China's poor treated to fake rice made from plastic

~

Let's see. Plastic is made from petroleum. Now BP is getting us to eat the stuff. I know it's already in our seafood in the Gulf of Mexico, but in rice?

China's history with food safety is a rocky one, but even in the annals of robbery and abuse, this will go down in infamy.

Various reports in Singapore media have said that Chinese companies are mass producing fake rice made, in part, out of plastic.

The "rice" is made by mixing potatoes, sweet potatoes and plastic.

The potatoes are first formed into the shape of rice grains. Industrial synthetic resins are then added to the mix. The rice reportedly stays hard even after being cooked.
