Long story short: Fake rice is being sold as food to humans in China (Zero Hedge).

 

 

 

 

"Fake Plastic Rice" - (To the tune of Radiohead's "Fake Plastic Trees")

 

Her cheap plate and old silverware

for her fake Chinese rice dinner

of fake plastic food

that she bought from the local store

in a town that is so damn poor

that no one sells real rice

it fills her up, it fills her up

it fills her up… it fills her up.

 

It looks like the real thing,

tastes close to the real thing

my fake plastic meal

And I can't help the feeling

that it's slowly killing me

but it's all I can buy

it fills me up, it fills me up

it fills me up... it fills me up.

 

If I could buy some real food, If I could find some real food

All the time, all of the time.

In case you wondered, the Fake Plastic Trees video is "actually an allegory for death and reincarnation but if you can read that into it you must be as weird as the people who made it."  Director of the film, Wikipedia.

And the song after Fake Plastic Trees...Planet Telex...

says more about these markets and the coming aftermath of manipulation.  It is all just a simple matter of time.

Planet Telex

You can force it but it will not come
You can taste it but it will not form
You can crush it but it's always here
You can crush it but it's always near
Chasing you home

Saying...
Everything is broken
Everyone is broken

You can force it but it will stay stone
You can crush it as dry as a bone
You can walk it home straight from school
You can kiss it, you can break all the rules

But still...
Everything is broken
Everyone is broken

Everyone is, everyone is broken
Everyone is, everything is broken

Why can't you forget?
Why can't you forget?
Why can't you forget?

William,

Where is the box of Uncle Ben's Plastic Rice?

Song is nice though.
