Smuggling 40-Year-Old Meat?

Breaking News: None too familiar with meat-smuggling and at the heels of the controversial dog meat festival, news has broken that almost $500 million in meat was seized by Chinese authorities. The meat is noted for being unsafe, unapproved and repeatedly thawed out due to unrefrigerated transportation. This furthers the notion of an utter lack of food safety throughout China and most disturbingly:

According to state newspaper the China Daily, officials from Guangxi, a southern region bordering Vietnam, found meat dating back to the 1970s.

Greetings veg community! My name is Ryan and I'm a writer for Clearly Veg. I'm a vegetarian that writes and trains/teaches grappling (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & wrestling) full-time. My goal is to educate readers about the political and environmental state of the world, and how that long-standing model of living affects the world around us. I especially like digging into what we eat, how we get said food, and the aftermath of this very large and political process. If I can help a few athletes get beyond the swarm of misinformation that surrounds the possibility of them going a more "veg" direction - even better. About The Author:
