Re: OT tainted chocolate

My mama did, or tried to anyway.
We have been growing, or trying to, more of our own food at my house.
I always said that hell would freeze over before I got chickens or a
cow, especially now that the government wants to chip every darn
animal that you don't buy at petsmart or whatever the current
puppymill franchise is called. Must be the Star of the Morning is
shopping for ice skates because I am actually seriously considering
moving towards that if we find a good place when we move. I
absolutely _hate_ tending poultry. But between the abyssmal quality
of boughten food, and the way prices are going raising our own is
looking more and more attractive.
We have actually taken to making cheese because it is so much more
less expensive. I've always baked bread, but now I am back to baking
most of it.

I had no idea that these products were made in China! Isn't Hershey
made in Hershey, PA? Crud - I'm not much of a chocolate person, but
this news is kind of disheartening. I swear, folks are going to get so
fed up with all this stuff, that soon, we'll be back to canning our
own products, baking our own breads, cakes and cookies, and keeping
cows and chickens in the backyard for milk and eggs. Maybe not such a
bad idea!

Oh. Good grief. Our news folks are telling us this morning about Cadbury,
Hershey, Oreos, Mars, M & Ms, and Snickers possibly being tainted by
melamine in Chinese factories. Grrr. Polly
