Voted : i am not likely to buy products from china when they start making their own
hear about the food vendors in china that sell this snack that is pork baked in puff bread? and undercover tv report followed one guy into his shack. it was filthy and there was cardboard on the floor. guess what? he was cooking the cardboard and passing it off as bread! he would soak it in this solution that is acutally poisionous and then cook it in hot oil and it looked just liked the puff bread. mmmm, mmmm, good!
I didn't realise fisher-price were made in China, I'm not surprised though.
As for Elmo, I've always thought he was a bit of a c*nt.
why the hatin' on elmo? didn't he laugh when you tickled him?
The Chinese are lazy, messy and unhygenic bastards.

I cna't comment in this, because I live in Jawja, and we've passed out tainted peanut butter and chili in the past six months...
^ for cripes sake truthseeker! just comment on the gd ballot and stop with the self-deprication. good lord! there is no comparison here. don't you read the news? man, you need some self-confidence fast.
led paint, tainted pet food, poisionous food additives, crappy latptops, the list goes on and you talk about an isolated incidence on freaking peanut butter. take a stand man!

Is it ok to eat chinese food? Its usually cooked by mexicans anyway, right?
^ ever see the kitchen in a chinese restaurant? i don't care who's running the place -- one peek was all i needed.

I'm making every effort to avoid buying the TOXIC SHIT that China is sending to the US. If it says "made in China" I do my best to find a similar product made elsewhere - even if it costs more or I don't buy anything.
Hang on before I decide, where's the rampant rabbit made?

I like chinese food sometimes but when i eat the meat it sometimes doesn't have the texture of real chicken, it almost has too much fat in between the chunks and it makes me think i'm eating cat, because chicken is more gamy, and some of their meat is an odd texture to me...so i avoid chinese food and ofcourse all their stuff is junk, like their shelves and tables and chairs and stuff and bigger things like cars and trucks, and i would never buy one of those and definatly avoid riding in the plane! lol
see, fiddle takes a stand.
^ Was the stand made in China?
^ why yes, yes it was. and that's why the stand crumbled and now lay in a heap of crumbled wood upon the floor. poor shoddy stand.

Kev, since selling dangerous products is unwise--just from a business standpoint, have you wondered why this kind of thing happens?
^ well i kind of know why this happens applerod. knowing a "china expert" who spends most of his time there, he tells horror stories about the conditions -- they will subsitute inferior chemicals and additives to save money, they routinely pay off government and military officials to look the other way. bascially, it's a massively corrupt system and they are all about profits. some communist country. these aren't accidents, these are blatant attempts by the establishment in china to milk out every penny of profit they can and their attitude if caught? deny it all then find some scapegoat and execute him. just like they did to their version of the fda chairman a few weeks ago.
What is your friend's field of expertise, if you don't mind me asking? I'm absolutely not suggesting that there aren't many, many legitimate criticisms to be levied against China; though I don't see why "they" shouldn't have almost every right to pursue profit with the same fervor and (variable) disregard for ethics that drives the power-seeking behavior of the United States ("greed is good").
There are some within the U.S. who see poverty as deliberate and the fault of the poor. There is a little truth to that, but more truth to the fact that the class one is born into is the primary limiting factor on movement within the socioeconomic ladder -- which itself is limited to 1 rung (of 9) a generation, except in extremely rare cases.
Also, when the U.S. passed the Pure Food and Drug Act (1906), the Chinese Empire was 5 years away from crumbling. Then there was World War I, the Chinese 'civil war', World War II, Mao and the 'Cultural Revolution'... so they got off to a late start.
(I did find it funny in kind of a sick way that after the outcry over tainted Chinese products, they executed the Minister of Health(name?).)
that's what they get for embracing capitalism.
at least it gets reported. i'm sure the same shit happens in american factories, it's just covered up.

Are you kidding? I wouldn't buy anything made in China if I had a choice. Fisher Price used to make good quality toys (in the U.S.A.) which literally lasted a lifetime. I bought them for my kids after I grew up. Now what do I find for my grandkids? CRAP, CRAP AND MORE CRAP!
