The latest in outlandish occurrences has taken place in Wuhan, China, where local residents have been caught scouring garbage dumps for trashed food to resell and even eat, causing many to wonder just how horrible the situation has become in the area that people are willing to eat (spoiled) food from the trash…
A local retailer served as the source of the expired food, an event that could be accurately summed up as “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”, at least for the desperate citizens who were photographed dividing the bounty amongst themselves.
The photographs of citizens digging through the trash were soon widely picked up in China and beyond:
The waste was apparently so abundant that citizens could be seen stocking whole vehicles full of it, with some scavengers telling reporters it was going to be repurposed into pig feed – though it has since been discovered that the food is being resold to other citizens as another “China-quality” product.
It’s much like Pak-Pak in Pinoy Manila nothing new
They are chinese, which means they are not human, only counterfeit human. Trash eating trash is nothing strange. In fact what is revolting is that some of those subhumans are eating food that is meant for humans (or their pets) to eat. Also Senkaku Islands belong to Japan.
You idiot, the Diaoyu Islands are Japanese, so Japan is China, are you understand？
What we call dumpster diving. People need ways to get through tough times and they work hard at it in China.
Not as terrible as people thing. The terrible thing is that its all piled up, let in the worst possible conditions. If it was given to people in an orderly manner, it wouldn’t cause much problem. Food that has slightly passed its “expiration” day is still edible.
Nothing new here.
One thing to keep in mind the average Chinese citizen is still very poor.
Though if China has rules similar to the US something being past it’s sell by date doesn’t necessarily mean spoiled.
