A valid question to examine

I think it's a valid question worth checking into. It wouldn't surprise me to find it to be true let me put it that way. I hope it isn't and that it's just bad timing and luck on our parts but one does have to wonder especially when it comes to the peanut butter. The US is the main country that uses peanut butter. If it's tainted it effects a lot of us. The other things are used around the world about the same but peanut butter seems to be a mainstay here in the USA. If one wanted to cause trouble for a country tainting a product that most of the country uses would make sense especially if other countries aren't big users of it. It does make me wonder if it could be true but I don't know if we'll ever know for sure. Either way I think we should all be glad things are worse and hope that it's over for now.

I think that, perhaps happily, human error is going to account for far more deaths and fuss than terrorism ever could. It doesn't take much for something to get missed, especially in countries without perhaps the stringent checks that one would hope are the norm in the developed world. I think that the US's (or much of it anyway) obsession with price above all else is probably a more dangerous driving force to poor quality and safety for food. Buying organic or locally produced food reduces the chances of it being tainted by chemicals or whatnot.

First off, I wish people speaking about their own country specifically would name it. e.g. Here in the US we..... otherwise I have to check your profile to see what you are talking about. I'm on dial-up so that takes a while. We need to remember that we are setting up discussions globally, not just to our fellow countrymen. And to answer your question...I hardly think so. Food is imported to other countries as well, not just the US.
