First food, now toys
So not only did China manufacture each of the 24 kinds of toys recalled for safety reasons in the US so far this year, but the recent pet food scare was over Chinese made pet food and there is more and more in the news about the dangers of food imported from China. Of course since China manufactures about 80% of all the world’s toys it’s hardly surprising…
What’s a mum to do? This is one more persuasive argument for shopping locally – not just for toys but for food too.
I’m toying with the idea of trying the 100-Mile Diet for our family for a few weeks this summer, but first I need to convince my husband and also source some local bread and pasta as I don’t see us surviving on a 100-Mile Diet until they make 100-Mile Annie’s Mac ‘n Cheese.
If any of you out there have tried eating locally with tots I’d love your feedback and ideas on how to make it work.
