Fruits and vegetables from China? No thanks!

Fuji apples, small tomatoes, broccoletti and strawberries saturated with various poisons and grown under acid rain are on our tables. Food products “Made in China” are now invading us.

Entire plantations of products are cultivated on terrain contaminated by DDT and irrigated with water from basins poisoned by toxic industrial waste and by the water from urban sewage disposals. The plants are treated on a regular basis with phosphate-based pesticides and nitrogen fertilizers, which are both highly carcinogenic, rather than risk any imperfections in the harvest.
Lead, mercury and other poisonous substances go directly form the plants to the stomach. They are then deposited in our internal organs, causing permanent damage.
Together with the Chinese apples and vegetables, they are selling us cancer.

Equally interesting is this: the website which posts this text - and other critical information about China - is often attacked (electronically) and made unreachable. Do you wonder by who? I don't.

Beware! The most perfectly big and clean looking cloves of garlic in shops here on the island often are - check the labels where you can - from China!
