Another China Food Scandal

When will it stop - China's contaminated food scandal widens International Herald Tribune There was even stories of parents being worried about Halloween Candy since some of it may have been made in China. And with the long list of food scandals, it is surprising another done dealing with Melamine comes up. Last one was with milk, so now any type of food animal or product of an animal may be at risk due to contaminated animal feed. The start of the latest scandal was eggs, and since eggs are used in so many types of processed foods the problem grows. And China exports a huge amount of food!

This type of scandal is a tremendous threat to the made in China Brand.

California Proposition 8 and Chinese Voters

Proposition 8 I know Chinese who are on both sides of the issue, both good friends of mine. One is very pro, and the other very against and sent me a long E-Mail on why to vote against it. There is even a TV adv. in Chinese for Proposition 8. I could not find one against it in Chinese, only a No on Prop 8 Flyer (Chinese).

What this shows is the diversity of the Chinese Community in the US

And for those into politics and the English language - interesting article - Jerry Brown's wording may trip up Prop. 8. Jerry Brown is one of the most interesting California politicians, I heard him speak when I was living in the Bay Area. The secretary of Commerce speaking, William Daley, and Jerry Brown came in and stole the show. It was lunch speaker series at my work. I still have a cup from his time as Governor, Brown is Green - from my Aunt to my Father, and it's mine by eminent domain ;-)
