Anyway, the farmer showed the interviewer the sludge like water filling the rice patties. A yellowish/grey nasty looking sludge.
The farmer: "We know its bad water. Contaminated. We can't eat this rice, its not good. So we sell to another province." This is happening all over China.
Think about that statement for a moment.

Asia is a mess. Pollution, total corruption, and a general total lack of respect for life and the environment is taking its toll on the region, especially in China. This area of the world will probably be a hazardous wasteland in 100 years (or less) at the rate things are going.
