      (2 Timothy 3) (KJV)
      This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
      (Romans 1: 28-32) (God's Wrath Against Sinful Humanity) (NIV)
      Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

      This report is so biased. How can Mr Wu guarantee his food is safe. Does he farm the pigs for the pork?Does he grow the wheat for the flour? Even though his standard is ethical, how can you guarantee the raw ingredients he uses are sourced from ethical suppliers? His customers are made to believe his high moral standards but not knowing the real root of the problem....the lack of government accountability.

      I and my minors would starve to death as I can't knowingly eat what is fake. Somethings are worse than death, that is why I get very annoyed at times when doctors intervene after the birth of a child rather than let time rule. There are people who can't see or hear, understand in anyway, can't develop any kind of muscle coordintion, have no bladder or bowel control, don't know how to smile or laugh. If such a baby stays alive when you do not intervene, then so be it. Some individuals asked to be euthanized because somethings are worse than death. I wouldn't personally try to involve another. However, everthing exposed there is the modern reality where food is mass produced. Foods are coloured with insect. Insects play a big role in the preparation of many food by products. The poorest of people are privy to such things but they don't have a voice for fear of losing their jobs and in some places certain death, organised by the accused. Someone got very devious and said he'd give people taste, but not the natural flavours that humans were used to. His aim was compelling tastes, that is why people buy processed foods and drinks all the time because their tastes are embedded in people's brains. It is the tastes that people keep rembering. It is not "It is time for my next meal of the day", meaning that enough time has elapsed since the previous meal, especially if one is diabetic, or that the person needs the energy to continue a task or employment for the remaining of the day. So that is what nutrition in the hands of corporations is about- just taste, the true root of obesity. Goverments, scientists and nutritionists have not figured it out as yet, that is why there is commercial diet after commercial diet and reality weight loss after reality weight loss. No one has worked out the solution is organic, that is food production by the sun, the rain, birds and insects. The only human intervention is to pull up, pull off or cut off and shake down what is edible. What the insects and birds fed on, what fell to the ground, including the leaves are nutrients for the soil that nature will convert to be absorbed. That is what I know. We looked out the front, we looked out the back and saw various colours as time went on and all we did was throw out seeds and some of the food items that were not edible. We did not even dig up the soil to do the planting. When we were preparing food, we threw out what we wouldn't eat. That was it!

America bullies and invades small countries, so China is justified to bully little Taiwan and invade the South Seas. So, if the standard of American food safety is low, it justifies the Chinese being immoral in producing poisonous food for their own people。还是那句话,你隔壁的大妈偷汉子,你妈就可以理直气壮地偷汉子了吗?

    One topic they didn't talk about here was nutritional value. Take the fake noodle soup for example. Let's pretend they found zero toxic chemicals. Since it contains almost no real ingredients, it probably has zero nutritional value. So you can eat it everyday, feel full, but still be starving your body. Since the fake stuff is cheap to make, it's likely also cheap to buy, so this is an issue that may disproportionately impact people who are poorer and already vulnerable to malnutrition. It's problematic even without toxic additives.

    Me, being a Chinese who emigrated abroad in the 80s, I think the ingredients for this mess are:
    - People smart enough to know how to cheat
    - Heartless, greedy people (as everywhere else of course)
    - People trying to improve their lives doing "whatever it takes"
    - A generation of people who are no longer extremely poor but in their mind they are afraid to go back to that state
    - Government that still favors good economy, end of hunger, over good quality of life.
    Remember guys, China is labeled as the 1st economy of the world but it is because of the quantity of trade, don't let this confuse you, what really matters is the income per person(GDP per Capita) that means how much money each person generates, and in this list China is 71st, even below Mexico. China is still struggling to feed its own people which is a priority right now. I really think that someday when China has stabilized its society, these problems will be eliminated completely. Why I think this? Because, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore are full of Ethnic Chinese people and these societies has proven that Chinese people are capable of living with better standards. But China is right now like a man recently release from captivity into the city and started to live a new modern life, has plenty to change, plenty to adapt to, but he still have some bad habits from the recent past.

      China Diaspora you sound very patriotic to the country. However you over looked the geographic size and population difference compared to Taiwan Singapore and so on. Those Chinese in my opinion have a different mind set than Chinese people in China. Also smaller land mass and population. Also early adoption to capitalism engaged a middle class who has the power to demand higher standards. The Chinese population mind set are comfortable as followers. Yes in the future regulations will improve but doesn't excuse the disregard and acceptance by the Chinese people to cause sickness to their fellow human beings. Remember the entire base of the current Chinese political system was stolen from the Chinese republic who now resides in Taiwan.

