U.S. food experts headed to China to find out "what's wrong"

Posted on Aug 1st 2007 7:32PM by Brian White

In a move many will call long overdue, a contingent of U.S. food experts arrived in China yesterday to try and understand why there have been so many problems with food items and ingredients sourced from China that have resulted in numerous food recalls in the U.S. recently.

It's hard to know if the delegates will find anything that can be fixed regarding exported food items from China, but with industrial chemicals making their way into pet food last year (which ignited everything), some serious issues must have been happening there. Bacteria is one thing, but solvents and toxic chemicals ending up in the food supply is no small matter.

Add to that the same (and more) chemicals being found in products like toothpaste, cough syrup and fish and it's understandable why sudden scrutiny is happening. Do you trust Chinese ingredients in the food product you eat?

what will it take to make this country understand that this country can make our own toys, and make our own chop sticks, ect....we don't need to play this import export crap, we will save much more money, and we have enough homless here that could use jobs...I say keep our funds here and stop feeding everyone else, when we have hungry here.. about the comment of they support breast feeding, PLEASE are you stupid. they send over toys full of lead based paint to kills our children and you ok with that because they believe in breast feeding? Your nuts...get a freaking life....

I think that's what USA. Gets for sending all our work to other countries and letting our people without work, it takes away our ability to support our families and then they say we don't want to work.. maybe they get a cheaper job done but look how many lives it is costing in the long run. I think USA. Needs to rethink things and Bring work Back Home to the USA. where it belongs. If we give it to them , they will kill us with it. I vote To Bring it Back HOME!!
