Everyone confesses that exertion which brings out all the powers of body
and mind is the best thing for us; but most people do all they can to
get rid of it, and as a general rule nobody does much more than
circumstances drive them to do. -Harriet Beecher Stowe, abolitionist and

It is my considered opinion that it is a lapse or
misapprehension by Gene, and not artistic license. Many
people do not know it is `bated breath', and I make a
note of it. Even if Gene were indulging artistic
license, this is no place for it, as too many people
will be misled.

It's not just the Chinese, a number of years ago there were a lot of food
scandals in Italy. Red wine made from oxblood - no grapes at all, white
bread made whiter with marble dust. Then there was Moltini sausage made
with tainted meat or was it horse meat or both....

You should read: "Learning to wok your dog."
I have six dogs at home and I am tired of walking them. I am
considering the above. I'll save $$ in buying them or the rest of my
family food.

Belgium dressed (or undressed) rabbits sold in markets have to have their
feet still attached..... Meow.....

Let me see....
The Hong Kong Flu
SARS
Avian Influenza A (H5N1)
http://www.cdc.gov/flu/avian/gen-info/facts.htm
Poisoned Pet Food
and a host of others....
The Chinese just executed the head of what amounts to their FDA (probably
because he was too greedy and someone didn't get their share of the dirty
money).
The French and Italians blamed each other for syphilis each calling it the
Italian or French disease...... Any fool knows, it came from sheep! The
Greek disease? ;-)
China an expansionist culture with 4000+ years of tradition of cheaper is
better...

Food and food service regulation must be nonexistent there. In the last
week or two, I have run across some articles including one about a
vendor who makes his pastries out of meat and cardboard, another about a
billion displaced rats from some of which became delicacies in the local
restaurants. China is one of the places I would basically never go to
on purpose, even if I had the opportunity.

The SCMP had an article more recently which said the cardboard dumpling
story was actually faked by the freelance journalists who made the film.
Bad food stories are popular in China these days, and so can be profitable
for the aspiring journalist.
In some places in China some people like to eat rat (and just about
anything else that moves), and might recognize it if they were served
it. People seldom eat wild rats any more, however, because of the great
popularity of rat poison. Never the less, be assured that tasty rat is
unlikely to be served to some unappreciative foreigner; there's enough
other people who would enjoy it.
Note that there are places with extremely fine food which import a lot of
it from China. Hong Kong is one of them. The thing is that Hong Kong
also understands the rules of import-food-from-China game, and so has
a monster government department whose job is to inspect everything
that arrives from there, and where it came from. Countries unwilling
to take care of themselves probably shouldn't be importing food from
China.
I visit China a lot, however, and I like it a lot. In all the years
I've been going there I've only gotten sick from something I ate once,
and that place I knew was a mistake before I went in (it helps to know
people who live there, though, since they are appropriately suspicious
of everything). If you are scared of China, be aware that there are a
lot of places, some only a couple of hours flight from the US, where
I've gotten much, much sicker from eating the local food, even though
these places never make the newspaper for some reason.
If you are still worried about this it might be better to just stay
home. Or, at least, stick to countries with a per-capita GDP of over
$20,000 or so, since what you are worrying about seems to be a fact
of life in poorer countries.

Sorry, I posted my note in good faith but here is a story that showed up
just today verifying what Dennis correctly reported.

The rat story is true, apparently.

My problems with China are not primarily due to being squeamish about
food. There are other reasons (human rights, etc.) why I would prefer
not to go there, unless I had to.

The same people who, too cheap to inoculate dogs from rabies in the first
place, routinely beat suspected rabid dogs to death in the middle of the
street en masse with stones and sticks. The same cheapies who export dog
furs to US department stores. The same cheapies who are killing our pets
state-side. A culture in which human and animal rights is an after thought.
That country makes a life-long liberal like me sound xenophobic. The fact
that they are 1.3 billion-strong and will overtake US in economic prowess in
near future spells disaster for humans, animals and environment.

While I'm a bit uncomfortable defending that I'll point out a
couple of things:
- They want them alive so they can make sure they're healthy (i.e.
not-poisoned) before they serve them;
- Guangdong is the place where you're likely to find the greatest
concentration of those who enjoy rat (and anything else unusual); and
- They'll be putting it on the menu as "rat", not masquerading
as something else. The $18/kilogram they are getting for it is
more than they can get for chicken or pork or goose.
Even though pretending wild rat is the good stuff might be a bit
dishonest (and I'm not even sure of that; maybe it is better, like
free-range chicken?) this is otherwise a story about the very ordinary.
Even other Chinese think people in Guangdong are a little excessive in
what they'll put on the menu, but some people do like that stuff and don't
need to be tricked into eating it. There's no accounting for taste.
If you don't want it, you don't order it and you won't get it. There
are lots of food scandles in China, but I don't think this is one.

I went by a Peking duck farm yesterday, and I was nowhere near China.
