In China, organic means it will only be contaminated with organic solvents. So anything with a benzene ring is fair game.

In related news, there are conflicting reports about why the price of foreign baby milk powder has increased since the scandal surrounding Sanlu and 21 other brands of baby milk powder emerged. Are the foreign producers making a profit off a tragic food safety scandal or has increased demand for their product simply resulted in higher prices? Whatever the case, the relevant authorities have announced that they'll be monitoring the price of milk powder very closely.

Duh. It's called supply and demand. I would imagine that anyone who can afford it is now scrambling to buy up as much foreign baby formula as they can get their hands on rather than risk poisoning their own child with the domestic stuff.

In other news, Xinhua news also announced that the sky is blue (honest! Just not in Beijing). LOL

Yeah went to Starbucks at Lido today, as I was out of milk at home and needed my cappuccino. They still have no regular milk.. only soy, which tastes awful. I asked and got my money back after one taste.

Whatever

Re: no milk in starbucks this morning ... checking supply

Re: no milk in starbucks this morning ... checking supply for me

i don't know but you'd think in 5 days they'd be able to get something instead of that nasty soy bean milk -- I mean a beverage made from squashed beans? How disgusting

True story: on two occasions I went to KFC and was told "We don't have any chicken."

They offered me salads, fries, potato/gravy instead. Nuts!

Remmy be pimpin' in BJ, yo!

Re: no milk in starbucks this morning ... checking supply ...

Of course I have also faced the same problem in KFC long time ago. Not only in KFC but I have suffered from the Red Lobster restaurant too. About a couple of month ago when I had been to Darden Red Lobster for the seafood, but couldn't have any seafood items and they offered me with the chicken meat items.

The reason behind Red Lobster not serving sea food was they had no any fresh seafood items on that day. On the way to restaurant the vehicle was damaged which had carried the fresh seafood items so the customer were served with the chicken items that day.

Hmmm. I don't get that message, using Avast.

I do remember getting a similar message a year or so ago, on thebeijinger, although the website in the warning was something different than this one.

Avast has detected that you have no milk

Solution: buy milk

Re: no milk in starbucks this morning ... checking supply ...

Hahahaha

Ain't I the a-hole

Not even close to the thread I meant to post that in
