Four years after the tainted milk scandal that caused the death of six infants and poisoned hundreds of thousands of children, the trust that Chinese people place in their food has taken a serious beating.

Former journalist and activist blogger Yao Bo investigates these major failings, producing articles on food and environmental scandals. It is estimated that he has over 500,000 avid readers on the Internet.

Building on his success, he has opened a restaurant with the help of subscriptions on Internet. 1,000 investors each gave 600 euros, enabling him to carry out his project. He believes in providing food of irreproachable quality. These high standards come with a price - meals at his restaurant may cost more than elsewhere, but his clientele can fully trace all products they consume, which are entirely organic and sourced on the Web.

Could Yao Bo have invented a new form of protest in the form of organic cooking?
