“I found the information about Vitamin C interesting. I had no idea that many of our vitamins came from China.”

On a related topic, just what the HELL does our FDA do anymore?

Exactly what they've always done. Take taxpayers' money and play at being bureaucrats, just like the rest of our government. See my tag line.

They're only responsible for testing 80% of the food supply. The individual processors are responsible for testing the other 20%.

The FDA wants more of their responsibility given to processors and distributors due to a lack of funding and manpower.
