Currently
food and other big manufactures like Colgate-Palmolive hide behind
"Made in USA or Manufactured in USA" whereas the actual
ingredients are coming from cheap places like China and cancer
causing nuclear contaminated Japan. We know for sure that China plays
a big role in ingredients for our food supply because a report to
congress states that number being 4.9 Billion dollars a year (and
that was for 2007--the trend has been more and more every year).
China
had become the third largest source of US agricultural and seafood
imports. Additionally, as stated in the report below, these imports
increased roughly fourfold from 433,000 metric tons (MT) and $1
billion in 1997 to 2.1 million MT and $4.9 billion in 2007. I was not
aware of this either.

The
best part? If you try to inquire if anything in a product you eat
regularly has ingredients from China or Japan in it, they won't tell
you!! They say its "proprietary", none of your business. So
if you want to protect yourself or your family from eating
ingredients from China or Japan, you can't, because they wont tell
you.
This
goes for other things like makeup, shampoos, toothpaste, and
sunscreen too. We slather sunscreen on our kids every summer and
bathe in chemicals. From where? That stuff gets absorbed into our
skin. We have no clue where all that is from. Think about that for a
minute. Where are all those ingredients from that we eat, that get
absorbed into our skin through makeup and sunscreen? Do you know?
Call your favorite company and ask them. Chances are good they won't
tell you and that's not right.
It's
not right that we live in a free county and we don't have access to
that basic information. If you agree that this is an outrage,
SIGN the petition on the above link to share with those you know and
love.
