I grew up in Africa. My friends lived in rusty corrugated iron shacks so 
you can spare me the cushioned life sermon even if I have exactly gone 
through the same experience myself.

Ask those who got sick and the relatives of those few cases why the 
consumer died.

In the melamine case, would you like to interview the thousands of 
families affected?

Maybe me own home reared talipia. Goes very nicely with basil I hear. 
(stay away from any shrimp reared inland - whether from Thailand, 
Malaysia, Indonesia, wherever)

Guess why I don't like taking antibiotics and using chemical 
antibacterial soaps.

What? Shackled calfs in standing room only stalls? Cooped up chickens 
without feathers?

I don't know about you but I feel a bit different about stuff that has 
been treated and stuff that has not quite gone through the same process.

Nope, but I have read about the HGH you get in McDonalds. Enjoy your beef!

All you have said has just served to show that the mainland Chinese 
really do things on a different level. Whatever is done in Western 
countries, they will take it and go further.
