    RaySwore: The correspondent/narrator said this: "It may have been full of cancerous toxins, but at least I could tell it was ate grown in the ground as opposed to some laboratory. I have a feeling that a lot of the stuff I eat back home may be just a bad for me." -- That is the dumbest shit I've seen in any of the VICE docs. Even if you eat processed junk 24/7, those preservatives and chemicals have been screened by the FDA for carcinogens and lethal health consequences. They may still fuck up your health in all kinds of ways, but they aren't proven carcinogens. Eating food grown in a toxic city, with soil rich in cancer agents... is undeniably worse. Sorry, I hate when this "angsty" suburban lamenting crosses the line into misinformation. I lived in China and . The negative metabolic, immune and mental health effects of our food system suck, but they aren't the cancer soup that Chinese soil air and water (and thus food) is. Science.....

    bkyee18: this is like the first chinese i've seen where people choose not to wear masks which is weird considering that even in hong kong, a place considerably less polluted than linfen, just about 1 in 5 people you see will be wearing a mask
