Rose George Quotes

Mr. Wang Had Found My Interest In Fen, The Mandarin Word For Excrement, Peculiar. Nonetheless, He Tried To Be Helpful.

He Would Alert Me When He Saw A Tiny Figure In A Roadside Field Bearing A Tank And Hose, Spraying--by The Smell Of It--the Contents Of His Toilets On His Cabbages. This Practice Would Horrify Any Public Health Professional, Given The Disease-load Of Feces, But It's What Happens To 90 Percent Of China's Excrement, And Has Been Done Forever. There Are Reasons Not To Eat Salads In China, And Why The Sizzling Woks Are So Sizzling.
