"... seeing no justification for GM feed, growth hormones, water-injected meat or the factory farming that goes into malbouffe (junk food). ..." uk.news.yahoo.com/political-motives-seen-wal-marts-china-trouble-... "In recent years, the country has been rocked by a series of food scandals, ... and also an effort to balance some of the bad press Chinese ... of the city's pork market and forced buyers to purchase water-injected meat. ..." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2011-12-30 12:29:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It is the water-injection process that makes the meat swell so that a considerable amount of the weight the customer is paying for is water. Hormone boosting results in the animals producing actual meat, albeit with animal welfare and quality issues that put many people off wanting to buy it.
