“Bummer! We’re still not doing the right thing,” said Shelley Kempner of Queens…

“Concerns have proliferated so much that Senator Charles E. Schumer, a New York Democrat, sent a letter on Sunday to the Food and Drug Administration, urging the agency to investigate the issue.”

Have a nice weekend:). Bambi beware.

Peace, Graubo

Wow, we can’t trust stuff from China, who would know? Next thing they will be telling us the Chinese put plastic by products in their milk.

China’s top export to the U.S. appears to be their surplus of lead.
 
Pretty soon we will be all weaving our own baskets to take with us, while shopping. :banghead:

That is good advice even if the bag is not made in China, they need to be washed so that the gunk on the chicken and meat wrappers doesn’t transfer to the fresh salad or fruit you buy on the following trip to the market.

I refuse to use reusable bags.
  1. You have to wash them, thereby using detergent, water, and other resources (plus I do enough laundry without having to wash BAGS).
  2. What would I put my recycling into?
  3. What would I scoop my litter box into?
  4. What would I pick up my dog poo with?
  5. What would I put my guinea pig poo into?
Paper and plastic are the way to go.
