China - Clean Water for the Elite

In a disturbing article about the milk scare in China, InsideBayArea.com reports:

BEIJING—While China grapples with its latest tainted food crisis, the political elite are served the choicest, safest delicacies. They get hormone-free beef from the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, organic tea from the foothills of Tibet and rice watered by melted mountain snow.


Polluted water for the people's agriculture, clean water for the elite. Those with money and power usually can access better products, but water is sacred.
