    This is so horrible... but I'm somewhat impressed. In a very disgusted way.

    "Chinese proverb: when eggs are sold, we just leave there right away"

    lol those ancient chinese proverbs are so wise :xd:

    mmm this makes me a little worried about buying eggs from like wal-mart now. Definitely going to keep a closer eye on this.
     
  3. i guess purchasing eggs at the regular supermarket is the safer bet..

    What I think is rather short sighted is the closing comment by one of the speakers, in which she says "...food safety in China is really a problem..." and "I'm so sorry for Chinese people..."

    I hate to break it to you honey, but China is fast becoming one of the biggest food. food products and food component exporters in the world. Most of what we eat has at least one, two or more ingredients made or origin in China, whether it's food coloring to the plastic packaging that it comes in. I would venture to say that it is probably impossible to buy any US commercial retail food product that does not have at least one part of its physical form not touched by a Chinese derived manufacturing process.

    If you think fake eggs are bad:

    And some food for thought...

    What the world needs to frankly realize is, that the food we eat is increasingly made in a Chinese kitchen.

    YUCK .. just disgusting. I am speechless. Genetic altered food is a prob in the US but with fake foods .. hmm .. where and when will such ends .. I just hope whatever they're doing, it doesn't harm others. Have a conscience at the very least.

    You know, I've been doing a lot of thinking about that, that is, the types of harmful things that people do to others without an inkling of remorse. This behavior of course, is not specific to Chinese (or to China for that matter), as dirt bags the world over, who take advantage of unknowing strangers is obviously nothing new.

    However, what is unique to the Chinese milieu is the fact of the 31 year old One Child Policy. Most Chinese born to this latest generation have no real familial ties to anyone except their parents or spouse. There is no longer a sense of extended family as (for most), siblings, cousins, uncles or aunts, simply do not exist. Research previously has shown that single children have unique socialization hurdles when compared to those born and reared with siblings. While a small percentage of single child homes probably has minor societal impact, I'm not so sure of settings like China, where nearly all are products of single child rearing.

    IMHO, such a society harbors heightened or exaggerated anonymity and as such, decreases the personal sense of social responsibility that one normally relies on to preclude from participation in such behaviors. Recalling the central theme in Cameron Diaz's 2009 movie, The Box (in which a couple would be granted monetary gain, but with knowledge that such gain would come at the expense of death to a stranger); the response to such an ethics question for each person would be different dependent upon their own individual moral compass.

    My question thus, is in which direction would being the product of a single child society (and not simply a single child family), skew that decision. My personal fear is that this latest generation of Chinese in China, as a direct outgrowth of the One Child Policy, are probably less likely to feel constrained by social responsibility.
