People are trying to say that garlic from China is so white because they use bleach on it so therefore you shouldn’t eat Chinese garlic or you’ll get sick. Guess which garlic I always get at the market! They also say that peeled garlic from China is unsanitary because the people who do the peeling do so with their mouths rather than using, oh I don’t know, machines? The only evidence of this I’ve seen is a blurry video of like, two women, sitting in a room supposedly peeling garlic with their mouths. The West is not okay…
The secondhand embarrassment I get when these type of videos pop up on my TikTok is immeasurable. It’s rare, but they do slip through the cracks. Sometimes when I see people lapping up these obvious lies I just want to tell them to get a grip and stand up, think for once in your life! That squishy thing in your head? USE IT! I have to hold myself back every time family is around or I’ll risk prematurely disowning myself lol
