I try to avoid everything from china, which of course is impossible..
however, I do look at everything and if there's a non-chinese option I'll go with it even if it's more expensive. the damn red chinese are the thing everyone should fear. they're out to destroy us and unfortunately pretty much everyone is ignoring the problem
BTW, there's no way I'd buy any food from there and the walmart cat food from there killed my cat.
so I don't shop at walmart anymore either. that actually is possible and pretty easy to do
Unfortunately, you have to depend on the american companies to know where their raw materials came from... serious stuff.
Yes, I believe my little doggie did get hold of some tainted food as well. Made her sick, though she made it through. I do believe it hastened her demise at age 17 (lymphoma) a few months later.
Chinese officials have acknowledged there is a problem with the safety of their exports. I bet they'll fix it.. they make way too much money on exports to ignore the problem.
I am hoping it doesn't come to this, where we have to buy food made in China. We are losing so much of ourselves, we need to preserve the food we do produce and keep it going. I went to China in 2002, to communist China and had to eat there. Very nice hotel, but everthing tasted like fish. It was gross, it was even grosser to watch the chinese eat. We went to an auithentic chinese lunch and it was disgusting, fish heads, weird things, and the constantly spit out food as they eat it. It was sooooo grooossssss
It makes me wonder why they openly admitted it. Did they get caught with something? Were they challenged by somebody? Hard telling. But it is very odd for them to step forward and admit something like this unless they were forced to.
Is there a law that the country of origin for food has to be on the label? The more I read the more I seriously don't want to touch anything (especially food) from china..
