#1 I'm sure the athletes were looking forward to the buns filled with lye-softened cardboard + pork fat mixture.

Yummy...

#2 No, they were looking forward to eating steroid-laden meat that would cause them to flunk their drug tests...

#3 My son spent two weeks in China last summer. Lost twelve pounds. The food there was not to be eaten.

China cannot withstand the exposure honest reporting would allow. Working together, with partners like Google, they're working to fill in the chinks in their city wall.

#5 Someone needs to point out to all parties concerned, world class athletes often do their own food where they go regardless of first or second or third world amenities.

#6 No, the ChiComs are looking for a fight. This will be just another chapter with the last having been the Kitty Hawk Honk Kong visit. They need a foreign demon to distract from their domestic problems, which are going to grow with the global slowdown, and we're it. At some point it will backfire on them.

#7 I'm guessing bringing US-style CHINESE TAKEOUT isn't gonna cut it either for Beijing.
