Chinese garlic poses major threat to U.S.

 This time Chinese garlic has been declared a threat to the national security of the United States. It all started with reports that this vegetable in the Celestial Empire is allegedly grown in sewage, and harvested with the use of slave and child labor.

Florida Senator Rick Scott then asked U.S. agencies to investigate and expressed concern about importing such garlic into the United States. In China, the situation was treated with humor. The Foreign Ministry said that the garlic was not supposed to pose a great threat to the US.

And the Global Times newspaper published a cartoon depicting a U.S. official frightened by garlic.
