TAIPEI, Taiwan -- A husband and wife food
wholesaler team, surnamed Chou, has been charged with forgery over the sale of
expired items to retailers in Taichung since 2004, the Taichung District
Prosecutor Office said yesterday.
According to prosecutors, a food retailer,
also surnamed Chou, was also charged with forgery for selling these products in
traditional markets in central Taiwan areas.
Prosecutors said that since 2004, the food
wholesaler couple purchased expired or nearly expired products from a seller,
surnamed Chen, and used a chemical to remove the expiry date before printing a
new one.
Chen has since been sentenced to three
years and six months in prison by the Changhua District Court for his role in
the scheme.
According to prosecutors, the wholesaler
couple sold the expired foods and drinks to the retailer, who sold the products
to vendors in traditional markets in Taichung.
Prosecutors and the police seized many
expired products, including chicken stock powder, green tea, crackers and
tomato soup. However, prosecutors said that these expired foods had been sold
for nearly 10 years, so many consumers have already eaten these expired
products.
According to prosecutors, the food
wholesalers and retailer violated laws against forgery and fraud. Questions:
1. Expiration dates: should you pay
attention?
2. Are food expiration dates important?
3. Are you fear that expired food?
Do you care for food safety and quality?
4. Do you think government should impose
tougher food safety law?
5. How often do you eat out?
How to avoid getting sick when eating out?

What
makes the perfect man? (lifestyle.iafrica.com)
What does it take to be the perfect man?
Some rate his gentlemanly qualities as top priority, others agree that he’s got
to be hard working, while most say that he should have a good education.
A survey conducted by CBS News that
included 1168 participants, shows that his mother is rated as one of the most
important influencers that will shape him into Mr Perfect.
It also showed that aside from a good
education, he should have good manners and be willing to put his nose to the
grinding stone when it matters.
A small percentage – five percent – said he
should be willing to talk about his feelings, while just one percent said he
should be a good athlete.
Getting drunk or angry often is what most said
would ruin his chances of being labelled Mr Perfect, while most participants
said that if they could change one thing in their partner it would be his
temper. Other things women cited as something they like to change in their
other half was his friends, sense of humour and physique.
The field was split over when a man could
say he could call himself successful, on one side saying that he could come to
a decision at age 40, while a tougher 23 percent insisted he could only really
look back at his life and deem it successful when on his deathbed.
The good news is that most believe that
chivalry is not dead yet – possibly proved by the gentlemanly way that many men
go about their business – but it would unfortunately, the cheesy pick-up line
is just as alive and well.
