Chinese pringles

So now I can't stop thinking about this crap.

I notice a 2 for 1 on Pringles. I like salty and crunchy snacks as much as the next guy and so I make an impulse buy. Hey its a great deal right? But I start thinking about that deal and about how good it is. Where did these dried products come from? They could have come from anywhere in the world. They probably came from China. How else can they make a profit off of selling something half price?

More and more I'm appreciating the idea that we shouldn't eat something unless it rots.

At the dinner table

At the dinner table
I've resulted in the damage of careful consideration
tampering with the right to life
and the log jam of tremendous trials
don't shirk your responsibilities
they don't have to forget
They don't have to remember
Harrowing and shallow
Deadwood and tryptophan
Creep up to the table
Creep down to the table

When and do the work

When and do the work
Its pretend toy soldiers
color inside the lines
A sign of the method

Don't rise to the occasion

Send in the clams
Half-baked and brittle
while children play with children

I've left the building

Alone in the dark
travel to the heart of your heart
It will be there
I will be there
and then
We'll cross that bridge

China wants to kill you

I had this funny realization the other day. I was getting ready to brush my teeth and stopped for a second as I thought about the tainted milk in China. I realized that I couldn't take for granted any more (if I ever really could) that there was some kind of oversight or protection of myself or any other consumer of goods in this country. Is the world really as different as it seems?

Rachel told me that there were some "white rabbit" candies they import from China that were found to have the melanine in it. WTF?
