But the globalization at any cost crowd told me melamineware is ten cents cheaper so that makes it ok.
It's not supposed to be in food.
Sporks are dangerous if you eat them, but your not supposed to eat the spork.
Hey China-why don’t you just tell us what the melamine IS NOT in-that way we’ll know to avoid everything else.
A little history:
http://www.boonton.org/Community/History.htm
“...In 1891 the Loanda Hard Rubber Company was founded by Edwin A. Scribner, and began the manufacture of molded hard rubber products. Seven years later, Mr. Scribner died, and the management of the firm fell to other hands. Among the latter, in 1906, was Richard W. Seabury, who, casting about for new materials, learned of experiments with synthetic resins made by Dr. Leo Hendrick Baekeland, for whom the well-known material, “Bakelite”, was later to be named. Originally intended by Dr. Baekeland for a synthetic varnish, the new material was used by Seabury in making the world’s first molding of organic plastics in 1907. From that simple and early beginning, one of the world’s great industries developed, and made the name of Boonton famous. Boontonware, a molded plastic dinnerware was sold nationwide.

As far as I know, “Melamine” was about the same as “Bakelite”. I worked for the company founded by the Seaburys for seven years, and two of them were still in charge. Despite the plastic, they were an electrical/electronics company. Jimmy Doolittle used to fly in there and get his gear calibrated now and again.
China must be soaked in this stuff.
I've got some serving pieces that are more than 40 years old. It must not be very fast acting.
This isn’t simply overkill; it’s seriously nutty. Melamine is supposed to be part of plastic plates, etc.
Great! I got all new silver wear and dishes last Christmas. I’m afraid to eat anything and I’m afraid to take any medicine or vitamins. God only knows what’s in them. But, hey.......’ain’t globalism swell? That bunch of traitors who did this to us need to be tried and dealt with according to their involvement in the destruction of America. I really can’t say what I’d like to do to them, or I’d get banned. LOL Suffice to say, they’re idiots!!!
