Uh, alc... the article is *referring* to all the food products that are still made *IN AMERICA*.

Those "American-made" products, IF they use ANY kinds of additives (including added vitamins) or preservatives, those additives are now probably manufactured in China.

A box of 'Total' cereal, for example, has vitamins and other additives. According to the article, virtually ALL of those additives come from 'elsewhere', not the US.

And the cheapest source by far seems to be China. Why? Because they apparently skip all the expensive, time-consuming steps required for product purity.

Does this criminal laxity bother the American companies who purchase the Chinese-made additives? Apparently not. After all, their eye is... where else?... on the bottom line.

Oh, Moogs, you're so funny.

Thanks for a great laugh!
