Wanna Bite?

The recent EU overrule of irregular shaped fruits and veg have caused a stir in my prolific brain. The decision was said to have cut unnecessary red tapes among the EU Committee. However, what good does it do when the red tape itself was unnecessary in the first place?

A contrast of this excessive ruling would be China's recent scandal of tainted milk, animal feed, soy products and god knows what. Look at the great Middle Kingdom that fostered 1 billion people, the look of the food is not an issue, but the taste. The goal of most Chinese people's everyday life is to put food on the table, whether it is funny shaped carrots, oversized cabbages, or formaldehyde preserved tofu, they will make it taste good.

If the decision from the EU were to be passed, maybe the Chinese would be the beneficiary of all this. Instead of having poisonous foods, Europe will import their screwed-up fresh produce to China and China can ship their contamination to Africa or other deprived countries. Now THAT'S free trade working at its full gear.
