Given all the (snide or even relevant) remarks removed from a certain China-centric article from yesterday, I''m amazed at what''s being allowed in today''s article.

[airboatboy1]

And stay away from the fortune cookies! The f#####g things lie!

[myopinion1]

WHY are companies having their product turned into deadly c.r.a.p over in China? PROFIT. Sickening. I hope they lose their business over this. I''m so sick of these cheap companies playing with our lives.

Mmmm...if you were really wanted to do it, you could have an inside garden. I mean, it would take a lot of care and work, but you could definitely have something if you make some room., hydroponic or otherwise...

"The reality is that not many people can have a garden."

That is very true.

[jng123-2009]

That would be great if we had a garden. We live in the city and we don''''t have a place to have a garden.
I guess if it was a perfect world and everybody could have gardens, that would work. The reality is that not many people can have a garden. So we have to go to the store and buy our food.

nordeck52 is talking about the garden you should have in your back yard. The one that doesn''''t have any sprays or chemicals on it.

Not necessarily. Go to a garden and pick some veggies, then serve them with your meal (the other stuff in the meal is irrelevant). Then try telling somebody you don''''''''t know where you got your veggies from.

And just what garden and what stuff in the meal that you say is irrelevant are you talking about.
The only place around here to buy food is the grocery store. We do get some veggies at the local farmers market in the summer, but I''''m really not too sure where that comes from.

Is this what we get from shipping our jobs to China? This is another proof of this administration''''s bad judgment on economy, public safety and wellfare.

Great example of an uneducated, uninformed individual who is probably of voting age this year...Um, China and the US have been doing business for years through many administrations. If you don''t like it, then don''t buy things with the little tag that says "made in China"

China sent the USA bad Pet Food that killed hundreds of people pets. They used the industrial chemical melamine to make the milk seem high in protein when they watered the milk down and added the melamine.

Its a wake up call now for the Govt of China to Shape UP and regulate your industries or we will ban your products. Its a good thing because this is the 2nd time Melamine has gotten China in trouble and they are loosing millions of dollars a day in exports.

3rd time will be the charm and I bet that going to be less then 3 years down the road until it happens.

Hmmm...

Yes, greed certainly is a major part of the problem. Many companies in the U.S., and other countries, are chasing bigger profits through lower labor costs.

However, sadly, many of these companies have been learning the very hard way that cheaper is not always better.

Within the past ten years, there have been sooo many incidents with product safety involving Made in China products, it boggles the mind.

There is a Made in China product proliferation, involving most any product whether it be clothing, a bath mat, a tea kettle, or shoes.

If you need to replace an item, it is difficult not to buy it if the only availability is Made in China. In other words, it is difficult to boycott Chinese items.

Consumers must come together, to find a way to let companies know that enough is enough, that we are tired of buying crappola, hazardous, products.

[nordeck52]

I have said it before and I will say it again. There is no way to know where the ingredients in our foods come from. I wish there was a way to tell but right now there''''s not.

"Wake up America don''''t buy made in china products!"

Posted by zorar at 11:24 AM : Sep 29, 2008

We can''t wake up. We''re all braindead from having our food poisoned over the years and not knowing it.


"War looks very different today...
Are the Chinese winning???"

Posted by inventagod2 at 01:02 PM : Sep 29, 2008

Yes, I think they are.:)


I''ve said it before. What a better way to take over the world?

[notopennshut]

It''s a matter of GREED!! These well-known and long-established companies want huge profits and resort to finding them in other countries, especially China which has low paid workers. Of course China will now allow outside quality control and these companies are just as happy to "trust" the Chinese authorities because what they pay in bribes is usually less than setting up their own controls in China. Thus, people and animals are dead. Until we stop the profit-eager companies of investing in this kind of scheme, no one is safe. Everyone should protest and STOP purchasing anything "made in China" in order to show that we will not tolerate these dangerous practices. The US should be the first one to do it since most of the products sold here are from China. So the people may have to pay more for goods and food that is safe, In the end that will be less expensive than death or having to pay all your medical bills. We should begin this blockade right now before it is too late.

How you spend your dollars and how you cast your vote has more power to change things than any politician of government. Learn about what you are doing. We are the idiots!

[luvcomments]

It''s not just that finished products are imported from China or made in China by our American companies, ingredients are imported from China and elsewheree and used in American-made products. From the beginning, this global market fiasco has been a corruption on the part of "big money" with sheer greed as the power behind it, with absolute zero interest in what it does to any individual or even country - just look at the mess we''re in all the way around from global inter-action between the banks and our debt and everything you can think of. Why do we always seem to put our wellbeing in the hands of educated idiots? They have only one goal - enriching themselves. The old concept of separate countries doesn''t apply any more. They are all merely markets in one massive global playground for the manipulators.
