Chinese and foreigners take part in an annual tomato and food fight party in Beijing on July 6, 2014. A few hundred tomato-slinging party-goers took part in what organizers called a mini La Tomatina - a tomato-flinging festival that is sometimes called the world's biggest food battle. Many of China's big cities host annual mini "La Tomatina" food fights, which has drawn criticism from the public as a regrettable waste of food. UPI/Stephen Shaver
