Shanghai housewives are striking back against profit-hungry mooncake
manufacturers by calling on people to make their own.

The accomplished cooks have posted detailed instructions on how to make
mooncakes on the Internet, complete with personal tips and photos.

The housewives claim that most mooncakes sold on the market are too rich
in sugar and fat. They also criticize the products for being
unnecessarily over-packaged.

One woman who wrote an online mooncake recipe said it's easy to find all
the ingredients in a supermarket. She added that her home-made mooncakes
are healthy and bond the family together.

This year the Moon Festival, or Mid-Autumn Festival, falls on October 6.
