Tainted Toys For our Tots.

This is an issue that I have been looking at for a while, and it came full force to my attention when our CT Senator Chris Dodd became very agitated and vocal with not only the Chinese who taint our toys with lead but also deliver a sleuth of other unfit for consumption food products.

Dodd is correct that the WTO has rules that allow for consumer protection, but the WTO and China's most favored nation status are all, in my opinion a bunch of globalist malarkey with the true purposes being tariff evasion. The U.S. has been slow to respond, and parents are still largely uninformed about what toys they have, or are currently using, that contain lead.

What is all the fuss about lead, you may have far worse than lead in your mouth right now as dentists have put mercury laced dental amalgam in millions of Americans teeth, you brush with and drink toxic fluoride not to mention what else we do to our brains with Dr. prescribed medications and countless hours holding a microwave cell phone to our heads. But we are now to assume that lead is to be added to the mix?

While I know everything mentioned above is unhealthy for your brain, and instances of neurological disorders, educational deficiencies, and increases in cancer are occurring, never was I insightful enough to see children being poisoned by the toys they play with.

According to wikipedia symptoms of lead poisoning include neurological problems, such as reduced cognitive abilities, or nausea, abdominal pain, irritability, insomnia, metal taste in oral cavity, excess lethargy or hyperactivity, headache and, in extreme cases, seizure and coma. Thank heavens for our Senator for protecting Americans. Show Dodd your support for keeping these unsafe products out of our country.

Anyone who has children this year may want to buy toys that are made in Mexico.




Perhaps our childrens learning disorders, and Americas education problems are linked to these environmental factors that impair their ability to think. In history, never has such a problem become so pervase since the Romans put lead plumbing in their entire city, and in their wine.
