Red China And Pet Food

Although I haven't paid a lot of attention to the recent news about pets dying from poisoned pet food, this point I do know and want to bring up. I found out from ABC Radio News yesterday that the food was made in Red China and tainted with rat poison. For those of you who do not know the story, there has been a large recall of pet food because the food was sickening and killing a number of pets. It now seems apparent that the rat poison that tainted the food was from Red Chinese fields.

The point that came to my attention is this-if this happens to pet food, what other items made in Red China could be tainted with damaging materials and chemicals. Will we allow our food manufacturers (who make food for people) move production over there as well, for the sake of satisfying our appetite for cheaper and cheaper goods, at the risk of our very lives? Our very livelihoods have already been damaged, at least for tens of thousands of Americans, because our companies have decided that it is just too expensive to make products in their own homeland.

What happens if the Campbell Soup Company decides to start making soups in China. Will it be alright to have the threat of rat poison entering it and killing dozens of Americans. We already face a hostile Red China who would try to kill us if we defended Taiwan. What, will we be willing then to spend less on goods that could be tainted to purposely kill off our own people. Just as bad, will we be willing to have sanctions on goods that we should be making ourselves!

We need to start buying only American-made goods again. If you think things you need are not made right here in the good, old U.S.A., you have to look again. Clothes and shoes are still made here, as is most packaged foods and various other needs. Maybe televisions are not made here anymore, but you think we could just live without them, at least until we get a great American with initiative to start making them here again. It might be best to stay away from the violence, cursing, pornography and propaganda about Anna Nicole Smith and the Duke rape case for a while anyway.

LET'S BUY AMERICAN AGAIN!
