22 TONS OF FAKE BEEF SEIZED IN CHINA

This week, police in Xi’an province reported that they had found and seized more than 22 tons of fake beef at a local factory. Get this: the “beef” was actually made from pork (which is considerable cheaper than beef) that had been treated with chemicals including paraffin wax and industrial salts to make it look like it came from a cow. Shanghiist reports that the factory sold more than 1,500 kilos (3,000 pounds) of the fake beef to local markets at around 25 to 33 yuan ($4 or $5) per kilo. Six workshops that were producing the fake beef have been discovered and shut down.

This isn’t the first instance of fake meat being sold in China. In May of this year,Medical Daily reported that 904 people were arrested in China for “meat-related offenses” over three months at the beginning of 2013. Included in these arrests was one gang of meat crooks who made over 10 million yuan ($1.6 million) by selling rat, fox, and mink meat at markets. This makes us wonder what impostor foods we might be eating, which in turn makes us very, very uncomfortable.

Wife tells court- "I won't beat my husband again"

A housewife, Kehinde Oladosu, has told an Osogbo magistrate's court that she beats her husband, Asimuyu Oladosu, whenever 'some unknown spirits' come over her.

Pleading with the court not to dissolve her marriage, Kehinde, on Tuesday, said she still cherishes her marriage of 17 years. Weeping profusely, Kehinde, who admitted beating her husband at will, urged the court to save her marriage, which is blessed with three children.

She said, "What my husband said is true. I always beat him but I do not know what usually come over me whenever I did that. Some unknown spirits push me to do it.

"I still love my husband and I want the matter to be settled amicably. I don't want to leave him and I promise that I will never beat him again."

But the husband said, "I am tired of this marriage due to frequent beating by my wife as well as her nagging nature.

"She does not go to church and whenever I go to church or vigil, she will not allow me into the house and if she does, she beats me mercilessly.

"And base on these facts, I want the court to dissolve this union."

President of the court, Mrs. Temilade Agboola, urged the husband to consider the plea of his wife and forgive her but Asimiyu refused, stressing he wanted divorce.

Agboola said that as the husband insisted on having a divorce, the court has no option but to grant the request.

She subsequently dissolved the marriage and ordered that the wife should take custody of the three children.

Agboola also ordered Oladosu to give N9, 000 monthly for the upkeep of the children.
