Made in China diet

2  2018-04-15 by localgirlinyourarea

remember a few years ago when (and I still kind of hear it a little here around canada) everybody went on that diet where they didn’t eat anything that was packaged in China?

if I remember correctly, this is around the same timeline of when it was starting to be widely discussed about China becoming a super economy. Do you think that the American government had anything to do with the push in publicity for it in order to destabilize the Chinese market a little bit?

As an American I didn't even know that was a thing.

Go google Chinese counterfeit and tainted foods and drugs.

Google counterfeit eggs, Chinese baby formula melamine, Chinese sewage in food, gutter oil, newspaper in food, dangerous chinese food.

Go watch the thousands of videos about how dangerous food(and other things like drugs) are on YT.

I have been against everything made in China for much longer than that fad. The corrupt elements in the US govt also WANTS people to buy shitty Chinese made garbage because they are our biggest trade partner in the exchange of their shit for our money.

Also google Chinese night soil fertilizer.

Counterfeit eggs are a hoax.

Well huh, I looked at a few videos, it looks really labor intensive and it's not clear how they make the shell and pack them. I can't understand how this is cheaper than owning a few hens.

Chickens require warehouse sized farms. You have to buy the animals, feed them, water, veterinary care, medicine, climate control, quality control for the safety of the eggs. Chicken farms operate on low margins, and even lower when they are humanely farmed.

It costs about half as much overall to make literal poison counterfeit eggs as it does to grow real ones, and it can be done comparitively instant. Mix the chemicals, put them in a mold, done.

I dont remember the chemical they use to create the shell but the inside is alumina based so it gives you dementia pretty fast if you eat it.

Yokes!

very in depth reply with actual things to check out, thank you very much! hope you’re having a good day!

You should be warned, once you go down the made in China rabbit hole you will probably find it difficult and significantly more expensive to shop.

I have gone the opposite direction from the typical western consumer as a result: instead of filling my home with cheap slave labour made trash, i buy few but very nice things that tend to last forever.

oh

There's plenty of Chinese Australians making a fortune by buying foods such as baby formula and selling it back to China. It's our news every second day. As soon as stores open, there's a line up of about 10 Chinese people and they buy all the baby formula. Theyve introduced limits of 4 per customer but they're still doing it. One lady makes $100,000 a year and all she does is take orders from Chinese people, buys the stock in Australia and sends it back to the rich Chinese. They don't trust any of their products so they want to be they stuff from Australia where they know it's safe.

I actually lived in Adelaide for about 8 years so that could explain where I saw it, hahah.

that would be the life. $100,000 to be a professional grocery shopper.

Thanks for you input, though!

And ironically you get Hepatitis laced berries from China in Australia.

DOllar Tree sells food made in china but looking identical to American brands. Don't eat it!

Even the fake toothpaste they sell at shitholes like that is dangerous.

I think Americans will deny they are no longer a world economic super power, just a militarized super-power. China will over taken America economically, I believe they already have the West is just really good at propaganda.

I completely back what you’re saying. If the west is already full of Made in China products, you can only assume that the rest of the world is too!

Here in Canada nobody is pretend and the government has long talked about preparing for the "post-American world" over my lifetime Canada has been slowly moving more and more trade with China over the USA. With this current "Trade War" Trump started CBC already stated that Canada would probably side with China because they have money, pay their bills are not threatening us and don't owe our country hundreds of billions like the Americans do.

I mean, that’s pretty fair! from a curiosity standpoint I’m super interested to see what’s going to happen, but also terrified lmao

Canada is being colonized by China lol. Why do you think Canadians cant afford to buy houses in areas that the Chinese have mass immigrated to?

How is it any different than America forcing it's investments on us? A lot of Canadians are very wealthy just dumb af with their money compared to the Chinese.

Trade with the USA isnt parasitic like it is China. And the USA isnt colonizinv Canadian cities full of US citizens that dont speak the language and driving up real estate prices so high that its impossible for Canadians to buy houses in some areas like the Chinese are.

Yes it is American corporations rule through military bullying.

And communism produces deadly fake drugs and food in China. Its not a fad to avoid Chinese made toxic shit. Its common sense.
