Chef's food decoration at Chinese pre-school poisons 233 children with lead
More than 200 children are being treated in hospital with lead poisoning in north-west China after school chefs used inedible paint to decorate their food.
Eight people have been arrested after tests showed the food samples from a kindergarten in Tianshui City in Gansu province had lead levels that were 2,000 times over the national safety limit.
...
The paint was clearly marked as inedible, the statement said.
...
It is not known how long the paint has been used in the food, but several parents told Chinese state media that their children have been complaining of stomach and leg pain and a lack of appetite since March.

Are these adults incredibly dumb? Or did they actually hate the children?
