I received a very alarming from a very close friend of mine way way back and since I have a blog I guess it's my responsibility as well to syndicate this to bring awareness to those who haven't known this yet. We already knew the recent pull out of some toy merchandise by the US from this particular country in which they outsource manufacture of toys due to the lead content found on each product. Even here in the Philippines the government banned some of the products because the studies show that these products contain formalin, a chemical that we all know is not good for our body. Yet, there is an untold story, a bigger picture... more shocking and terrifying.

THE EMAIL GOES LIKE THIS

Caveat: the enclosed 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 U.S. , China does not have laws regulating food processing.

On that note: also avoid using disposable chopsticks in the restaurant. Apparently they have been bleached to look white! We certainly don't need bleach in our body.

Enduring the pungent odour, but sometime, it get so terrible that even the most experience d of the workers would puke



Workers rushing to get the chicken de-feathered




A discarded bath tub being used to soak the bare skin dead chicken ... the contaminated water would have accelerated the decomposition process

After the colour dye, its creepy to find that they are quite tenderising
