[SimplifyMe] Watch what you buy
Subject: Aug. 1 to Sept. 1 - watch what you buy!
block quote
AUGUST 1st to Sept.1st
Well over 50 yrs ago I knew a lady who would not buy Christmas gifts if
they were made in China. Her daughter will recognize her in the following.
Did y'all see Diane Sawyer's special report? They removed ALL items from a
typical, middle class family's home that were not made in the USA .
There was hardly anything left besides the kitchen sink. Literally. During
the special they showed truckloads of items - USA made - being brought in to
replace everything and talked about how to find these items and the
difference in price etc..
It was interesting that Diane said if every American spent just $64 more
than normal on USA made items this year, it would create something like
200,000 new jobs!
I WAS BUYING FOOD THE OTHER DAY AT WALMART and ON THE LABEL OF SOME
PRODUCTS IT SAID 'FROM CHINA '
FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF THE MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON
THE CAN 'FROM CHINA '
I WAS SHOCKED SO FOR A FEW MORE CENTS I BOUGHT THE LIBERTY GOLD BRAND OR
THE DOLE SINCE IT'S FROM CALIF.
Are we Americans as dumb as we appear --- or --- is it that we just do not
think. The Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior and even toxic
products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in American markets.
70% of Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the
Chinese should be suspended.
Why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges? DO IT
YOURSELF, AMERICA !!
Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says 'Made in
China ' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong ), simply choose another
product, or none at all. You will be amazed at how dependent you are on
Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without.
Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter? If you must have eggs, use real
ones and benefit some American farmer. Easter is just an example. The point
is do not wait for the government to act. Just go ahead and assume control
on your own.
THINK ABOUT THIS: If 200 million Americans each refuse to buy just $20 of
Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our
favor...fast!!
Most of the people who have been reading about this matter are planning on
implementing this on Aug. 1st and continue it until Sept. 1st. That is only
one month of trading losses, but it will hit the Chinese for 1/12th of the
total, or 8%, of their American exports. Then they might have to ask themselves
if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness were worth it.
Remember, August 1st to Sept. 1st !!!!!! START NOW.
Send this to everybody you know. Let's show them that we are Americans and
NOBODY can take us for granted.
If we can't live without cheap Chinese goods for one month out of our
lives, WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET!
Pass it on, America ...

[SimplifyMe] The Dark Truth About Milk
The dark truth behind milk
By Edward Martin on 07/31/2011It might seem like there's nothing more natural than a kid with a glass of milk -- but what's in that glass could be anything but natural.
Painkillers, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories -- you name it, it could be in there... because while it's illegal to sell milk tainted with those meds, it isn't even tested for most of them.
European researchers recently did what food officials around the world won't: They tested some milk, and found that you could be getting up to 20 drugs and hormones with every sip.
There's something to think about next time you see one of those "milk mustache" ads.
Using a sensitive new test, researchers from the University of Jaen in Spain found all kinds of drugs and hormones in milk from cows, goats, and even the human breast -- but they say the highest levels of pharmaceutical backwash turned up in the 20 samples of cow's milk they tested.
They found anti-inflammatory painkillers such as niflumic acid, mefenamic acid, and ketoprofen along with 17-beta-estradiol, which is a form of the sex hormone oestrogen.
The researchers also found steroids, anti-fungal drugs, and even an anti-malarial med.
And we're supposed to believe this does a body good?
The only caveat here is that the study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry was done in Europe, and that the milk samples tested came from cows in Spain and Morocco.
But don't make the mistake of thinking U.S. cows are any better -- because they're not.
Our milk is only tested for a handful of the dozens of drugs we know have been given to dairy cows. We know this, because these cows eventually end up in slaughterhouses where they are tested -- and all the things that aren't supposed to be in the milk turn up in their meat.
When the FDA tried to pull some milk samples for extra tests earlier this year, the dairy industry and friendly agricultural officials in 10 states revolted, saying it would lead to a disruption in the milk supply.
But if that garbage is in the supply, it should be disrupted -- permanently.
There's no easy answer here -- although I will say that plenty of health experts agree that milk isn't nearly as necessary as the Milk Mustache marketing team would have you believe.
You can live a full and healthy life without this stuff -- but if you can't give up the moo juice, at least go organic.
It may cost a lot more than regular milk... but you're paying for what's NOT inside.

Ladle the batter into a round pan preheated with butter, swirling the pan in a circular motion as soon as the batter hits it to form a thin shell. Flip when cooked on one side. Top half of the shell with whipped cream, sliced bananas, broken nut brittle and caramel sauce, then fold the other half over to cover. Dust with powdered sugar, then SERVE...
