Nous savons tous que pendant les dernières années, beaucoup d’aliments que nous consommons viennent de Chine. Les produits de ce pays inondent le marché mondial et même des pays connus pour leur agriculture importent de grandes quantités d’aliments dont la qualité est souvent douteuse. La raison derrière cette importation d’aliments nocifs est certainement due à leur prix très bas.
Voici une liste des aliments les plus dangereux importés de Chine, et que nous consommons :
- Jus de pomme
Un jus de pomme bon marché n’ayant pas très bon goût, voilà un produit qui a peut-être parcouru une grande distance, une longue route venant de Chine. On retrouve souvent ce jus, tel quel ou sous forme de mélange. Son goût est souvent un peu acide et peu fruité. La Chine utilise une grande quantité de pesticides, beaucoup plus que ce qui est autorisé, et donc une quantité élevée de résidus chimiques se trouvent dans leurs fruits et légumes. Un problème non résolu jusqu’à maintenant.
- Sel industriel
Il y a de grandes chances que nous consommons du sel industriel quotidiennement. La Chine utilise souvent ce sel comme sel de table, alors qu’il n’est pas adapté à la consommation humaine, il peut provoquer des attaques cardiaques, une haute tension artérielle, de l’hypertension, des problèmes mentaux et physiques, des problèmes hypothyroïdiens ainsi que des troubles du système reproducteur.
- La morue (Cabillaud)
La Morue est un type de poisson cultivé en Chine, ce poisson n’est pas sain et vit dans ses propres déchets. La Morue, appelée aussi Cabillaud, est un poisson vorace. Et il y a de gros problèmes avec l’alimentation de ce poisson en Chine, vu la grande pollution de l’eau. Environ 51% du cabillaud sur le marché américain par exemple provient de Chine.
- Le poulet
Beaucoup d’experts en sécurité alimentaire se préoccupent de la qualité douteuse du poulet venant de Chine, vu que la Chine est un pays où la grippe aviaire et les maladies d’origine alimentaire sont fréquentes. De plus, la Chine est le premier pays en termes de production de pesticides dans le monde.
- L’ail
Les Chinois utilisent de nombreux pesticides dangereux comme le bromure de méthyle dans la production d’aliments. L’ail de Chine est pulvérisé abondamment avec des produits chimiques, à noter aussi que cet ail laisse un mauvais arrière-goût qui ressemble à une concoction chimique.
- Le Tilapia
Le Tilapia est un poisson très vendu et très apprécié dans la majorité des marchés alimentaires. 80% de Tilapia proviennent de Chine.
Il est connu, en Chine, que les pisciculteurs ne laissent pas leurs enfants manger les fruits de mer qu’ils cultivent. Il y a quelques années, un reportage en Chine a évoqué le cas d’une jeune fille vivant dans un village de pisciculteurs. Elle a commencé à avoir ses règles à l’âge de 7 ans, à cause des niveaux élevés d’hormones utilisées. Les pisciculteurs utilisent des antibiotiques puissants et des hormones de croissance pour garder le poisson vivant, souvent dans des conditions d’élevage manquant d’hygiène et souffrant de surpopulation.
- Le riz
Les chinois sont aussi connus pour la production du faux riz à base d’une fausse résine synthétique et de pommes de terre. Lorsqu’il est bouilli, le riz reste dur et ne cuit pas comme du riz normal. La Chine a récemment vécu un énorme scandale concernant son riz, car des tests ont montré que sa teneur en cadmium, un métal lourd toxique, était très élevée. Le cadmium est associé à plusieurs problèmes de santé, notamment des cancers, des malformations osseuses, de l’insuffisance rénale, etc. La contamination est due à l’eau polluée par l’installation d’usines très polluantes tout près des rizières.
Nous espérons que, après avoir lu ceci, vous réfléchirez à deux fois avant d’acheter des aliments qui ne sont pas locaux.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
After study a few of the blogs on your website now, and I really like your way of writing
a blog. I bookmarked it to my bookmark website list and will be checking back soon. Pls
take a look at my web site as well and tell me what you think.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
Nice information, many thanks to the author. It’s helpful
to me now, but generally, the usefulness and importance is overpowering.
Thanks again and all the best!
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
