I’ve complained about how difficult it is to shop for groceries these days trying to avoid products from China due to the melamine tainting episodes of recent days.
I’m not going to link back to that old post of mine made on October 10 lest this be mistaken for a paid post, which it isn’t. Each week since then, I’ve had to peruse grocery products with a fine-toothed comb.
Like I said before, there’s really no way to tell if where each ingredient that went into make a single product comes from. Similarly if you eat out, there’s no way either to know the origins of the ingredients they use to prepare your order.
It’s interesting that this seems to tie in with a report on CNN yesterday about “who is buying food from China” which says Japan and the US are the two biggest importers, and China exports everything from garlic to apple juice to eggs.
So that confirms that it’s impossible to know where stuff comes from that goes into stuff that we continue to eat. Many products have not/will not be tested, and even if they are, some reports may not even be reliable.
With that, I’m off to eat the grass in my garden… bon appetit!
