This is a link to an interesting BBC article about recent food safety issues in China and how these issues are prompting some to grow their own food. The food scares are strange: glow-in-the-dark meat, exploding watermelons, melamine-tainted baby formula. What I found sad is that only those with the time and money can grow their own food. Poorer citizens are at the mercy of the food industry producing the unsafe food.
BBC: Wealthy Chinese begin farming after food-safety scares
Very interesting story. Perhaps the poor peasants, who live in the rural areas, do not have these problems. The Chinese government has never seemed to worry much about their citizens.
