These chemicals don't break down very well, and apparently they are still present in 85% of American breast milk.

But no sauces from jars, ready meals, microwave meals, ready made chips or potatoes, pastry, cakes etc. We try to awlays make our own, then we know where it;s come from, and it has some worth. Food is so cheap nowadays and you can throw so much away, where's the worth gone? shouldn't it be more valuable?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041909395799559244.post-84392083701893629642008-11-12T10:16:00.000+11:002008-11-12T10:16:00.000+11:00I find the labeling rather suckful as well.I also ...I find the labeling rather suckful as well.I also hate how they do their nutrition labels on many items.Why can't they say serving size 2 oreo's instead of (insert #) grams.How in the hell am I supposed to know how much an oreo weighs?...CheekyOnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805598499546246818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041909395799559244.post-12243559872989743242008-11-12T04:27:00.000+11:002008-11-12T04:27:00.000+11:00For me, I don't want to think too much about what ...For me, I don't want to think too much about what I consume. I know there are harmful chemicals in what I eat and in what I expose myself to.

My son got a chocolate coin for Halloween, he was heartbroken when I wouldn't let him keep it because of the Canada recall. It's a sad state of affairs when even kids products aren't safe. I was confused about the KJ as well on labels. My brother finally explained to me that KJ = kilojoules, and that one calorie is equal to around four KJ. Damn it, I already have to convert my driving speed and the daily weather report, now I have to convert my calories as well?

Then it just stopped, probably when we stopped making anything in America. I'm pleased that Australia still seems to have a "Made In Australia" movement. But your post brings up a big issue - what does it actually mean.
