The chicken they are preparing for food can be sold here and you wouldn't know the difference. New laws don't even have to tell you its processed in China.

Look at the people in this photo. They are not even wearing gloves or protective masks. And I'll make a bet the chicken in that photo is not even washed before packaging.

Hello Ford, I have been gone for about 10 full days having spent wonderful one on one time with my husband...............PRICELESS!

I read from yesterday, when this thread was started and apparently missed it since I've posted only once on the 11th around 7pm something. I have mentioned many times of my travels throughout the world, living in many- for short periods of time, which the Far East would be one. (Business/exporting/husband/ muscial big name). While I was there I was fortunate enough to have the best people (as guides) who escorted me around, especially through the hospitals and did meet with some of the top professors in medicine which would include my interest, since that would be my intense LIKE. I chose not to look at the highlightes, but know, without viewing, pretty much what `that` could have been. I had mentioned over the months while on here close to 3.5 years what I saw up close, never to detail exactly how upsetting the unexpected came to me, when I least had prepared for anything. I have no aspirations in traveling there again. I can say that I saw the best of "C" and its cousins up front. I saw proverty! We have never seen this type of Proverty as one from this country would come to believe. I will not buy ANYTHING that has been made in "C", especially the cosmetics/ skincare...( you get the idea)... from there. if anyone has literally been there, then there is no explaination needed!!!!

We were always in Western'ized' Hotels and skirted around anything that was not unusual. I found out about their culture by side trips that I had taken when my husband was in those long board meetings. I have those memories, also, fused forever in my mind.

I can say this: when back in the U.S. upon landing at one airport, I hugged the nearest cement structure. Take care.

Hi Naes. What an experience! I don't think I would have chosen that location, but you certainly received an education!

No matter how much I disagree with my country, especially regarding the medical care community and the politics, I still wouldn't live anywhere else!

The working conditions in China are deplorable. I remember a documentary about the sweatshops making clothes for Walmart & it was young people who had to work day & night & live in horrible rooms that were part of the factory........& we support that with our purchases (not only from Walmart.......from all the companies buying from these sweat shops).

Jessa, do you have a Apple phone or iPad? Google foxconn suisides.

I didn't watch the link, but having lived in a third world country in south east Asia for 5 yrs., sure made me glad to get back home to the good old USA again .

What I got out of this was no life is important to those controlling the world be it working man or animal it is nothing but tool to use to do labor, or make money.

If you think this is only 3rd world you have your head in the sand we are eating that food of horror and stress... The hands that touch that food impart energy of a discontent life...

The rest of the world is too busy with multi jobs and pop culture to distract them at what is happing in to us as a people, and others stop our words from being voiced because they too are afraid to stand up for what it right.... or they might even be part of the shut down....

if one is not apart of the CORE of this they will also soon be useless and are fooling themselves if they think they are protected from this mind set that has no conscience.

Love One Another

Thank you Ford 1224 I copied the link no telling how long this thread will last....

Yes this was disturbing to watch but it's reality. If you want to know more about the foods we eat and where they come from and how big government is involved with it, check out the documentary Food Inc. it was on PBS. It's eye opening for sure.

I have watched Food Inc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Oq24hITFTYand another one King Corn... trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xThSnJb8miQ

Which if you have Amazon Prime see it for free or NOT a small fee $3

There are days I tried to convince myself to eat those foods it is ok and as soon as I do and get a build up in my body I the same issues are greatly intense I don't know how others do it, but is always disagreeable with me...

I am not a "stick my head in the sand" type of person. I rarely watch things like this, but this one sneaked up on me. I do not eat meat, not even chicken and haven't for years. These workers have absolutely no regard for any animal, and I suppose even if they did, they would have to do their jobs anyway.

I remember being very young when my great aunt was cooking lobster and when she put the wriggling lobster into the pot of boiling hot water, I ran out of the kitchen screaming. I was assured by all the adults that "lobsters don't feel pain."
