Good find!! :)

BTW, we have experienced a big increase in Autism in this country. There has to be a cause.

She sent the bibs, which were made in China and sold at Wal-Mart

Although I am not usually a proponent of government regulation or interference, this is a perfect case for it.

I posted to you in the other thread—I hope you don’t mind! I thought it was SO important for people to know about this!

She sent the bibs, which were made in China and sold at Wal-Mart, to the Center for Environmental Health in Oakland, Calif., which had done the research on the lunch boxes.

Let the free marketeers justify this.

If anyone has any links to this outfit that sells lead tests, post it!

On FR in the last few weeks I’ve read two people saying that their dishes (ceramic ware made in China) tested positive for lead. Notice how all ceramic ware now says “made in China” on the bottom?

We are now eating out of stainless steel bowls and drinking out of mason jars until we test our dishes for lead.

At this point, we tell Chinese suppliers they have two options:

A. Take out the lead.

B. Don’t sell your sh*t here.

I prefer C: buy American (or other northern hemisphere) bibs, from countries who adhere to the rule of decent law.

I use stainless and glass everywhere I can. I cringe when I see people microwaving stuff in plastic, sytrofoam or *microwavable* containers. I can’t help but wonder what chemical reactions are occurring when those microwaves hit the plastic or the plastic becomes hot from the food.

No, only one option. The second one. I didn’t trust them before when there was nothing to put your finger on. I trust them less now that it’s been verified.

Hah, nice try. I guess when rational arguments fail, you start looking around for anecdotes. Kind of like the Virginia-killer-proves-we-need-gun-control arguments.

1. Harvests prisoners for organs
2. Kills US pets
3. Poisons US babies
4. Steals US tech
5. Counterfeits everything
5. Threatens to vaporize LA

Name that country.

LOL!

Yes! If logical arguments come up short, let's try to start a emotional stampede
