Q: Shanghai ren: have you eaten pork since the dead pig scandal broke?
11 years 2 weeks ago in Health & Safety - Shanghai
I assume they have just by instincts. . . I don't think scandals weigh to heavy on people's decision's here.
Yes, i eat still a bit of pork here, but I am choosing very carefully. now we can not eat also chicken, so only beef is allowed ? Yeah, we love beef 
Like Nessquick said, pork and chicken are off the menu. Problem is, I read that the majority of "beef" in China is actually horse meat. China is the largest consumer of horse meat, albeit unwittingly. Oh and the bottled water has bug eggs in, so there's nothing to drink either. Man what a great place to be.
The pork I have in my freezer was purchased before the scandal, I never buy meats at a open market always at a super market I feel it's a little safer then the open market where the meat out in the open, so yes I do still it pork.
I liked Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's joke that to get pork soup in Shanghai, you just turn on the tap. Not sure how Beijing would have taken that...
