    I seen the attached picture on a different website and I thought some of you guys would be interested. I see there is a smiley face on the TV monitor. Happy men!

    The caption with the photo is below.

    A worker prepares to milk cows on a 100-acre farm managed by New Zealand dairy export giant Fonterra Co-operative Group in Yutian County, Hebei Province, on March 15, 2012. The dairy farm is part of a new international investment strategy by Fonterra, the world's largest dairy cooperative, that involves the building and operating of its own modern large-scale dairy farms, so it can be certain of the quality of the dairy products it sells. The investment comes after a 2008 scandal where some baby formula sold in China was fatally contaminated by the chemical compound melamine.

    The Melanine Scare really sparked a revolution in the food industry in China. By the end of last year they had 2,000 people arrested for food safety breaches. Usually you could just bribe or buy counterfeit inspection reports but that mostly ended when the government realised that food scares could cause civil unrest.

    The link below gives some interesting stats about the Chinese Dairy Industry.
