Barbara McPherson, I like this story. It's good stuff.
This hole thing will take a long tiime to clear up and yet I fear once resolved we won't have learned much and will still go for cheep rather then good food.
The worth of are those that already have trouble making end meet and their children will be the adults of tomorrow with major damaged bodies due to our miss management and greed.

Barbara McPherson, I like this story. It's good stuff. And the greed isn't based in China but here in the west as many western companies have been happy to outsource to China and not really take their responsibilities in terms of checking health and safety measures and working conditions. Cadbury are a case in mind. Some are now saying boycot all Cadbury products.
