Dawgs with babies

[Msubulldogfan1]

A lot of baby food and formula made by the major manufacturers (Gerber, Enfamil, Plum, etc) have been found to contain harmful chemicals such as lead and arsenic.

Products my 11 month old has eaten and been fed since the day he was born.

Just an FYI, if any parents wanna look this up and avoid the higher contaminated products.

**** makes me madder than hell, names we trust to feed our 17ing children.

And folks wonder why cancer rates have exploded over time.

It’s an American problem, and not to get political, but if the citizens wouldn’t be fooled into the racism and other false narratives, and actually focus on real problems in this country like the non existent middle class and a corrupt government ran by these businesses... we might actually be a little better off.

Nobody gets held accountable.

If this worries you

don't look up whats in your processed meat.

 

[ShrubDog]

Yep and its not just baby food.

Keep in mind this study isn't peer reviewed and cites some questionable sources.

Not that I'd be surprised if it were true. I'm just wary of anything like this due to pop culture's witch hunt of the agriculture industry.

Those are important problems. And there's a ton more.

Education in this country is horrible. Healthcare needs help badly. But do you not believe things like racism and excessive use of force by law enforcement exist as well?

Maybe that's a problem? Or maybe they just tested for insignificant amounts of materials and are now reporting to freak people out? I honestly have no clue which it is. The fact that the article includes the statement "No amount of lead is safe" makes me lean towards the latter but that's still just barely a guess. Well, that and I see lots of babies and young kids that have eaten Gerber and Enfamil and don't seem to show any signs of arsenic poisoning or developmental issues from lead.

I’m aware of this. I guess when it’s your child, it puts things into a different perspective.

Would you recognize the issues if you saw them? Do yourself a favor and look up cancer rates, ADHD, ADD, etc in children in America as compared to the rest of the world.

The article is meant to inform the public and hold these companies accountable. And if it wasn’t for 3rd party independent research companies like this, we would never know what we ingest or buy.

Sure they exist, just not nearly to the one-sided extent those behind the narrative are leading you to believe.

I shouldn’t have said that because I didn’t want this thread to go that way.

Might as well lock it up now, but I just want people who have young children to be aware.

[The Usual Suspect]

Obviously I do not want my kids to eat things that are going to hurt them, me either. But, unless everyone starts being independent and growing their own food, I don't think the food industry could feed everyone if everything was done purely "organic". Secondly before we all get on a soapbox about feeding everyone ethically, I think we need to stop burning up about 30% of our corn supply to make ethanol.

 

[notoriousD_O_G]

I was making all the baby food for mine but started getting to busy. Looks like I will have to start back. Plus it saves a lot of money.

The man is upset that his baby may have consumed toxic food. Come on man.

but Trump!
But Hillary!
But rUsSiANs!


I agree. We do have a problem with social justice warrior issues, but turning a blind eye to the rest of it is criminal.

Does racism exist? Yes.
It always has and always will.

Do some police officers use excessive force? Yes.
Is it an epidemic that should draw major attention? No. There is zero proof of that. Not one single iota.

I was a baby in the 60s. We sprinkled lead and arsenic on our dirt before we ate it
