Americans need to be aware of foods' origins

Tuesday, August 14, 2007 11:57 AM EDT

Are you aware?
Has anyone thought or seen packages of your food items, and where they are made?

Recent concerns of tainted food items brought to my attention that I never knew how much we receive from China, and how much tainted products came from there.

I recently checked my labels of products of consumption, and saw only where they were distributed, not where they were made.

Our clothing, shoes, novelties, etc., state where they were made on labels, but not on any food and cosmetic products. Think about it.

Products we consume, should have a priority of where made, other than where distributed.

The Food and Drug Administration should have something to do about this, you think?

Fact: Products come from other parts of the world, shipped to United States and labeled states where distributed here, like New York City, or similar U.S. cities.

Read the labels.

Where do they come from?

Fact: Lead paint on many children's toys, Mattel toys, Fisher Price, major companies, all products we assumed were safe for our children, recalled. How did lead paint get into our country, especially on toys, and given to our children?

Are these countries trying to harm us?

Think about it.

I know I am dreaming, but how about we employ people who need work here, and produce safe American made products, again, like we used to.

Stop saving money and cutting costs by supporting other countries at the expense of an American's health.

" Since the past weeks recalls on toys--my 8yr old has started reading all the labels on her toys--she has summed it up to "everything is made in china" She says she no longer wants toys made in china--only those made in the USA..I informed her that she is making a good stand for only being 8--BUT that means she would not be puchasing future POKEMON games--SHE THOUGHT,then DECIDED well maybe a couple of things from china she will buy! Today another 9 million toys recalled--"oh my gosh, there goes the polly pockets"!!!! "
