Made In China????

[Jayson]

I’ve been stocking up on vitamins for the pending SHTF. I just noticed my Nature Made vitamins are a product of China.

I read labels. If it says made in China than it stays on the shelves. I can find what I want or need elsewhere.

I’m chucking these ‘vitamins’ into the trash. Who knows what toxic substances the Chinese put in them.

A few years ago the Chinese were shipping paint to the US that contained toxic levels of lead in it.

Remember Chinese Drywall?

I was shocked to learn that most of our prescription drugs get started in China.

9 years ago we needed more plastic spatulas, I bought some at IKEA. My wife made me take them back because they were made in China (who knew a Scandinavian country company would be having them made in China). She was worried about the lead. The search was on. Any kitchen tool we could find was made in China.

Finally found some at a ridiculous price. By that time, we were switching everything to cast iron, so metal spatulas were fine. But then there is the worry of the cast that may have come outta China.

That's when you go to the yard sales and second hand stores.

That was an honest mistake. Someone ordered Red paint from China and they thought we were saying Lead paint.

Much has changed with the pharmaceutical oligarchs control on how people view alternative health world wide. Oftentimes having their businesses closed down or put in jail. Not everything that is made in China is always bad. Far from it. The alternative medicines of China are vast with thousands of years of experimentation. What the pharmaceutical oligarchs demand and what Chinese civilisation have practiced may differ greatly. Along with many other cultures.

A lot of my cast has been reclaimed and refurbished.

We always shop thrift stores. Most of our house has uses furnature we bought used because it was real wood, could be refinished to look new. Not the particleboard and plastic junk. Just like this cast iron dutch oven I bought for $2.00, cleaned and reseasoned and now it looks like new.

All of my cast iron came from the second-hand shop or the scrap yard, all the scrapyard stuff was unused and the rest was cleanable and will be used

All of my cast iron came from second hand sources.
