Fixing a corrupt system with up to 800 million players?

On April 1 of this year I wrote a commentary essay under the headline “China Killed Your Dog.” I said at the time that the mainstream media seemed to be brushing this story under the carpet.
The red meat of “China Killed Your Dog” is this: Chinese food manufacturers use all kinds of inexpensive products as filler and other agents in things like pet food, soy sauce, toothpaste and chewing gum.
And they don’t care if the product is toxic.

China didn’t kill my dog, but I’m going to kill him if he pees on the carpet again.

A full boycott is in order.
Yes, you can now join the millions of happy and prosperous Chinese citizens taking advantage of the growing numbers of American and Western multinational corporations “outsourcing” their production to the hard-working and industrious people of China. This outsourcing has now spread to their food supplies and ingestible items. Since these firms pay us for gross weight – and this new weight will be pretty gross – and the stupid American government only spot-checks imported items in these categories (they just got lucky on the anti-freeze thing), it has opened an entirely new opportunity which our beloved Chairman is offering to any Chinese citizen willing to do a little of what the foolish Americans call “grunt work.”
Installing one of these state-of-the-art food additive production facilities behind YOUR hovel is as simple as clipping the coupon below and sending it to the address shown. Your production plant will be shipped to you in 4 to 6 weeks. Supplies are limited so don’t fart around. ACT NOW!! 
These silly Americans have an expression we have “borrowed” and modified to describe this new and exciting venture: “Don’t give me any s**t.”
Our motto will be “We won’t GIVE you any s**t. But we’ll SELL it to you fools at a really great price.”

Hair Soy Sauce: A Revolting Alternative to the Conventional
Abstract
Recent reports of problem foods in Mainland China have raised global concerns about the safety of Chinese food products. Drawing on reliable data extracted from Chinese newspapers, magazines and the Internet, this report, the second in the series, takes a closer look at the hair-made soy sauce, a common kitchen-accessory for marinating and seasoning foods. It seeks to inform the scientific and medical communities regarding the potential short- and long-term epidemic consequences of consuming such soy sauce
[NOTE: The journalists then found the amino acid syrup manufacturer (a bioengineering company) in Hubei province. When asking how the amino acid syrup (or powder) was generated, the manufacturer replied that the powder was generated from human hair. Because the human hair was gathered from salon, barbershop and hospitals around the country, it was unhygienic and mixed with condom, used hospital cottons, used menstrual cycle pad, used syringe, etc.]
This company makes amino acids and sells them as a food supplement out of Shenyang. I can't help but wonder what else the amino acids are made out of. The hospital they harvest body parts from is right there.
The technicians admitted that they would not consume the human-hair soy sauce because the dirty and unhygienic hair was used to make amino acid syrup ( 1, 2 ). A quality monitoring staff also revealed that though the hair may not be toxic itself, it definitely consisted of bacteria and other micro-organisms ( 1 ).
Step one: collect Human Hair from Hospital.
WHAT HOSPITAL? Liaoning Provincial Thrombosis Hospital?
Heart recipients' hospital has China death-row link (Liaoning mentioned at this thread)

Magi, a popular soy-sauce like product used in Germany is now made in China. I was at a German restaurant enjoying a bowl of goulash soup and almost splashed some Magi into my soup until I read the label.
Magi is synonomous with German cuisine, and yet it’s now made in China.
You mean this Maggi?
Next time, you might wanna check your tub of Skippy. Made in China for years now.
“Next time, you might wanna check your tub of Skippy. Made in China for years now.”
My God. What makes the crunch in the crunchy Skippy?
“On the bright side, you soup won’t freeze at -20 F.”
The first laugh of the day!
LOL!! And my cat tried to kill me this morning by weaving between my ankles on the way to the kitchen.
This is scary. I checked my jar of Skippy peanut butter that I got at Costco. It says that it is manufactured in New Jersey by Unilever. I did a search at the Unilever website, and it confirms that Skippy is in the product line produced in Asia:
“CPC/Aji’s leading brands, which accounted for more than 80 per cent of its total 2002 sales of some US$330 million, include the internationally known Hellmann’s mayonnaise, Knorr soups and bouillon, and Skippy peanut butter. Local brands include Lady’s Choice dressings, and Royal pasta.” http://www.unilever.com/ourcompany/newsandmedia/pressreleases/2003/20030218_cpc-aji_asia.asp
If products produced with foreign ingredients are not indicated on the label, how are we to make informed decisions on the products we buy?
Szegediner ?
Household goods—dishes, pots and pans, even clothing—are labeled Made in China. Vitamins only indicate who the distributor is, usually the distributor is the same name as the brand name, with a city and state or USA after the distributor’s name. But I guess they’re not required to disclose where the vitamins are made. This probably goes for a lot of other products that we consume.
It’s ALL A CONSPIRACY I TELL YA!..........Poison Dog Food so that all the Elderly Baby Boomers will die off early and save Social Security from financial collapse!.................
You can't, of course. That's the point. They're trying to conceal from you the fact that these foods are made in China because they know you'd be much less likely to buy them if you knew. Half the reason we buy certain products, like peanut butter, is because we associate them with our happy American childhood.
Frankly, I think that if the container says "manufactured in New Jersey" it's deceptive and actionable. Which means Unilever could be sued to pieces for deceptive practices.
“I looked at my blusher makeup this a.m. and it’s made in China. Time to get some new blusher, but I wonder if any of it is made here anymore?”
Hello Carolyn, If you were to look into how cosmetics are tested you might decide to stop purchasing them altogether. In the late 1970’s I read a book exposing the cruel and inhuman ways companies test hair dye and eye liner and the like. I have never used any of those products since then. It has never been worth it to me for one of God’s creatures to be tortured just so I could paint my eyes. Of course, until I read that book I was blissfully unaware. I am sure my decision didn’t stop the practice but I do not have that on my soul’s tally sheet.
