| I may have gotten this wrong but there was an article in the SCMP a couple of months ago where some randon food was tested in Beijing and Steroids were found in the chicken.... If you are an athlete you can not afford to take the risk of not knowing what you are eating.
When I went to Beijing I took muesli bars cos I knew I would not want to eat any food outside the hotel as I am vegetarian. If you are an athlete and are used to a strict diet why upset your system by eating 'locally' also with the huge amts of MSG used and the possibility of eating dog....... And before any says this doesn't happen I have seen the dogs outside restaurants and was told the locals like this cos they know the meat is fresh!!!! |
