When it is your child, and your child has been so sick, I would be intersted in a lawsuit as well. I hope your friend's child recovers quickly. I agree.

Her 17 month got Salmonella. He's been in and out of the ER on several occassions and sick for the last 7 weeks. SEVEN weeks is pretty long to have your toddler sick (it's not always horrible every day). If he was better within 4 days they probably would have let it past but with this going on this long and getting a bunch of "I don't knows" from doctors, I can really understand why they went this route. He's now showing symptoms of the 2nd type of Salmonella that VB is now rumored to be testing positive for which can lead to typhoid fever. <br/><br/>They are vegetarians, I think her son may be vegan, they always try to local and/or organic, this was one of their few "indulgences" (I prefer Ben & Jerry's!) and I just feel awful for them.

It is up to us to protect ourselves. Buying local or home grown is the best way to go. However, even that may not keep you from getting salmonella poisoning. I have found it impossible to find where a product was grown on frozen fruits and veggies at the supermarket. I also think that the companies here in America importing the products should be held liable. Maybe not by suing them. How much more is it going to take for for something to change? It is frustrating to walk into a store when you need something other than food and see that it is made in China. All I can think of is who knows what this is made of. The kitchen items that I purchased back in the mid 90's are not from China. So I am not sure when all of this got so out of hand. I could go on and on all day about this.<br/>I think you got me on a roll there LOL. I think that I have lost faith that anything will be done to stop this. It is up to us to protect ourselves.
