Chinese flour has 30% pulverized limestone

BEIJING - Recent investigations have found that some bleaching agents widely used in flour production contain as much as 30 percent pulverized lime, a substance that has been linked to health problems.
"Before the Spring Festival this year, the company purchased four trucks' worth of pulverized lime, with each truck carrying 40 tons. An average of 1 jin (0.5 kg) of pulverized lime was added to every 4 jin of the bleaching agent," a local insider was quoted as saying.
The normal price of bleaching agent is 11,000 yuan ($1,611) per ton, but the one from the Yuzhong company was only sold at only 9,000 yuan per ton.
Such news did not surprise some people within the industry. "Their low prices resulted from adding pulverized lime," a salesperson from another bleaching agent company in Henan said upon learning about the other company's lower price.

I am actually amazed by no reported death; you can eat limestone powder and not die???

The melamine milk was exposed only after hundreds of children drinking the milk started dying...

I swear to god, with all of the shit the Chinese pull with their food, in a few generations they'll have mutant babies and whatnot.

It's a free market worshipper's dream.  No rules capitalism!  OK, they do have rules against poisoning your customers I think, but unless you get caught that is.

That would be a true statement if China was a true capitalistic society. They're not true communist either, but that's besides the point.

Okay, I'm sorry about that, couldn't resist. But seriously, these things happen there. The government of China treats its citizens like shit, man. You really cannot do much about it. Honestly they should have had a successful revolution back in '89 in Tiananmen Square but for some odd reason it didn't work out over there like it did in most of the other communistic nations that same year.

If you hate the Chinese so much why don't you make a virus for it?
