Are the kids who ate the bodybuilding pigs okay?

315 exposed the use of clenbuterol in mutton in Qing County, Hebei Province. Some media asked me to write an article. I refused. What should I write about? I have already written about the popular science of clenbuterol. It is not the first time that clenbuterol in mutton has been used. The children who ate "bodybuilding pigs" back then probably have children now.

Ten years ago, on March 15, 2011, CCTV's weekly quality report exposed the bodybuilding pig, a type of "lean meat pig" fed with clenbuterol. This was the first time that clenbuterol was in the spotlight, but in fact, clenbuterol had long been an open secret in the breeding industry to improve efficiency.

Serious food poisoning incidents caused by abuse occur from time to time. A typical example is the poisoning incident in Shanghai in 2006, in which more than 200 people were poisoned.

Ten years ago, clenbuterol was also found in mutton. The "green sheep" tactics used at that time were exactly the same as today, and some farmers even kept a few bottles of "boy's urine" to deal with inspections. The local government at that time was the same as today. The leaders attached great importance to it and made important instructions at the first time, requiring no tolerance, resolute investigation, learning from the past, and preventing recurrence.

Ten years have passed, the regulatory system has been changed again and again, the regulatory personnel have been replaced one after another, various official documents have been issued again and again, and the lawbreakers have been arrested one after another. Is the Clenbuterol tube better? I think it is definitely much better than it was back then, but if you look at what was exposed on March 15, it is not as simple as an isolated case, but it is likely to be a regional problem.

So is it only Qing County that has been exposed that has problems? Are all the sheep-raising counties in other provinces clear water? At this time, all places will take the initiative to investigate, and then report the good news that "no problems have been found". Do you really believe it? Sheep are the economic lifeline of these places. Are there not enough stories of "fighting hard"?

Watching CCTV 315, farmers in Qing County are still using clenbuterol. I think, instead of a blanket ban, it is better to release ractopamine under certain conditions, at least it is much less toxic. Of course, our government does not dare to risk the world's condemnation for such politically incorrect things.

So, this time, it is very likely that it will be the same as before, with a big cleanup, and then everyone will go back to their own homes, and soon everything will be back to normal. The child who ate the muscled pig grew up and took his own child to eat muscled sheep. After a few years, the three generations of grandfather and grandson drank and talked happily, with a plate of muscled beef on the table. That's probably what happened.

After the complaints, here are some suggestions for you: (Only represents the author's point of view)

1) Eat only animal offal in moderation;

2) Be careful with strange animal products;

3) The probability of having problems with eating is extremely low, so eat whatever you like and don’t think too much about it
