I wish I could do this one in Spanish, but it will be in English. The preliminary program for the meeting is here. Register for it here.

FoodPolitics.com too political for China? Really?
My not quite son-in-law is stage managing a play in China, and writes:
I looked at the pictures of Mayor Koch and you in your kitchen last week and it worked fine. Now I’m here in Shenzhen & Internet Explorer isn’t able to open your Blog. See! That’s what you get for all those nasty things you said about the Chinese baby formulas and pet foods!
I guess he’s referring to my posts on the deliberate adulteration of pet food and infant formula with melamine. Is this site really blocked? If so, is it really a threat to the Chinese state?
Seems far-fetched, no? Anyone know anything about this?
