I am getting very nervous about eating Chinese-produced processed goods (even here - do a large portion of my shopping in the Chinese supermarket) and won't touch any medicines; I'd love to do a food tour of China but wouldn't feel safe these days. :/

Is rat a fatty meat? What about dog or cat?
If the 60% is cardboard- what's to say exactly what the fatty meat is?

Sort of along the lines of The Jungle by Upton Sinclair--- but modern and scary!

During the Mao-induced famine in china, sawdust and cut paper were used as flour. Didn't help.
