This China tainted toothpaste scare goes to show how much of a global market economy we really live in. I promised you more articles to check out and here they are:

And man oh man did everyone have lots to say about the Doritos story!! Here are just some of the snippets!

Barb writes:
IT’S ON THE LABEL! I’m sure even the most strict vegetarians can read, and don’t require ‘special treatment’ in the form of a huge label with a big red cow flag on it.

Donna writes:
Am I surprised? No. This is only one more example of our food supply being ineptly managed by corporations...many of which I'm sure are joined at the hip. I have been a vegetarian for 40+ years. Can you imagine how I would feel if I were at a social gathering and ate chips which I, up-until-now, could assume did not contain animal parts of any kind? I believe we are all victims on many levels.

Shannon writes:
If the man doesn't eat beef then I would assume that he spit out the first chip he ate so there shouldn't be any problem with his health.

Tami writes:
I think the label is enough for anyone. I still like doritos and always will.

Nancy writes:
I think anytime you are trying a “mystery” food, the first thing to do would be to check the ingredients. Especially if you are on a restricted diet. I also think that Frito-Lay should have made it clear, with a warning label or something.

John writes:
Beef in chips? And we wonder why we are all so fat.

Heidi writes:
It's just sad that Doritos would test out a special flavor with a chip that has beef in it. I would assume the chip section at my grocery store would be vegetarian, too.

Bobby writes:
He chose the item off the shelf! Diabetics, people with allergies, those with specific religions, MANY people have to be careful when they shop, and ignorance isn’t an excuse.

And that, folks, is just a sampling!!
