I wouldn't eat raw veggies in China from what I've heard...

and here's me considering a bite.........

do you know they even cook lettuce for the same reason, and when I ask to have it only washed, they think I'm odd. So many dramas with food here from storage to poisoning. The government have just introduced a new policy and some regulations, but because of poverty and such large rural areas being so hard to monitor, prior there was nothing but your own good sense. What do you do, you gotta eat sometime, but I will say, learning very quickly, not only how to distinguish dog from cat ( thk god for vegetarianism ) but how to get buy on basic needs only.............. it's just not worth the risk most of the time.
