Chinese cardboard bun story said to be fake:
A China journalist has been arrested for fabricating a report about street vendors who used chemical-soaked cardboard to fill meat buns, state media says.Hmmm. Somehow I don't think arresting journalists for toxic Chinese food stories will make us trust the Chinese government and their food production right now.
The Beijing municipal government said investigations had found that the Beijing Television freelance reporter had fabricated the story for higher audience ratings, the China Daily reported.
The report by the journalist, surnamed Zi, had come amid a spate of real food scares and added to local and international concerns about made-in-China products.
Nice try, though...

ReplyDeleteNo kidding. How does arresting a journalist help those of us who eat food exported from China to stay this side of the grave?
Indeed. I heave a mighty sigh;
Arrests don't help for me.
Who cares about his X and Y...
I worry 'bout my Zi.

ReplyDeleteChina's food contamination
Is just a one time aberration
Ignore all things slightly chemical
For people are just being polemical
All that China wants before they beat it
Is for you to pay for your food before you eat it
ellroon, that sounds positively Tom Lehrer-esque!
