Chinese fake rice is on shelves


China famous for having all, making all, has now been reported to have made rice out of plastic and has distributed it.

The Korean-language Weekly Hong Kong in Hong Kong quoted Singapore media that “Fake rice made out of plastic is massively sold on the Chinese market.”

According to the report, some distributors are selling fake rice in Taiyuan, Shaanxi Province, and this rice is a mixture of potatoes, sweet potatoes and plastic.

“This ‘plastic rice’ is made by forming potatoes and sweet potatoes into rice-like shape, then adding industrial synthetic resins,” said a food expert. “Since the rice is different from normal rice, it is hard like stone even when cooked. Moreover, the synthetic resin in it is very harmful to the human body.”

One Chinese restaurant association official warns that eating three bowls of ‘plastic rice’ is the same as eating one vinyl bag. He added that since the rice is very dangerous there would be strict investigation on the rice factory.

In the mean time, merchants say that as the fake rice can leave huge profits, it is still sold in mass quantity.

This is not the first time for fake rice e sold in China. A Chinese television report has alleged that a company in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, has been producing a fake version of high-quality "Wuchang rice" by adding flavoring to ordinary rice.

As someone who lives just south of the Chinese border, getting these unhealthy and fake goods from China is a concern.

I do not buy any spirits. If you buy a bottle of capped and sealed single malt scotch the chances are, it's fake. Even a $50 bottle. This happened again 2 nights ago when someone in our group bought a bottle of top-end scotch for new years.

Two years ago, there were high levels of poison in the soy sauce that was the most common brand.

NYC fleamarkets are stuffed with Morgans,Canadian dollars etc made from some gook tin alloy that looks like exactly silver but is lighter.
Often the coins are roughly made and have grammar mistakes, always bigger than the originals to compensate for the weight difference.

I think most ancient Greek and Roman coins are gook fakes too.

I think the only thing that comes from China that doesn't have lead in it ... is Chinese lead.

A consequence of a debt-based economy.
