DeeAnn, they just replace the offensive substance with something else that hasn’t been tested either.

Disagree with Brooke here. Not buying does work. Even Walmart knows what’s going on, that there is pressure, and they’re feeling it.

Jacquelyn, I agree that some people may focus on just one area of concern leaving other areas open for compromise. One thing that often occurs with activism is burn out. When you spread yourself too thin dealing with numerous issues (and there are always an insurmountable issues to tackle, yes?) you tend to either burn out or drop the ball in some area. I would never discourage anyone from focusing on one issue if it’s important to them. One step at a time . . . and when you’ve got that one issue handled OH the JOY! and then on to the next . . .

I’m sure manufacturers love it when consumers focus on one thing, like bpa. It means we are not paying attention to all the other destructive things they are doing. Then they get to enjoy the golden glow of being pro-active about phasing out the scary chemical of the moment, while continuing to use the same practices that allowed something like bpa to become commonplace.

Not buying a product won’t make it or future products safe… We need to do something to fix our policies! Beth is totally right! We should NOT have to do the leg work of the USDA(FSIS) or FDA!

Here’s my solution: Last week I decided to buy a heavy duty pressure canner so I can safely preserve low acid and high protein foods like cooked black beans and split pea soup without needing to freeze them. After hurricane Irene blew through last year leaving us without power for 4 days, and almost destroyed 2 freezers full of food, I decided to take the leap. The model I chose http://tinyurl.com/cst84mq is manufactured in the US from cast aluminum with Bakelite handles. It shipped through Amazon in its original box so packaging was minimal. The only plastic was 2 strips of packing tape and one smallish block of styrofoam, all of which I’ll save in case it ever has to be shipped back for repairs. All parts of the pressure canner are replaceable and the company has been in business for years. This should last a lifetime if I take care of it. I’ve done regular canning before, so this shouldn’t be too much of a leap.

be careful of the additives in chocolate, unless it is expensive stuff……
