A ping list dedicated to exposing the quality, safety and security issues of food and other products made in China.
Please FReepmail me if you would like to be on or off of the list.
(This can be a high volume ping list.)
Being covered in toxic human feces and watered with urine does not make something “organic.”
“China” and “organic food” must not be used in the same sentence.
I stopped shopping at Trader Joes for precisely this reason.
I bought Chinese “organic” food there and it made me sick. And really pissed off.
Listen carefully to these deceitful weasel words from Trader Joes: “California-based grocery store chain Trader Joe’s stopped offering some single-ingredient Chinese-grown food products like frozen organic spinach and garlic. While Trader Joe’s says it believes food from China is safe, it decided to take that unusual step due to concern from customers.”
Translation to English: “We still sell Chinese made poisoned, toxic polluted food.”
They use night soil as fertilizer.
Just how much more organic can you get???
I just don’t trust that food from China is as safe as food from the US. Every year, I’m trying to grow more & more of my own vegetables, so I KNOW what they’ve been grown in. With food businesses trying to cut corners everywhere they can - whether by hiring illegals to harvest & process it - or by getting it from China - I just feel like it’s time to bring back the “Victory Garden” concept.
Don’t the tree hugging yuppies that demand organic food worry that importing food from China causes the production of bunches of CO2.
...But then people stopped being trendy, irrational, superficial retards and realized that ALL food is organic, fer crying out loud!</FANTASY>
” She usually shops at Wild Oats or Whole Foods...”
....I wonder how bright the financial future is for outfits like this?....so called “organic” foods can cost 30% more...personally, we’re trying to figure out how to stretch our food budget as it is....not increasing it by buying organic.
China has to do something with a billion turds a day so they work it into the soil, and everything is completely organic. They must be doing something extraordinary to feed those billion people, and still have excess to export.
If it isn’t from my garden or the farmers market, it is always suspect.
Besides, isn’t all food organic? There is no mislabeling unless it is labeled “organicaly grown”.
You mean food raised in human sh++ is not organic!!!! Buy Chinese, it will break before you get it home.
If organic means free of harmful other stuff, someone point out a region in China where they can farm without using polluted water. I suppose their must be one.
It’s amazing. I just read a story in the Chambersburg, PA “Public Opinion” about a Mennonite farmer who got fined $4000 and had his equipment taken away for selling raw milk products “without a permit”. Thousands have consumed these products without any problem, but yet, we allow millions of dollars of tainted Chinese products to come in here.
Problem is, much China grown food is not marked. Such as food marked 'Distributed by' or ingredients that are never marked on the outside of prepared foods.
It’s time to bring back the “Victory Garden” mentality to those who do have yards and pots to grow in. I remember food gardens were standard in every yard no matter how small.
Get those seeds going!
The basic difference between regular and organic foods. Regular food is grown in chemicals, organic food is grown in poop and tends to be more expensive. Which one do you want?
It's time we started leaning on our damned politicians for a little more truth in labeling. TJ had to stop selling "single-ingredient" foods from China because it says "Made in China" on the label. But if only SOME of the ingredients are made in China, they don't have to label it.
That is now true of a lot of foods and medicines. The ingredients may come mostly from China, but there's no way to tell. And if anyone thinks that FDA inspectors are about to protect us from Chinese poisoning, forget about it.
Because anything grown in a polluted country like China does not stand much of a chance of being really organic.
