Lately everyday we read and hear about the gross corruption this country has been subjected to over the last couple of decades, not that we weren't aware of it, it's just that the level of corruption surpassed our worst nightmares. Obviously anybody could commit the biggest crime against the egyptian people and not be even questioned about it, even worse such people had government sponsorship.
Today I just realized how this fact impacts me personally, if they've spent the last 3 decades liquifying and selling our country's assets and had the ability and the lack of conscious to go on national tv justifying their acts as beneficial to Egypt and to us, imagine what they sold to us as food, just the thought makes me shudder.
I just figured out that all the major food producers must have been corrupt or at least playing nice with corruption, they could escape with anything since they had no governmental supervision of any kind. The question now is what have we been eating over the last few years, actually thinking about it every bite I had was an adventure, most probably with contents I have never knew existed let alone edible.
The up side though is that people usually pay obscene amounts of money to eat exotic things, weve been getting that luxury imposed on us for free.
