No kebabs means better air quality

China are so desperate to improve the air quality in Beijing for next years Olympics, that they have been around the city and decided to ban the street markets that sell food, in particular kebabs because they use wood to cook with this creates a problem of its own through the smoke given off.

There are other polluters that will also get the same treatment, but it’s the food vendors who face the biggest hardship, as this is their livelihood and once they have been cleared out of the city it is doubtful that they will be allowed to return.

Many people have been complaining about the air quality including the athletes too, which makes you wonder why the city was chosen in the first place.
