Quite a bold statement, given China's recent history.

- rurounijones 7y agoI actually read it in a very dark way. Same as "You will never be hungry when you have some dwarf bread" (i.e you would be willing to eat anything else). Given the history and what starving people are willing to eat, the saying takes a pretty black humour quality

- mytailorisrich 7y agoThis was 60 years ago... Nowadays China is a cornucopia of food of all sorts.
