Report: Cardboard Main Ingredient in Chinese Neighborhood's Steamed Buns

BEIJING — "Chopped cardboard, softened with an industrial chemical and flavored with fatty pork and powdered seasoning, is a main ingredient in batches of steamed buns sold in one Beijing neighborhood, state television said.

The report, aired late Wednesday on China Central Television, highlights the country's problems with food safety despite government efforts to improve the situation."

Gee. Ya think? Chopped cardboard is the absolute least of their food worries.
