Wu Hengs favorite meal was braised beef rice before he saw a post on a Chinese social networking site displaying two identical photos of beef side-by-side.
One was beef from cows. The other was pork chemically treated to taste like beef. Cheaters! Unacceptable! he thought.
Outraged, Wu decided to take matters into his own hands. So, he put his masters degree on hold to create what he describes as a Wikipedia that tracks food safety and questionable manufacturing in China.
He called it Throwing It Out the Window, -- a name inspired by a story he read on U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt supposedly tossing a sausage from the window after reading about food production horrors. Since its inception in 2011, Wus site has compiled a list of more than 3,000 instances of potentially unsafe food and now has more contributors than he can count.
I felt like a victim, and I thought others might feel the same way too, said Wu, 28, who works as a writer. Im hoping the site will help build the power of the market to drive change. Even if we cant make changes, I think that if you are having unsafe food you should know youre having it.
His efforts show how Chinas citizens are getting increasingly vocal in fighting health and environmental hazards. Chinese police last month arrested 17 men for selling poison-laden dog meat, according to state-controlled media. They separately seized about 30,000 tons of chicken feet treated with excessive amounts of hydrogen peroxide -- to lighten the meats color.

To pay attention to the American political process, and what the candidates for this nations highest office have to say and not say about the issues that are of importance to them and thus we are to presume importance to the Nation, you would get the impression that the issue of race, that the issue of racism, that the issue of discrimination, and certainly that the issue of white racial privilege were non existent issues; that they were of really no importance, or that of very little importance, because you will not hear and have not heard any of the candidates for the presidency of the United States, in either party, of whatever political ideology, make this an issue. Yes,they talk about poverty and occasionally they talk about schooling and education. They talk about healthcare. They talk about all of those things, but not once have any of those candidates tried to directly connect the role that racism, the role that racial discrimination, the role that institutional racial oppression and white privilege play in regard to health care, in regard to housing, in regard to schooling. It is as if those issues exist in a vacuum and have no relationship to color, have no relationship to race, have no relationship to a history of racial subordination. Tim Wise
