The deal last week by Shuanghui, China's largest pork producer, to buy U.S. pork company Smithfield at a big premium shows how much Chinese are willing to pay for safe food. 上周中国最大的猪肉生产商双汇给出大幅溢价，宣布收购美国猪肉制造商史密斯菲尔德，由此可以看出，中国人为了安全的食品不吝付出高价。 After a spate of food scandals, it is no surprise that consumers in China are hugely concerned about food safety. David Laris, a chef and creator of several high-end restaurants in Shanghai, reckons that if a family of four in Shanghai eats just organic food, the grocery bill would be about $600 a week. 'At home, we spend too much money buying food; there is no shortcut financially, ' he said. 在一系列和食品有关的丑闻之后，中国普通消费者当然非常重视食品安全。在上海开了几家高级餐厅且担任大厨的David Laris说，如果一个上海的四口之家只吃有机食品，那么一周买菜的开销就有三四千元人民币之多，“我们在买菜上花太多钱了，在这方面的开支没法走捷径”。 But industry insiders, doctors and consumers say there are ways to reduce the risks of eating food produced in China without going over budget. 但通过同业内行家、医生还有普通消费者的访谈后发现，中国消费者还是有既降低“中国制造”的食品风险，同时又不超出预算的办法的。 |
