The EPA works to protect our environment but the reality is that they put US factory workers out of jobs and allowed the problems to shift to China. Their air pollution has gotten so bad it is now impacting us.
Chinese factories have poisoned a sizable percentage of its farmland, cadmium is often mentioned. 8 million acres are unsuitable for growing food for human consumption. What do you do with all that tainted food, you either feed it to animals or sneak it back into the food supply. Given that 1/2 the rice in one major city was unsafe it seems likely that it is more profitable to do the sneaky thing. I am guessing that feeding tainted food to animals destined for the food supply is even worse because they concentrate the contaminants. To offset this China is looking to the Ukraine.
One has to wonder what the Chinese people make of all this. I only have a sample of one. This person doubted the accuracy of the reports. It could be they like their jobs and their life style and are willing to look the other way. They were thinking about quitting their job and going into business for themselves.
