So, you are a cross between Achilles and Count Chocula? Does that sound correct?

So, 70% chocolate; was there a mishap at Wonka’s chocolate factory?

Ok. So not China. Probably not as likely to be as contaminated as some of the rice being grown in China. The EU is way stricter about food safety stuff than the US, and certainly China, from what I recall.

China is a net importer of rice. By a lot last time I checked. The US is a net exporter of rice. Do you live in the US?

Does your diet mostly consist of chocolate and rice?
Also, this study was done in China and they don’t export much rice. They are a net importer of rice.

Based on the little I know I don’t think China exports much of their domestically produced rice. I’m sure they export some, but they a net importer of rice.

If the soil is contaminated then using organic growing practices won’t be as effective at eliminating contaminants.

Environmental contamination is tough to avoid, but it should be avoided to the greatest extent possible.
The study I linked was done in China. Their environmental regulations and practices haven’t been great during their economic rise over the last fifty or so years. Much like ours weren’t when we rapidly industrialized. Same as it ever was.
And of course part of the reason for the offshoring of certain things to places like China over the last thirty plus years was a conscious effort by some to export externalities and avoid tighter, more costly regulations in more advanced economies. Out of sight, out of mind.
Edited.

I’d bet the team would have been worth more in a sale if he hadn’t renamed it and had allowed the new owners the opportunity to do so.

The physique is slightly different depending on the artist I suppose.
