【新唐人2011年2月24日讯】最近，大陆微博上曝光了中国市售大米中10%含有毒重金属—-镉，随后大陆各地多家媒体引用专家和权威部门的报导说，“本地没有毒大米”。海外学者、专家认为，政府在此时最应该做的是找出毒米，保护民众，但是中国的毒食品泛滥恰好来源于中共的管理不力。请看报导。
最近，南京农业大学专家潘根兴教授披露，根据抽样调查显示，中国市售大米大约有一成是含镉的毒大米。近年来，毒大米事件屡屡发生。2008年，中国出售到日本的毒大米导致日本农林水产大臣引咎辞职，相关日本商人破产并自杀。这两年来，广东、广西、江西、湖南等地都先后查出毒大米数百吨。目前毒大米中已知的有毒元素，从多种重金属到大量农药残留物，已经是种类繁多。“镉”是最新曝光出来的一种。
早在去年10月，大陆民间就有视频爆料，中国的大米在整个种植期间使用了超量的农药。
华东农业大学博士：“很多地方都这样，在农村里种田最清楚了，人家种了十几年田，刚开始，水稻种下去，打一两次（农药）就够了，现在基本上一个星期就打一次，每个星期打一次，所以我们平常吃的水稻，基本上是被农药泡起来的。”
《华南粮网》报导，2010年中国稻谷总产1.96亿吨。按照一成含镉的比例来算，市场上仅含镉这一种毒素的大米就有将近2千万顿。如果中国的大米全部由中国民众消费的话，就意味着全中国人平均每人吃掉30斤（15公斤）左右。
但是，自从镉大米从微博曝光之后，大陆各地的官方媒体纷纷报导了相关部门检测，和多位专家的劝告，一律否认了实际的情况。
面对官方舆论的这种做法，多年来高度关注中国环境问题的旅德著名学者、工程专家王维洛博士指出，政府最应该做的是找出这些有毒的大米，不让它们进入到老百姓的饭碗里。
王维洛：“老百姓不知道哪些大米是镉超标的，你中国（共）政府也没有采取措施，来阻止镉超标的大米进入流通市场，必须采取措施阻止这10%的大米进入老百姓的饭碗。”
陕西作家周勍认为，无论是直接造成食品有毒的农药、工业污染和添加剂，还是官方媒体、有关专家的做法，说明了中国毒食品的根本问题来自中共腐败的一党专政。
周勍：“巨额的资本和一个腐败透顶的政府的结合，对普通消费者是一个洪水猛兽，这样就导致了毒食品的愈演愈烈。我一直在多少年前就在讲，一党专政是毒食品的万恶之源。”
周勍曾亲身调查中国毒食品2年，经过整理出版的《民以何食为天》一书，2004年获得了世界报告文学最高奖——德国尤利西斯学奖。

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.
