Have you ever noticed where your food comes from? I've been hearing a lot about the pet food that came from China tainted with poison that kills dogs and cats. Last night I heard on the radio that there's toothpaste out there that's tainted with anti-freeze, coincidentally also made in China. Our US government says it's okay, that there's not much in it. Isn't ANY antifreeze too much? And there's also toys coming over made with lead paint!! Canned fruit comes from Malaysia and Indonesia, the bananas I bought today are from Columbia, grapes from Mexico and canned beans from Canada. I don't have any problem with these countries but the US grows and produces stuff still, doesn't it? And until there's some regulation as to the quality of goods imported, I'm boycotting as much food and products as I can that come from outside the US. What about you - have you noticed where your food and goods come from? Does it bother you as much as it bothers me?

Please help: Looking for Chinese and Indian herbs (& herbalist) in Indonesia? Hi, I will be traveling for three months through SE Asia, including Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia starting in mid-September. I consume many herbal dietary supplements for my health, but because of possilbe complications getting them through customs (the herbs come in bulk with no original packaging per se), it looks like I might have to find these Chinese and Indian (Ayurvedic) herbs in each respective destination. So, I'm asking about Indonesia here---any city, but especially in bigger ones like Jakarta or somwhere in Bali. Do you know of any herbalists or herbal shops which have Chinese and Indian herbs, especially encapsulated herbs? Health-food stores? (I'm looking for largest shops, as they are more likely to have the specific herbs I need.) Any names or search tips on the internet would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Food Crisis Starts Eclipsing Climate Change Worries, Gore has no answers.? Food Crisis Starts Eclipsing Climate Change Worries Gore Ducks, as a Backlash Builds Against Biofuels With prices for rice, wheat, and corn soaring, food-related unrest has broken out in places such as Haiti, Indonesia, and Afghanistan. Several countries have blocked the export of grain. There is even talk that governments could fall if they cannot bring food costs down. One factor being blamed for the price hikes is the use of government subsidies to promote the use of corn for ethanol production. An estimated 30% of America’s corn crop now goes to fuel, not food. Mr. Senauer said climate change advocates, such as Vice President Gore, need to distance themselves from ethanol to avoid tarnishing the effort against global warming. “Crop-based biofuels are not part of the solution. Mr. Gore was not available for an interview yesterday on the food crisis, according to his spokeswoman. A spokesman for Mr. Gore’s public campaign to address climate change, declined comment.

Did I breathe in toxic mold while staying in Indonesia? Seen Specialists but have been sick for 17months..? Hi, desperate for ANY info: I went to Indonesia on a research project as a fit healthy 29year July 2005, since then for the last 17months i've been very sick, respiratory problems,v extreme weightloss,cough etc. (The symptoms started after both my partner and I had eaten contaminated food we were both very ill and weak. The room we stayed in for 2 months absolutely stank of mold from constant air conditioner.) Because of breathing problems & had to fly back and went to two Respiratory Specialists, who said it 's probably a viral infection that will just go away...as the bloodtests didn't show much; showed i had an infection, & Glandular Fever in past..? X-rays showed "hyper inflated lung fields" but test for asthma showed i didn't have it (eventhough i was diagnosed as a teenager). A year later, I still coughed so much mucus, i have constant back drip,get tired and full of mucus just walking a few blocks, my nose and throat is permanently blocked. Could it be mold related?

Are food riots in Haiti the start of a disturbing trend? Analysts have predicted that rising food costs would cause civil unrest, starting in the very least developed countries and progressively moving along to more developed countries. As most know Haiti is one of the least developed nations in the world.... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080409/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/haiti_food_protests Food riots have also been reported this year in Mexico, India, Morocco, Egypt, China, Pakistan, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Uzbekistan, Indonesia, Yemen, Guinea, Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Mauritania and Senegal. Is this a disturbing trend? What the heck does global warming theory have to do with food prices? My god man, I know you aren't that bright but you are taking the cake here. None of the countries mention staple food crop is corn, or are in area where corns is a viable food crop. The staples of all the countries listed are either Rice, Wheat, or localized staple grains.

Assessing the global food crisis in one place after another? A silent tsunami which knows no borders is sweeping the world". That is how the head of the UN World Food Programme (WFP) summed up the global food shortages. It is certainly a storm that has hit with little warning and has plunged an extra 100 million people into poverty. The crisis has triggered riots in Haiti, Cameroon, Indonesia and Egypt and is deemed a dangerous threat to stability. It is not so much famine that is the worry, it is widespread misery and malnutrition. The WFP's biggest concern is for the people living on 50 cents a day who have nothing to fall back on. “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another [and in one place after another pestilences (Luke 21:11)]. All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress. This from te BBC news this morning, What are your thoughts?
