Tainted China


Why didn't we know about this before?
I have a simple question here.

If the FDA can't be trusted to keep tainted food out of the stores, why are we paying them?

These were among the 107 food imports from China that the Food and Drug Administration detained at U.S. ports just last month, agency documents reveal, along with more than 1,000 shipments of tainted Chinese dietary supplements, toxic Chinese cosmetics and counterfeit Chinese medicines.

For years, U.S. inspection records show, China has flooded the United States with foods unfit for human consumption. And for years, FDA inspectors have simply returned to Chinese importers the small portion of those products they caught -- many of which turned up at U.S. borders again, making a second or third attempt at entry.

Absolutely the blame lies with China. They are shipping tainted products.

But for all the promises that the American public would be protected, where is the FDA? This was a serious and ongoing problem that stretches back years.

I can think of no better proof that you can't depend on the power of the State to protect you from harm.
