First, let me qualify my question and my subsequent comments by the admission that we are NOT in favor of “globalism.” We think that the concept is VERY dangerous to the health and welfare to the citizens of the United States of America.

That being said, We are infuriated by the daily reports of China’s shipping of poisonous food and food-related products into the U.S. China has inundated us with poisonous products including pet foods, fruits and juices, vegetables, meat products, seafood, toothpaste, and God knows what else.

Many of our elected officials, who could not care less about our health, permit this travesty in the name of “open-trade” and “globalism.”

• So, what can we do to protect ourselves from China’s poisonous products?
• What are YOU doing to protect yourself?
• What suggestions do you have for the rest of us?

I know that this is not a political forum, nor should it be. However, the problem of people being sickened (and in some cases, dying) from eating imported crap . . . insufficiently regulated by our government . . . is worthy of rational discussion.

A hearty "Here Here" to Trader Joes for PROTECTING OUR HEALTH by refusing to stock cheap Chinese food.
