We all know that eating lots of garlic can make your breath unpleasant (although there are other foods you can eat along with the garlic to avoid this). So you’d guess that garlic would also make your BO smell garlicky…right? Not so fast. In this study, a group of Czech researchers had some male “odour …

Chinese restaurants shut down for seasoning food with opium

Chinese restaurants shut down for seasoning food with opium | No Such Thing As The News | Scoop.it
35 restaurants across China have been found illegally using opium as seasoning in their food, state officials say. Five restaurants are being prosecuted over the findings, whilst 30 more are under investigation, according to the China Food and Drug Administration.
Treathyl Fox's curator insight, February 13, 2017 12:24 PM
Article published a year ago.  Shocking old news but bears repeating.  Might again elsewhere.

Those poor customers.  "It is unclear how the opium came to enter the food, however, previous cases in China have seen chefs try to ‘hook’ customers on their food through use of the narcotic which can cause serious addiction."  Glad they shut the restaurants down!! 

Come on chefs!  Don't say you didn't know any better! 

So? Any further steps taken? Like chefs put in jail! Chefs rat out drug suppliers! Etc.   Don't just shut down the restaurant and stop there!
