t care if you want to go eat food manufactured in China. If you want to take a chance, by all means go for it. Your life, your choice. It’s just bizzare to see people even attempt to make comparisons to politicians here versus in China.
