China still uses lead based paints ?

The school principal asked the kitchen staff to buy the paint online

officers had to search for the supplies which had been hidden.

The paint was clearly marked as inedible

I'm amazed if a single person employed at this school is not going to prison.

It is not known how long the paint has been used in the food, but several parents told Chinese state media that their children have been complaining of stomach and leg pain and a lack of appetite since March.

You know, I was kind of expecting like some sort of poisonous vegetable or fruit that was put on as a garnish. I was not expecting lead fucking paint.

Chef obviously never watched Chopped! If you put a non-edible element on your plate you are just asking to get sent home.

PRESCHOOL? PRESCHOOL? I'M NOT A FAN OF NON-EDIBLE ORNAMENTS ON MY MEALS AND I'M ALMOST 30.

Slightly less related, but what modern day paint has lead in it?

China loves lead, gotta watch for it in Chinese toys too. I'm not anti-China but I am anti-harming people.

Yeah, if you're looking at food in China, there's a real argument to avoid anything artificial-seeming because of incidents like this. I'm told it's part of the reason why wet markets are so popular - there's no doubt if your meat is real and unadulterated when you just saw it running around.

Sugar of Lead, chef's kiss and sorry children
