Netizens Queasy After Chinese Family Shares Photo Of Toddler Urinating On Their Meal

The mother explained that the child didn’t wear disposable diapers at home and usually just used cloth or let him be bear. 

Chinese netizens were left astounded that a family ate the food their toddler son had just urinated on. According to the South China Morning Post (SCMP), the incident came to light after a mother from Beijing said in a post that her young son who was held by his grandmother, suddenly urinated but since he wasn’t wearing a diaper it landed on their food. 

The mother shared the photo that captured the moment when her toddler’s urine reached the table, which likely was breakfast that included steamed buns, eggs and vegetables.

Netizens expressed disbelief and one user asked, “So, did you guys end up eating that food?” Much to everyone’s shock, she said that everyone ate the food. She explained that the baby’s grandparents did not mind, so the family continued to eat.

The mother also explained that the child didn’t wear disposable diapers at home and usually just used cloth or let him be bear. 

“We do not cover it because it is better not to interrupt the child while he is urinating,” she wrote, according to SCMP.

The mother also boasted about her photo-taking skills and said, “Mum’s snapshot skills are quite good.”

In traditional Chinese culture, the urine of young boys is believed to hold “mysterious powers” with various health benefits and spiritual benefits such as warding off evil spirits and enhancing good fortune, as per the report.

Urine from boys under the age of 10 is considered particularly potent, specifically, the first morning’s urine collected on the day before a boy turns one month old, according to the SCMP report.

According to Reuters, there is a famous recipe from southern China called "virgin boy eggs", buckets of boys' urine are collected from primary school toilets, and eggs are soaked and boiled in the urine, preferably below the age of 10. The dish is believed to prevent drowsiness in spring and heatstroke in summer.
