Hong Kong for the 2nd time in a week they have found a batch of eggs imported from China that contain high levels of melamine, the same industrial chemical that has been blamed for contaminating China's milk supplies. Terrorists couldn't do more damage...

A simple remedy is NOT to buy anything from China.

TY, Go V.

Why would you buy your eggs from China? I just don't get it. It's not about them being from China in particular it's just that my eggs come from within a couple of dozen miles of my house. I make sure of it. I don't pay much more for organically raised chicken than people pay for store bought factory farmed eggs. There is no Styrofoam container. No big trucking. I know the lady who keeps the chickens, she knows the names of her chickens, they spend their days outside and happy eating what they please, drinking in sunshine, oh and they taste fantastic.

why would we or anyone import any kind of produce such as dairy, meat, fruit, or veges from another country in the first place? truly that is beyond what i would call unsanitary -think of the handlers, shipping, all to be handled again -yuck -it's bad enough to think about it skipping 2 and 3. boycott china entirly -take away their marketing power for good unless they straighten their act. buying their products -any of them -the toys they make and their food we buy poisons our families -as an individual why would you support anything that comes out of their country? we the buyers give and take power!!
