You need to know the truth!
A few years ago, a troubling video of a Chinese man making a cabbage out of wax surfaced.
The video went VIRAL!
And as you’d expect, the news spread like wildfire:
“synthetic ‘cabbages’… being made in China in just 40 seconds flat … coming to a grocery store near you soon“.
The video was so unsettling, and the fake cabbage looked so realistic that people panicked.
Especially me, since I just bought some fresh cabbage from the grocery store the day I stumbled on the video.
But the real mystery remains:
Are the Chinese selling us synthetic foods?
That was the question on everybody’s lips.
However, that wasn’t the only concern. More videos appeared depicting several other foods being made in the same fashion.
Take a look:
Shockingly realistic right?
Eggs, pizza, sauces, spaghetti, anything could be faked!
As if having toxic chemicals, extra sugar and sodium added into our foods weren’t enough – the Chinese are selling us synthetic foods, and God knows what else!
The Truth
After in-depth research, I discovered that the original video was, in fact, a snippet of a Korean documentary. Apparently, in Asia, they display wax foods and dishes at restaurants so people can see what they are ordering.
But that did not stop the masses from taking everything on a whole other level.
Going down the rabbit hole!
Although people wanted to lay this ‘fake news’ to rest, the damage had already been done. A flood of claims started to appear everywhere:
“soy sauce is made from human hair”
“crabs are injected with saline to create a deceptively appetizing appearance”
“imported Chinese garlic is sprayed with dangerous pesticides”
etc.
Fortunately, that is not the case.
Wax foods are easily distinguishable from their real deal counterparts. The texture and the most telling – melting – are hard to miss.
What do you think?
Are these concerns real?
And as always, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask me.
