Made in China

Keith Hayward has sent this message.
There must have been photographs but since the photographs have not
come through and the language is quite vivid, it explains everything.


WATCH WHAT YOU BUY
ESPECIALLY HIGHLINER FISH PRODUCTS;
all come from China, even though the box says 'product of Canada
' it is from China and 'processed' in Canada.
The coating is added and packaged.
The fish are raised in pens using chemicals that are banned in Canada
as cancer causing but legal in China.
This was exposed on CBC TV's Marketplace

Well are you enjoying seeing Chinese food
popping up in your supermarket left and right?
Have you noticed you can't buy a single package of fish that isn't made in China (or Vietnam)?
Do you think your food from China is processed in a sanitary manner and thus safe to eat?
Take a look at this.

REMEMBER WAL-MART is one of the LARGEST BUYERS OF CHINESE PRODUCTS.
THINK ABOUT IT.

These undercover pictures speak a thousand words.
Avoid buying all processed food packaged in China.
Anything goes!
We just don't know what else is in those packages
Unlike in the US AND CANADA,
China does not have laws regulating food processing.
Basically do not buy any processed food from China.
Also Hong Kong too.
MANY companies are using a Hong Kong address to
avoid this type of image reputation.

Early dawn starts the day by riding around to collect dead chickens.
Asking around for dead chickens.
Total of 5 riders are hired by the boss to ride to farms to buy dead chickens.
A dead chicken cost 1 RMB and would be sold at 9 RMB after processing.
Storage for the dead chickens in the courtyard.
Carcasses are thrown everywhere and on the floor....

Four employees start de-feathering the dead
fowl after soaking in boiling water from a rusty wok.
enduring the pungent odor, but sometimes it
gets so terrible that even the most experienced of the workers would puke.

Workers rushing to get the chickens de-feathered.

A discarded bathtub being used to soak the bare skin dead chickens.
The contaminated water would have accelerated the decomposition process.

Wearing slippers walking among the chickens before the coloring processing.

After the color dye, it’s creepy to find that they are quite tenderized.

And now presenting the mouth watering Charcoal Roasted Chicken.

Do NOT buy food originating in China (or Vietnam or Thailand)
Take the time to read the labels and look for country of origin.
STOP BUYING ANYTHING FROM CHINA.
.PERIOD.


Although the above is being said for China, it could very well be applicable to India or Pakistan or any of the under-developed countries.
With an exploding population, poverty, low wages and people scrounging through dump yards for collecting waste which they could sell and earn a living.
We "bhadralok"people cover our noses with handkerchiefs when we pass even ten feet away from the dump yards visible in any locality. The smell becomes particularly revolting when the municipal trucks disturb the layers to collect the waste.
And yet there are people probing the dump with sticks to collect useful, sellable matter.
It is unfortunate that most of the world is made up of these people and comparative small population consisting of countries whom you could count on the fingers of your two hands who can go through or afford the stringent quality control the West is used to.
