no food for hong kong
yes, finding food in hk is a bit difficult. deadly bacteria in pigs, high levels of pesticide in vegetables, poision in fish, bird flu in chickens. not many choices left on what's for dinner. the difficult part is regulating how food is produced in china. the government doesn't really give a fuck since there's so many mouths to feed and without all the chemicals, hormones, etc., there's no way to produce all the food needed.
"Compared to many other food exporting nations, regulations in China are just not good enough," said Chu Hon-keung of the conservation group Friends of the Earth.
"For money, producers cut corners and use banned substances at the expense of public health. The stuff they produce is not food, but curses for future generations in Hong Kong and the rest of the world, especially with globalization," Chu said.
my father was telling me how japan grows eel in china, which they then import back to japan so they can stick the damn "made in japan" label on it so they can charge more. well that little plan backfired, didn't it?
shows that i'm hoping to watch this season: weeds, barbershop, gilmore girls, and the l word.
"weeds" is about this suburban mom, whose husband died suddenly, and in order to continue to continue to live the lifestyle she's accustomed to, she is forced to deal weed (duh!) within her community. mary louise parker, the mom, is really good in it.
"barbershop" is basically a series based on the movie (the one with ice-cube). the first episode was pretty funny. and there were a lot of cussing going on, which is ace in my book. fuck anyone who hates the curse words.
"gilmore girls" is well... lauren graham is hot. that's all you need to know.
"the l word" has gratuitous nudity, enough said. of course, there's that whole storyline about jenny (mia krishner) that baffles both deidra and myself.
so hopefully, i get to watch them. but with the way things are sorting out... looks to be a really busy semester. *sigh*
