Tainted milk powder, what next?

We are off to Columbia SC today to visit with Pete and look at some houses...Yeah!

Is anyone else as appalled at this whole Chinese tainted milk powder incident as I am am? I am stunned at how a government could allow more than 50,000 children to get sick under it's nose....

About two years ago when it seemed that everything coming out of China was tainted or being recalled for something, Pete and I made a conscious decision to try and not bring products made in China into our home. Crazy! Because it seems that now a days, everything is made in China! Anyhow, at least it has allowed us to be more conscious of what we do bring into the house and what we allow the kids to play with and eat.

I only hope that if the thousands of other recalls and tainted products produced by the Chinese over the years hasn't alarmed and stunned the rest of the world into banning their products, perhaps this one will....

this is a tough one, i am looking at my favorite yummy green tea drink from our local gas station i picked up after taking the kids to school. it's made in the good ol' USA, but... the bottle was made in China. *grrrrr*

where do you guys find toys not made in china? seems like everything my kids want (which is EVERYTHING) is made there, i worry.

yes i do agree with you, how could this happen after so much scrutiny was placed on imports from China recently. It just shows us that WE are in charge of what comes into our homes, not some higher power attempting to keep us safe.

Nothing from China seems to be safe, and everything comes from there. I worry about plastic bottles, plastic cups, plastic anything. I worry about all the toys, very few of which are produced here. It's maddening!

Have a safe trip and I hope you find a great house!
