Is it any wonder pet food from China is so poorly regulated when the people are subjected to this filth?

You may never eat street food in China again after watching this video

When profits trump human decency and morality, what you get is this and a whole lot more.

I try to avoid streetfood no matter how delicious and tempting they smell.

When in Asia, the best, safest way to eat is to cook your own meals at home.

Ever wonder where the street food vendors go to wash their hands after pissing in the back alley? The short AND long answer is they don't.

At least with street food, you can see them cooking it right in front of your eyes. In a restaurant, behind closed doors?

On my world travels, I've gotten sick from eating at restaurants, but never eating street food and I've even eaten it in India, as well as in China!

I don't think I've ever got sick from eating food anywhere in Asia. I've eaten cold, fly infested street food in China and Vietnam with no ill effects.

Now there has been talks about the illegal oil they are using in China. Quite scary like I am already afraid to eat in restaurants.

I only got sick once from restaurant food in China and once got sick from home cooked food given to me by a Chinese person. So one simply has to know where to eat in China and be careful what they eat.

I have heard some Chinese laughed at foreigners for not daring to eat street food or ride a scooter-taxi.

It is very sad that China has bad reputation for food safety compared with other countries.
