Plastic rice. Coming soon to a supermarket near you!

Because America's economic gatekeepers hate the United States so much, your next plate of rice might actually be recycled ballpoint pen shells and broken records.

China has been a bit lax on product safety of late, yet it seems to produce almost everything Americans buy these days. It's called outsourcing. And while Corporate America ships jobs to China and other overseas locales, gobs of Americans find themselves facing long-term unemployment. And when I say long-term, I mean long-term.

Now Chinese factories are packaging rice that isn't rice at all. It's actually a mix of potatoes, yams, and plastic - yes, plastic. An official from the Chinese Restaurant Association said that eating 3 bowls of this imitation rice would be like eating an entire plastic bag.

Yummy.

This follows a 2008 scandal in which hundreds of thousands of people were sickened or killed by consuming milk or baby formula that was packaged in China and was tainted by melamine. This also comes after the discovery that Chinese-made drywall used in American houses is laced with sulfur, which has released gas that has made an untold number of new dwellings completely uninhabitable - forcing them to be razed.

That's where Corporate America is shipping American jobs?
