After a peaceful and relaxing weekend, I chanced upon the latest news reporting another case of tainted edibles. *sigh* The latest scandal is tainted eggs from Northeastern China.

As quoted from the NYTimes.com :

"During that time, several Chinese melamine suppliers admitted in newspaper interviews to selling melamine to animal feed operations and fish feed providers in China."

"The discovery of contaminated eggs in Hong Kong was announced Saturday by the Center for Food Safety, a Hong Kong government agency, which said the eggs had been imported from a farm in the city of Dalian, in northeastern China. The center reported that the melamine level was almost double the legal limit for food sold in Hong Kong."

More on this from BBC news .

Guess I have to become a vegetable and fruit vegetarian now. :p Vegan?
