Another reason not to consume anything from China.Seems they love to cut corners on ingredients in many things.Just disgusting.

I think the frozen pizza industry has been doing this for years, just with less "softening" chemicals.

Is this where the whole

concept came from?
Makes you wonder!
And just so you know I can do it so much better than that!!!

Ok, before I get all upset! Was that aimed at me or the kids in the vid?
And can you honestly say that if youtube was around when you were a party going teenager there wouldn't be any vids of you doing stupid stuff.
I wish I was 15 years younger!

It was all a hoax.
A freelance reporter for a Beijing television station has been detained for faking a hidden camera report about street vendors who used
chemical-soaked cardboard to fill meat buns, local media said.The story, allegedly shot with a hidden camera, was first broadcast on Beijing
Television's Life Channel on July 8 and then again on China Central Television last week.
Beijing Television apologized to the public during an evening news broadcast Wednesday and said the reporter, identified by the official Xinhua News
Agency as Zi Beijia, was detained by police. A copy of the broadcast was obtained by AP Television News on Thursday.

It may very well have been a fake/hoax, but I don't trust the ChiCom gov't enough to accept this new report of a hoax at face value.
