'Ratball' soup report sparks protest in Indonesia

JAKARTA, Indonesia -- Dozens of soup vendors rallied outside an
Indonesian TV station Wednesday over a news report that alleged some
sellers were using rat to make meatballs for their broth.

The protesters complained that the report was hurting their business.

Trans TV allowed five of the protesters into the building to hear their
complaints -- but told them it stood by the report, which was aired on
Dec. 31.

"We said it was true and backed up by our findings in the field," said
Trans spokesman Ichwan Murni. "We have a duty to inform our viewers
about the facts."

The report, which aired Dec. 31, featured a taped confession of a man
admitting using rat meat to make the balls, known here as bakso.

The food scare is the latest in a series that have hurt sales at
restaurants and small-scale vendors nationwide. Last week, local media
reported that dangerous amounts of formaldehyde were being used to
preserve fish, noodles and bean curd. (AP)

as for rat meat, I used to know a bunch of young accounting guys who
audited food production plants in the Red States and from them I learned
that the Food Channel's Unwrapped isn't showing you the rat (and phlegm)
in a popular spaghetti sauce and the floor sweepings attitude towards
very popular breakfast cereal.
