Well maybe people will get back to the basics about some things. Make your own soup. Make toys for your kids. Pull out the scroll saw and make your kids a wooden toy. Don't buy one from China!
Grow your own veggies instead of buying the ones the mexicans shat on.

Sam's Club beef recalled after illnesses
MINNEAPOLIS - The Sam’s Club warehouse chain has pulled a brand of ground beef patties from its shelves nationwide after four children who ate the food, produced by Cargill Inc., developed E. coli illness.
Cargill asked customers to return any remaining patties purchased after Aug. 26 to the store or destroy them.
The children became ill between Sept. 10 and Sept. 20 after eating ground beef patties that were bought frozen under the name American Chef’s Selection Angus Beef Patties from three Sam’s Club stores in the Twin Cities area.
Sam’s Club voluntarily removed the product from its stores nationwide after the illnesses were reported, the company said.
“We can’t be certain that meat from other stores is not involved, since the brand ... was likely sold at other Sam’s Club locations,” said Heidi Kassenborg, acting director of the dairy and food inspection division of the Minnesota Department of Agriculture.
Cargill, based in Wayzata, Minn., is one of the nation’s largest privately held companies and makes food ingredients, moves commodities around the world and runs financial commodities trading businesses.
The patties were produced by Cargill and had an expiration date of Feb. 12, 2008, Sam’s Club said in a statement. They were coded UPC 0002874907056 Item .700141.
Searching for the source
Cargill spokesman Mark Klein said the company has been cooperating with the state Department of Health and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to determine the scope of the issue.
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is working with the federal Agriculture Department to determine the source of the contamination.
Cargill learned of the issue Friday, when a compliance officer from the federal Agriculture Department visited the company’s ground beef facility in Butler, Wis., Klein said. Officials had traced the patties to that plant.
Two of the children were hospitalized; one remains in the hospital and the other has been discharged, the Health Department said.
Symptoms of E. coli illness include stomach cramps and diarrhea. People typically are ill for two to five days but can develop complications including kidney failure. People who have developed such symptoms should contact their doctor, the Health Department said.
Sam’s Club warehouse is owned by Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world’s largest retailer, based in Bentonville, Ark.
The Cargill recall comes on the heels of Elizabeth, N.J.-based Topps Meat Co.’s recall of 21.7 million pounds of ground beef amid E. coli concerns. The recall — the second-largest beef recall in U.S. history — caused Topps on Friday to announce that it’s going out of business.
The source of the E. coli contamination at Topps is still being investigated, but USDA spokeswoman Sharon Randle said Saturday that the Cargill and Topps cases are not related.

Drug makers pull children's cold medicine off the market
Last Update: 10/11 2:23 pm

Drug makers on Thursday voluntarily pulled children's cold medicines off the market less than two weeks after the government warned of potential health risks to infants.
Over-the-counter medications aimed at children under the age of two are being removed from store shelves because of rare instances of parents accidentally overdosing young children, a trade group that represents over-the-counter drug makers said. The group said parents should not use any medicines they have at home.
The Consumer Healthcare Products Association said last month it agreed with government officials that use of the drugs should be restricted, but had previously stopped short of pulling the products from the market.
Cold medicines being withdrawn include: Johnson & Johnson Pediacare Infant Drops and Tylenol Concentrated Infants Drops, Wyeth's Dimetapp Decongestant Infant Drops, Novartis' Triaminic Infant & Toddler Thin Strips and Prestige Brands Holdings' Little Colds Decongestant Plus Cough.
CVS Caremark Corp. said Thursday morning it would remove the affected products as well as CVS-brand equivalents from store shelves. The pharmacy chain said customers can return the products for a full refund.
Late last month the Food and Drug Administration tentatively recommended adding the words "do not use in children under two years" to products' labeling. Current labeling directs parents to consult a doctor before administering the drugs to infants and toddlers.
The medicines come in tiny, droplet-size doses, but parents occassionally do not consult or follow directions from physicians, which can lead to accidental overdose.
FDA will formally consider revising labeling at a meeting scheduled for Oct. 18-19.
After reviewing reports of side effects over the last four decades, FDA found 54 child fatalities from over-the-counter decongestant medicines. The agency found 69 reports of children's deaths connected with antihistamines, which are used to treat runny noses.
The Consumer Healthcare Products Association said it will conduct a multiyear campaign to educate parents and physicians on safe use of cold medicines. A spokeswoman for the group said it was too early to rule out a return of the products to the market.
"The manufacturers made this decision after a lot of consideration and with great care for the best interests of parents and children," said CHPA spokeswoman Virginia Cox. "But we can't speak to what the future holds."
The trade group stressed in a statement that the "medicines are, and have always been, safe at recommended doses."
However, industry critics challenged this statement.
"When it comes to children under age two there are no recommended doses on these products so it's not reasonable to claim they are safe and effective when used as directed," said Dr. Joshua Sharfstein, Baltimore's health commissioner.
FDA is reviewing the safety of cold medicines at the request Sharfstein and other Baltimore city officials, who reported 900 Maryland children under four overdosed on the products in 2004.
Catherine Tom-Revzon, a pediatric pharmacist, said parents should use natural therapies, including salt-water drops and humidifiers, to treat young children's colds before using drugs.
"These medications were never designed to cure colds but only to treat cold symptoms, and in children under two there was little evidence they were effective anyway," said Tom-Revzon, who is pharmacy manager at the Children's Hospital at Mentefiore in New York City.
Shares of Johnson and Johnson rose 28 cents to $66.012 while shares of Wyeth fell 12 cents to $46.02. Shares of Novartis AG rose 11 cents to $54.20 and Prestige Brands Holdings Inc. fell 7 cents to $11.09.
Questions about the products should be directed to McNeil's Consumer Relationship Center at 1-877-895-3665 (English) or 1-888-466-8746 (Spanish).

WASHINGTON -- The Food and Drug Administration said Friday it would look into claims from an advocacy group that certain lipsticks contain potentially dangerous levels of lead. Similar claims in the past have not been confirmed, the agency said.
The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics said that a third of the 33 red lipsticks examined by an independent lab contained a level of lead exceeding 0.1 parts per million -- which is the FDA's limit for lead in candy. The FDA does not set a limit for lead in lipstick.
The group commissioning the lipstick study says its goal is to pressure companies to remove toxic chemicals from products and replace them with safer alternatives. The lead tests were conducted by an independent lab last month on red lipsticks bought in Boston, San Francisco, Minneapolis and Hartford, Conn., the group said. Brands included L'Oreal and Cover Girl. AP
