Got Milk? Hope It’s Not From China

More and more countries are banning Chinese milk.   According to an article in Bloomberg.com, India, South Korea and France have joined the twenty other countries that will not longer import dairy products from China.   Chinese milk has killed at least four children and has made at least another 50,000 ill.   If you start to consider the different products, the cakes, the chocolates, the variety of processed foods, that may contain this Chinese milk the overall picture is pretty scary.

The Chinese have processed the milk with contaminated fertilizer.   One more thing on the list of Chinese exports, that either contains toxins, that will either kill you or make you sick.   Cheap chemicals in furniture made in China reportedly causes serious allergies.   We all know about the lead in the toys and the melamine in the pet food that sent thousands of pets to their graves due to kidney failure.

We might have forgotten about the ingredients used in anti-freeze in the cheaper Chinese toothpaste.   The fish and seafood has been tainted.  Fomaldhyde, which for decades has been prohibited from use in America, is used freely and frequently in clothing manufactured in China.   With this type of track record, we can be reasonably sure that there are other products that are also contaminated, contain toxins that in some way will do us harm.

It is getting ridiculous.   Every week, it seems, there is a news story about another product made in China that is dangerous in some fashion.   The world raiese hell, and China vows to clean it up.  Maybe they do and maybe they don’t.   Maybe they clean it up just for awhile, until the heat is off.   And then back to business as usual.  Bad business.

So, then the real question becomes how long do we keep buying this junk?   How many kids, pets, and even adults must get sick before we stop buying dangerous products because they are “cheap?”   And what is cheap, if you are taking risks merely by purchasing everyday goods?   It’s amazing to me.

We were once a country that made stuff.  Not just a country that passed paper around and pretended we were a collection of service industries.   We actually made stuff.   We made good stuff.   Our cars, our clothes, our shoes, metals, electronics, they were quality stuff.  Realistically, there are some goods that we will never manufacture again, or maybe on a small scale.  As for the rest, maybe, with the econonmy this lousy and with our needing to change our ways, we can revisit our consumer reflext.  Buy fewer things of quality, that last, rather than a lot of junk that is toxic and falls apart.   And make stuff that is quality, that we can be proud of.   That we can buy.
