        I once ate a can of Chinese lychees that had a label with picture of a farm with a nuclear plant on the background in them. I'm still alive no?

        I didnt buy those Chinese lychees again though....

          Sloww: I never said we didnt have products from El Salvador, Guatemala, Pakistan, Malaysia, Mexico, etc...

          The transportation costs are too great for "crappy foreign junk product" to be shipped over the Pacific and through the great United States, so they just make ours in Central America. Which is IMHO at least a little better than China.

            I don't have any problem with Chinese goods other than food. Further, I don't have any problem with Chinese food not made in China.

            But I hear stories coming out of China with regard to food for sale whose ingredients are not as stated...
            I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

                    I remember seeing a small American flag for sale. It said on the tag "Made in China". Whee.

                        Sorry to hijack this thread but I've just read a funny quotes from death comedian bill hicks:
                        "And I knew Bill Clinton became one of the boys when he bombed Iraq. Remember that? It was just a little news story for two days, isn't that interesting? He launched 22 cruise missles against Baghdad in retalliation for the alleged assassination attempt against George Bush which failed. We killed six innocent people, launching twenty two, I think three million dollars-a-piece missles on Baghdad, killing six innocent people. Umm...I think that's a little bit overdoing it if you ask me. You know what we should have done? We should have embarrased the Iraqians. You know what I mean? Here's how we could do it: WE should have assassinated Bush, and said "That's how you do it Towelhead, don't **** with us!". And see, if Bush had been the one who would have died there would have been NO loss of innocent life."
