There Goes My Appetite
A: “BEIJING–Chopped cardboard, softened with an industrial chemical and made tasty with pork flavouring, is a main ingredient in batches of steamed buns sold in one Beijing neighbourhood, state television said. Squares of cardboard picked from the ground are first soaked to a pulp in a plastic basin of caustic soda (a chemical base commonly used in manufacturing paper and soap) then chopped into tiny morsels with a cleaver. Fatty pork and powdered seasoning are stirred in.”
Me: And right now, the Texas State Fair is figuring out how to deep-fry it and put it on a stick.
B: Considering the cardboard, it probably has more nutritional value than most things they deep fry and put on a stick.
C: As long as it’s not in transfatty oil, what’s the problem?
