Recently, there is this hype about milk products from China being unsafe for consumption by humans, especially kids.

In this age of globalization, China must realize that any problem with their produce, be it minor or major, is going to affect the whole world. Simply because majority of the goods sold worldwide comes from China.

What is more disheartening is that this is not the first time we heard about China's products being unsafe for use. Sometimes, when i look at a food product and it says "Made In China", i can't help but think whether is it safe for use. Yes, i have full confidence in AVA but not in the country where my food originate from. I can't imagine how lousy the feeling must be when you cannot even trust your own local produce.

Now, i can't even enjoy my favourite dairy products and chocolate in peace. And it hurts, especially when i am a big sucker for anything that has milk in it.

Just imagine this. If i am going to stop buying dairy products because of this poisoned milk scandal and my thoughts are echoed around the world, can you imagine the losses retailers, suppliers and manufacturers suffer? Add this to the global financial woes the world is suffering now and really, i can't see any hope in the next 5 years.

I really hope China clean up her act soon. China must realize that her every action is watched by the world and any scandal is sure to send shock waves around the globe.
