Hypocrisy: China rejects US meat while vendor serves cardboard...

Hmmm, I thought political topics were banned from TUG. Have things changed in the Lounge?

Sorry -- that was not meant to be political - it was my idea of humor. Please delete if this is not the case.

Hey, I'm not an admin so maybe your posting will stand. I just know I've been scolded for political postings, and also I once made a "Guido" joke about busting kneecaps or something that was interpreted as stereotyping Italians and was threatened with a suspension. I think my second cousin who is Chinese-American would probably be offended by the bit your link goes to...but then again, she's not on TUG so why should I care, eh?

I'm an Asian who frequently eats "Pork buns" (although, I prefer chicken) and just thought it was interesting.

Someone (in my real life) had mentioned that people were using cardboard as a meat substitute and I thought they were joking until I saw this article.

You know the jokes about how bad and flavorless something is .. and it is equated to cardboard. In this case it is true!

Turns out it was a hoax ...

I am embarrassed but relieved at the same time ...
