What do you think about all of this concern about China and the really bad way they have of handling foods and the poor conditions in their factories where they are using toxic chemicals that are making people sick and making people die.
Do you still buy items that are made in China, especially those that have been found to be contaminated recently or in the past? Are you concerned enough to quit buying from China, and to ask our govenment to stop importing from China and outsourching our factories to China?
It has gotten to the point that I have started to check all labels and have put back something that I wanted or needed because it was made in China. It seems to me China is trying to poison the entire world, including their own people with their lack of responsible manufacturing and their use of chemicals that they know are going to hurt, injure or kill people. I don't think I am being paranoid here or jumping to conclusions when I say that the US and all other countries need to ban the import and the outsourcing from China.
Especially when it comes to the children, like the contaminated lead paint on kids toys and now the melemine in baby formulas. How do you feel about this?

Hey misskit, Unfortunately I would have to agree with you.
I am definitely concerned about what is going on in China
with all the things that are happening with the food, toys
and other products that are coming from there. I think that
all of the product should be banned immediately that come
from China. They don't seem to be able to protect their
own people right now and the USA government should step in
to at least protect our people from getting sick from the
products that are being outsourced. They have control of
what comes in and what goes out and knowing that there is
such a danger with products coming from China they should
stop importing products before anything else happens to
American people like is happening to the Chinese.
