Tainted Milk

China is known for mass producing a lot of fake items: bags, cellphones, shirts, etc. Who would've thought that these wily businessmen would go as far as producing "fake" milk... semi-fake anyway. For those who are oblivious to what's happening, here's the scoop: it was discovered recently that a lot milk produced in China contained melanine. I don't know exactly what the effect of melamine is if ingested internally, but it's considered plastic so it can't be good. 

I've always been wary of China manufactured cosmetics and food products but I didn't expect the Chinese businessmen to stoop this low for profit's sake. Saying that the people in China are ruthless businessmen is an understatement. 

A lot of multinational companies are affected by this revelation. Even the coffee giant, Starbucks was not spared from this unexpected revelation. Expect the price of milk produced locally and imported from New Zealand and Australia to jack up. Nobody would dare buy China produced milk, or if they're wise, China manufactured food products (who knows what else they've added in other food products).

The Chinese government should be more stringent in punishing socially irresponsible and unethical business practices such as this one to avoid similar incidents in the future.
