The problem of tainted meat is caused by our feed-plot practice, which 
necessitated large amount of antibiotics, which in turn engenders a 
virulent strain of e. coli. It couldn't happen in Denmark, where 
antibiotics in cattle feed is not allowed. Note, however, that there was 
a recall. In china, there would have been none because nobody tests.

Mattel took responsibility for failing to do what the Chinese government 
should have done. The "admission" was coerced as a condition of 
continuing to do business in China. Even though the U.S. product 
inspection program has been drastically been curtailed over the last 
seven years, it is still far more active than China's. After some recent 
unfortunate experiences, I no longer buy shrimp or tilapia that comes 
from China. At least American dumplings aren't made from cardboard.
