A little internet research comes up with things like:
Layous and others cite a 2002 report by the now-defunct Americans for Wholesome Food, a coalition of businesses and organizations dedicated to educating consumers, on domestic and imported garlic powder. The AWF's report, based on independent lab tests, found "high levels of lead, arsenic and added sulfites in two supermarket-brand imported garlic powders from store shelves."
Groan...everyone needs to be pinged to THAT. The govt DOES NOT CARE, and they have the nerve to say that our health care system needs an overhaul!
The food they import is playing a role in the health of our nation—
We know the govt needs and overhaul, and part of it is getting china and whatever debt we owe them out of our economy!
