BEIJING - Chopped cardboard, softened with an industrial chemical and flavored with fatty pork and powdered seasoning, is a main ingredient in batches of steamed buns sold in one Beijing neighborhood, state television said.
The report, aired late Wednesday on China Central Television, highlights the country's problems with food safety despite government efforts to improve the situation.
Countless small, often illegally run operations exist across China and make money cutting corners by using inexpensive ingredients or unsavory substitutes. They are almost impossible to regulate.

When I was younger, I often heard of after hours places that served Meat Loaf, made out of Dog Food. The patrons were so drunk they couldn't tell the difference. Since they were illegal, the drinks were also watered down, and the music very loud, and they didn't close until sunrise. Josephine Baker got her start working in places like that at the age of 12.
Some poor families still eat Meat Loaf, made out of Dog Food. It's either that or starve. I operated a Food Pantry for several years, and have seem it all.
