Yet another Government failing to do its job

Today, a friend - who is well aware of my rage that I release on my blog over child-safety recalls and our government who continues to make stupid decisions that not only affect our lives, but those of our young children, whom we will need in the future - sent me an email about the Chinese formula recall.

Thankfully the recall should not affect us here, but it is still very sad because thousands of babies were sickened and even worse, three died.

But then, in another email, more haunting news about BPA. After a finding that said BPA was harmless...now another group is saying the chemical is in fact harmful and is causing diabetes and heart problems in humans.

When will someone stand-up to the special-interests groups and start protecting the people who elect them?

Thanks K! And keep them coming...I love being the Recall WatchDog!

Bottle Ban

A news update on BPA or Bisphenol A, the FDA has recently stated that the levels found in humans is below the toxic levels as some had thought.

I am still a little skeptical, it is really hard to put faith into a government who bases their opinions on special interests groups needs and not the consumer needs.

We saw this happen with the lead levels in the toys...problems with our imported foods...and even with vaccinations that are given to our children.

So, if you haven't exchanged those bottles and would still like to, you probably should soon before they cancel that idea. But even if you don't do that in time, you will still be able to purchase the BPA-free bottles.

And just a side note, our neighbors in Canada are still banning BPA and lawmakers in California are still considering the ban as well...makes ya think...doesn't it?
