We're eating cardboard
60
The percentage of cardboard, yes, cardboard, in a Beijing baozi recipe, as reported by CNN. A street vendor was caught on video giving his recipe.
What's in the recipe?" the reporter asks. "Six to four," the man says. "You mean 60 percent cardboard? What is the other 40 percent?" asks the reporter. "Fatty meat," the man replies.
Now for me, the idea of eating cardboard as though it was roasted pork meat, is less scary than wondering what other foods are being replaced with freaking non-edible "ingredients ". Source: CNN

Yeah, I know. But I'm so skeptical of all Chinese news that I wouldn't be surprised if the story was real and then made to look fake. What's up or down here in China? :) What do you think? I'll put it like this: Are you still eating street side baozi?

I'm still eating the baozi that I get every morning on my way to work. I figure, what I don't know, won't kill me. :) Ignorance is bliss.
