Why is there so much lead in American food?
What contaminated applesauce pouches reveal about how lead exposure actually happens.
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
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.
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.
