Central authorities have taken control of the investigation in Tianshui, Gansu province, after 233 of 251 kindergarteners tested positive for elevated blood lead levels linked to inedible paint added to food to enhance its color, with eight people including the school principal and several canteen workers now in detention.
What do you think?
“You know, I should have suspected something was wrong when my kid brought home the school menu for the week, and Wednesday’s lunch was marked as #56d550. Lesson learned.”
“Just adding straight lead paint in 2025, huh? Really makes you nostalgic for the days when the worst thing that happened was adding the pesticide dichlorvos to steam buns.”
“To be fair, you can’t achieve the kind of chroma saturation that will go viral with regular kitchen ingredients.”
