Forums > Food & Drink > Organic meat / good butcher in Kunming?

@swopat: You might check out Metro and perhaps Walmart on the supposition that they retain some vestige of Western quality control. This is not to say that their meat will be up to your standards, just that it's probably less bad than virtually all other local options.

I don't include Carrefour because there has been at least one report on here of their selling meat crawling with worms.

That newspaper is seen as particularly problematic by national authorities -- check their Wikipedia page. Whatever your opinion on the underlying merits, it's probably best not to post links to their site here. The story was covered by multiple other outlets that could have been linked to instead.

I would make an appointment at Grace Medical clinic. They are staffed by Western-trained doctors and offer primary/family services as well as some specialty services in-house. In the remainder of cases, they can often give a referral to a Chinese provider.

You start off with an interesting point. It's true that on occasions when it suits his fancy, Peter99 displays erudition as well as something resembling civic-spiritedness. In fact, I believe I upvoted his initial post on this thread when it originally appeared.

But I don't think that's sufficient to negate the coarseness and douchiness he exhibits elsewhere. It seems more accurate to say that he has a curious Jekyll and Hyde act going on.

Well, my initial comment above was intended to address a series of posts by jakefinn on several different threads, of which the post on this router thread was only the most recent. I probably should have made that clearer at the outset.

@sean1: The thing is that it's a weak field, so I don't really support anyone in particular enough to sing their praises. But Buttigieg (fake), Biden (senile) and Klobuchar (bully) are all just blatantly awful. I suppose I could live with Sanders, Warren or even Bloomberg, although they each have serious flaws.

As far as Pete's donor stats, yeah, a lot of people seem to have been bamboozled, which is disappointing to see. And I don't think the fact that he's the poorest candidate gives any reassurance that he won't cater to the interests that have ravaged the country over the past generation. Maybe the opposite.

Also, while I am not a huge fan of Sanders and therefore am reluctant to carry water for him, I don't think the UK results necessarily translate to the US. Corbyn was abysmally unpopular, due in large part to his humorlessness, links to violent extremists and allowing anti-Semitism to fester within his party. Sanders has none of those faults and polls as the most popular active political figure in the US. Plus Labour's traditional electorate was fractured by the all-important Brexit issue, and there is no comparably powerful wedge issue at stake in the US.

An oxymoron. MAD is bi-directional, hence the "mutual". Both sides have reduced leverage over each other under MAD, because threats to use conventional force have low credibility in light of the extreme risks involved.

Turn that smile upside down, sezuwupom. Expressing positive sentiments about fast, comfortable, affordable and environmentally-sustainable new rail connections is not allowed by the comments police. Anyone who is not sufficiently glum will be ridiculed.

Grace is staffed by American doctors and, in my experience, provides the same level of expertise and standard of care that you would expect to find in a good clinic in the U.S. I highly recommend them.
