Day 12, Shenzhen

So, I've been reading the Shenzhen Daily newspaper a lot recently. It's not bad for an 8 page publication. I think I am going to start reading it more often because there are some really funny articles. These quotes from the Shenzhen Daily may become a common addition to the blog. Check this one out! I'm not even going to underline the crazy parts. Good news for New Jersey squirrel eaters

SQUIRREL eaters in the U.S. state of New Jersey have been told that the bushy-tailed rodents are probably safe to eat, after earlier being advised the unlikely delicacies could contain toxic metals. The Environmental Protection Agency said earlier this year it had discovered high levels of lead in a squirrel taken from near a waste dump in the Ringwood area and advised people to eat the rodents no more than twice a week. Officials have now said the test results were an error. “A blender that was used to process the tissues into usable samples was defective and was identified as the source of the lead contamination,” the Environmental Protection Agency said in a statement dated Monday. The New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife describes squirrel as “good table fare,” offering recipes for squirrel chowder, stew and barbecue. (SD-Agencies)
