  • Discussion keeps the world turning.

  • This is round table.

  • You've probably seen it, too.

  • Potato chips supposedly developed by some institutes or academies of agricultural sciences.

  • And you may have wondered, like I did, are these really healthier and tastier than the regular chips under other domestic or international brands?

  • Well, Shanghais consumer rice watchdog has got to the bottom of this question by investigating more than a dozen products listed on shopping platforms.

  • And the findings are not going to make you happy if you already spent money for such products.

  • Hello, Im Li Ming, and this is roundtable today with my colleague Niu Hong and our guest Steve Hatherley.

  • We will find out whether we should place our trust on products allegedly developed by institutions of agricultural sciences and what can be done to build that trust.

  • China Exclusive.

  • I'm not aware of any brands outside of this country that claims to have been developed by, you know, institutions of higher learning that focus on the study of agricultural products.

  • Oh, come on.

  • Tell me you can resist this.

  • Shi Zhuang oatmeal developed by Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences or Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences potato chips or Yantai Academy of Agricultural 25 sweet potatoes.

  • I mean, I even wonder about the first 24.

  • And honey from Yangzhou University and chocolate from the Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences.

  • I'm going to buy them instantly after the show.

  • I mean, I didn't used to know so much about all these products.

  • I've only had my fair share of the sweet potatoes.

  • They are very, very sweet.
