On the bright side they’ve found a way to market and sell toxic waste.
This is a concern.
China has five times America’s population, in a country roughly the same size.
That, combined with China’ stratospheric growth is a huge pollution concern.
Imagine! Millions of bodies that may not decay.
Finally a positive for free trade?
And the US has the safest food supply in the world but you wouldn’t know it listening to shyster lawyers, proglodytes, and the old media. I have tested Chinese made toys and indeed they are high in lead. Pet food was intentionally spiked with melamine and toothpaste with antifreeze, but hey, let’s all attack US agriculture.
Why worry? It is only the capitalists that are destroying the earth. The Eco-Nuts keep telling us, just like the mental giants that got themselves ice-bound trying to prove their point. The Captain of the vessel tried to warn them but they refused to acknowledge that little thing called reality, especially when the Antarctic is in it’s summer period.
And now they are requesting USCG ice breakers get down there in an attempt to get their ice bound vessels freed because the last I heard, one or two of the other ice breakers were also bound.
Sure would be entertaining to watch that ship just pop out of the ice like a champagne cork when the water under it freezes, somewhere close to our summertime.
‘After three decades of urban growth’ — umhmmm, and after millennia of Night Soil.’
A real disaster. But this is what happens when you lose respect for life.
One more item of interest: COOL labeling is under attack. That’s country of origin labeling so people know where their food comes from, and yet, Monsanto is the chief villain on the planet according to media reporters, because they have taken plant technology to the bench top to provide food for a starving world population. Go figure.
Plant alpine pennycress, harvest, smelt, and replant. The plant concentrates cadmium. Acidifying the soil helps it do so.
Other plants can help remediate soils, too, but they will not be fit for human or animal consumption (alpine pennycress can reach 8000 ppm (0.8%) cadmium in the leaves).
I'm all for labeling, but only if it is done privately. If you saw the soil of some of these American corn farms and what the growth would look like without the injection of ammonia gas, you wouldn't be so celebratory.
I won’t buy any food made in China.
I guarantee those are the first crops they ship to the USA rather than their own markets.
We should not import any food products from China. Anything that does get imported should be labeled “Grown in China; Eat at your own Risk”
Thanks to CONgress, the Chinese will now be processing our chicken. How comforting!
Maybe we should send them so of that genetically modified corn that the rejected to plant in that area.
I really wish FR had a like and dislike button so that the best comments could be sorted to the top.
