For those who are only reading the headline, this is mostly about the disastrous lead exposures happening in other (mostly lower-income) countries, and about how the lack of regulations/quality controls in those countries contributed to a situation where two imported cinnamon products in the US contained lead and were recalled.
"So much lead in American food" consists of 2 recalled products, whereas the kids in Ecuador eating this same stuff daily don't warrant a headline, I suppose
Yeah, I honestly was debating posting it in the world community because of that, but the title says American lol
If you add the quotes that relate to the other countries in the post it should be fine
I usually post articles in one community at a time anyway. I try to post a different articles to a few different communities each day just to keep things active and varied.
It’s almost impossible to read the fucking article on account of all the full page and pop in ads. I gave up.
It's a great sweetener.
And it adds massive weight to the product so the manufacturer and/or middle man makes a lot more money.
Anyone who does this is scum and deserves to spend the rest of their lives in jail.
Jesus. I thought you were kidding at first. What the actual fuck?
"Let's add poison so we can make it weigh a tiny bit more" is something I didn't have on my corporate greed bingo card.
They're just borrowing by example from drug cutters!
It's good for keeping people stupid and docile. And it works. I mean, about half of them votes Republican, so the dumbing down works.
Let's not get wrapped up in wild conspiracy theories like Republicans are so prone to do. No one is intentionally doing this. It's poor regulation, oversight, and controls. Simple as that.
Docile? I thought lead exposure lead to aggression.
