(NaturalNews) The Chinese food contamination freak show is back in full
swing with new reports out of Singapore indicating that certain Chinese
companies are now mass producing and selling fake rice to unwitting
villagers. According to a report in the Korean-language Weekly Hong Kong,
the manufacturers are blending potatoes, sweet potatoes, and plastic
industrial resin to produce the imitation rice.

Unfortunately, your argument fails due to the fact that the
adulteration is occurring in COMMUNIST workers' paradises like China
and Vietnam. And even in capitalist AmeriKKKa, there are strict laws
regarding product labeling; if plastic is not listed as an ingredient
on the food product label, it would be illegal (assuming the Obama
administration felt inspired to enforce the law).

However, while adulterating food products is reprehensible, I can't
help but feel a twinge of satisfaction in seeing humans forced to
consume the garbage they discard. Maybe if people realized that all

Aside from the fact that China isn't particularly communist, it's
still the very same deregulation that you demand. It's the freedom to
put garbage in food without having the government tell you that you may
not.
