I've been wondering what affect all these protest with China will have on the US and our already tainted food supply.
Remember the old saying, "Don't bite the hand that feeds you"
Well I' getting the feeling the backlash from all the Protest will not help our food supply.
So I thought that I'd check and find out what percentage of our food comes from China.
So here are some links you can read more for yourself.

Best to plan now, plant a garden, get facts on local grown food, co-op's, farmers markets in your area.

Check with the stores where you shop if the items you are buying come from China?, Check on line as much as you can and make a list of products to avoid. I'm doing this right now.

Here's a few articles I came across.

excerpts:
"The Chinese food supply chain is responsible “for very serious domestic Chinese food poisoning outbreaks,” concluded the report by investigators David Nelson, Kevin Barstow and Richard Wilfong. Weaknesses in the Chinese system requires “a much more vigorous program of inspection and laboratory testing in China and at U.S. ports of entry than FDA has been able or willing to pursue to date,” Nelson said.
Three factors lead to that conclusion, he testified: “the lack of meaningful internal regulation of farming and food processing in China; the advanced development of the document counterfeiting industry; and the willingness of some entrepreneurs in both China and the United States” to engage in smuggling foodstuffs."
“The Chinese position is that they have a closed system that assures the safety of foods which bear the CIQ certificates and seal,” Nelson said. “To date, FDA has refused to acknowledge the Chinese certificates for safety or export purposes,” he said. “If the Chinese system works as described, it would be a very safe system.” But while investigators expressed no doubt about the sincerity of AQSIQ’s efforts, they said local officials aren’t complying with the system in many instances. Nelson said his team found no one who believed that every lot was sampled, and said that it is widely believed that export certificates are subject to counterfeiting.

An estimated 12,700 of the 450,000 food processors in China have export certification, according to witnesses. “At a minimum, it would appear we could cut the safety risk significantly were FDA to limit food imports from China to those firms that have obtained the appropriate certificate from the Chinese government,” Nelson said. While the certificates are no guarantee of safe imports, their absence “most certainly means that the Chinese quality control has been evaded.”
The investigators also concluded that because of tighter screening and inspection, government officials in Hong Kong and Japan assure greater safety of food imported from mainland China for consumption by their citizens than does the FDA for Americans. But the Hong Kong system requires “massive sampling” that wouldn’t be practical in the United States, Nelson said. The Japanese system allows imports from only a very small number of Chinese producers for the Japanese market, inspects those producers and samples and tests about 15 percent of the food imported from China, far more than the U.S. does. Sampling 15 percent of foods imported into the United States would require a huge increase in FDA lab capacity, Nelson said. Sharply limiting the number of Chinese producers allowed to export to the U.S. also would mean higher prices in the U.S., he said.

Subcommittee members expressed considerable interest in requiring the FDA to review Chinese certificates as a first step in improving import safety. Texas Republican Michael C. Burgess also expressed certainty that American consumers would be willing to pay higher prices for food imported from a more limited, regulated number of overseas suppliers."
