【新唐人2011年2月24日訊】最近，大陸微博上曝光了中國市售大米中10%含有毒重金屬—-鎘，隨後大陸各地多家媒體引用專家和權威部門的報導說，「本地沒有毒大米」。海外學者、專家認為，政府在此時最應該做的是找出毒米，保護民眾，但是中國的毒食品氾濫恰好來源於中共的管理不力。請看報導。
最近，南京農業大學專家潘根興教授披露，根據抽樣調查顯示，中國市售大米大約有一成是含鎘的毒大米。近年來，毒大米事件屢屢發生。2008年，中國出售到日本的毒大米導致日本農林水產大臣引咎辭職，相關日本商人破產並自殺。這兩年來，廣東、廣西、江西、湖南等地都先後查出毒大米數百噸。目前毒大米中已知的有毒元素，從多種重金屬到大量農藥殘留物，已經是種類繁多。「鎘」是最新曝光出來的一種。
早在去年10月，大陸民間就有視頻爆料，中國的大米在整個種植期間使用了超量的農藥。
華東農業大學博士：“很多地方都這樣，在農村裡種田最清楚了，人家種了十幾年田，剛開始，水稻種下去，打一兩次（農藥）就夠了，現在基本上一個星期就打一次，每個星期打一次，所以我們平常吃的水稻，基本上是被農藥泡起來的。”
《華南糧網》報導，2010年中國稻谷總產1.96億噸。按照一成含鎘的比例來算，市場上僅含鎘這一種毒素的大米就有將近2千萬頓。如果中國的大米全部由中國民眾消費的話，就意味著全中國人平均每人吃掉30斤（15公斤）左右。
但是，自從鎘大米從微博曝光之後，大陸各地的官方媒體紛紛報導了相關部門檢測，和多位專家的勸告，一律否認了實際的情況。
面對官方輿論的這種做法，多年來高度關注中國環境問題的旅德著名學者、工程專家王維洛博士指出，政府最應該做的是找出這些有毒的大米，不讓它們進入到老百姓的飯碗裡。
王維洛：“老百姓不知道哪些大米是鎘超標的，你中國（共）政府也沒有採取措施，來阻止鎘超標的大米進入流通市場，必須採取措施阻止這10%的大米進入老百姓的飯碗。”
陝西作家周勍認為，無論是直接造成食品有毒的農藥、工業污染和添加劑，還是官方媒體、有關專家的做法，說明瞭中國毒食品的根本問題來自中共腐敗的一黨專政。
周勍：“巨額的資本和一個腐敗透頂的政府的結合，對普通消費者是一個洪水猛獸，這樣就導致了毒食品的愈演愈烈。我一直在多少年前就在講，一黨專政是毒食品的萬惡之源。”
周勍曾親身調查中國毒食品2年，經過整理出版的《民以何食為天》一書，2004年獲得了世界報告文學最高獎——德國尤利西斯學獎。

Experts on “Tainted Rice”
Recently, China』s micro-blogs revealed that
10% of the rice on China』s markets contains cadmium.
Cadmium is a toxic heavy metal chemical compound.
Later, many Chinese media cited the authorities』 reports
to claim that “Locally, we don』t have tainted rice".
Overseas scholars and experts believe that
the government should first identify the tainted rice
and protect the public.
However, the prevalence of tainted food in China
originated from CCP’s poor management.
Recently, Nanjing Agricultural University』s expert
Prof. Pan Genxing disclosed that sampling shows,
about 10% of the rice on the Chinese market is
cadmium-tainted rice, which has become commonplace.
In 2008, imported tainted rice caused Japan’s agric.
minister』s resignation and merchants』 bankruptcy.
In the recent years, hundreds of tons of tainted rice
were found in several provinces in China.
The toxic elements are heavy metals and pesticide residues.
Cadmium is the most recently exposed.
In Oct 2010, there were privately-made videos showing
the excess use of pesticides in growing Chinese rice.

A Ph.D. from China』s Huadong Agricultural University:
Tainted rice exists in many places.
The farmers know the most.
At first, 1 or 2 rounds of (pesticides) were enough.
Now pesticides are applied once a week.
So the rice we eat is basically soaked up by pesticides.
GDGrain.com reported, in 2010,
China』s total rice output was 196 million tons.
If 10% of the rice was cadmium-tainted,
the markets had nearly 20 million tons of tainted rice.
If all the rice was consumed by the Chinese people,
then each person ate 15 kilograms on average.
However, after micro-blogs revealed the tainted rice,
mny official media reported the authorities』 inspections
and many experts』 advices.
All of them denied the real situation.
Regarding the official media』s practices,
Germany-based Chinese environmental scholar and
engineering expert, Dr. Wang Weiluo, pointed out that
the government should first find out the tainted rice
and not let it make way into people』s rice bowls.
Wang: People don』t know which rice is tainted.
The government hasn』t taken any measures to
prevent the cadmium-tainted rice from flowing
into the markets and from being consumed.
Zhou Qing, an author from Shaanxi, believes that
pesticides, industrial pollution and additives,
the practices of the official media and so-called experts
all show that the fundamental reason of tainted food
is the corrupt Communist one-party dictatorship.
Zhou: The combination of large sums of capital
and a thoroughly corrupt government
is a scourge on ordinary consumers.
This has led to increasing amounts of tainted foods.
I said many years ago that regarding tainted foods,
the one-party dictatorship is the source of all evil.
Zhou personally investigated tainted foods for 2 years.
His book Survey of the Current Safety of China』s Foods
won Germany』s Lettre Ulysses Award in 2004.