      ​@@vicariouswitness I disagree with you. Not wanting to fight, just to discuss things.
      I'm not patriotic in a way that I like the communist party or the politics, I just have love for my people because I'm part of that ethnicity and I feel some degree of belonging.
      You said that the current political system was copied from Taiwan, I don't know, but you might be right, but then, so was the communist idea, it was copied from the Russians. Decades later they realized it didn't work, so they copied the capitalist model and it's kind of working right now. At least China is doing trial and error, because look at what other countries like India have done in this whole time, not much.
      I strongly believe that Chinese people can change despite of its population size as you mentioned. Because remember that since the 80s hundreds of millions of Chinese people got out of poverty by themselves just as soon as the government freed the market.
      Don't get me wrong, I don't think China will ever be better than USA or Europe in terms of new ideas, order or organization, but it surely can get closer to be as nice as Japan at least.

    I am a big fan of AJE and 101 East, but one thing that has really annoyed me about this episode was the segment about the little girl you filmed with Kidney stones. Her mother took a huge risk taking your producer into a state run hospital with hidden cameras... Particularly after, by your own admission, she had already been threatened with arrest if she kept protesting publicly. At the very least, both for your production integrity and to help the mother be able to strengthen her own claims, AJ should have paid for the girl to have been independently tested at a specialist medical clinic, not a huge cost given the risk her mother had taken. I found the lack of this both shoddy journalism and ethicly quite inexcusable. It's particularly stunning concidering the underlying narrative of this story is how large organisations cut corners to save money. This was really quite ironic, because you did exactly the same thing in putting an already vulnerable family at a huge risk of repercussions from the government authorities who had already threatened them. You could have at least helped them to provide the evidence that they needed and also added more evidence to backup your own statements.

      holmiumh: To be honest, I'm not really following you with either of your comments. I really don't think it's too complicated. Everything has the possibility of having a negative reaction, so I'm not sure what your original comment was trying to convey? It seems you were saying not to challenge power over fear of retaliation or negative repercussions. Yes, China doesn't respond well to negative press, understood... But nor does any country. What you seem to be saying, is China would go to war over AJE making a negative documeny about food standards in their own country. A documentary, broadcast on a news network that can't be watched by its own people, and then later syndicated on a streaming platform that is also banned in that country and in a language that many of the population don't speak. To be honest I think the Chinese government have bigger fish to fry than this documentary that will be unlikely to ever see the light of day within China... Even if that fried fish were to be a fake fish made from industrial fillers. AJ are also a news network normally very unafraid of blowback, they regularly take on power and get their fair share of retaliation. Ironically, and to follow up on your "we may as well ask the US to nuking China" comment, Al Jazeera have themselves had their overseas news bureau's bombed in in retaliation for 'negative' news stories. One time it was in retaliation for negotive press towards the US and it's coalition after a British MP encouraged the US to include a AJ news bureau in its airstrcks, to which the US happy obliged and badly executed. On at least two other occasions, the US have bombed other AJ bureau's. It was also very well documented that in 2005 president Bush had been speculating about a U.S. bombing raid on AJ's world headquarters in Doha and other locations. As the story goes, the only reason they didn't go ahead was due to British PM Blair, persuading Bush not to take action. In short, I'm not entirely sure that the U. S. 'World Police' are ever a good solution for problems around the globe, unless they find a way to make it benefit themselves. Everything is connected, but we seem to have strayed a long way from chemical wonton noodle soup and a girl with Gallstones.

The US food inspection process is not even prepared to deal with what is showing up in our food. High pesticide levels will not kill someone outright - but will raise cancer rates.
      Some products are already sourced directly from China. Take a look at the frozen fish area in Walmart. Yes, the fish are real but they are grown in coastal fish farms in China. These frozen fish are only spot inspected prior to be putting on sale at Walmart. What is the likelihood these fish are not contaminated with mercury and heavy metals?

But I don't think they can be so inhumane, I think it was just a lapse in oversight, and now I believe they have started enforcing the food regulations more strictly. In fact, they removed the 1-child policy, because they don't want the population to become an "aging" population, they want more kids to be born. It makes no sense to let everyone be poisoned into dysfunction, because just imagine the monstrous health-care situation the State will then be faced with in about 20-25 years from now. Doesn't make sense.

    Thank you for this brave and well-crafted documentary. I have been dating a Chinese international student for 5 years now. Every year his family gets him to buy baby formula and vitamins in Canada and ship them back to China, because they don't feel safe using the stuff at home. It's an incredible tragedy how Chinese citizens can't even be guaranteed the right to breathe fresh air when they go outside or to eat real food when they go out to eat. But the whole world is going to become a soup of pollution and toxins if drastic steps aren't taken to make change.
