    The executives of these companies should be hanged for this. No, this is not a bit. Each and every executive involved in this should literally be killed.

      And it should be on national television and we should explain exactly what they did as we watch them die.

    Hmm I know we like to lick China's clit a lot here but humor me for a sec. How did china handle their somewhat similar 2008 milk scandal?

    Cue citations needed episode on holding hearings and organizing studies and subcommittees without actually doing anything.

    This is horrifying. I hate capitalism.

    The US Food and Drug Administration has not yet set minimum levels for heavy metals in most infant food.

    I should hope not!

      this would be anti capitalist and harmful to innovation. when you start telling people what they can or can not conceal in the things you feed to infants, you kidnap the industry. do you want these children to STARVE? because this is how you starve children. en masse. this is what stalin did.

      keep the markets free, and our children strong. by feeding them the strongest elements we can think of.

      Gonna guess that there are specialized foods for infants with deficiencies of like zinc or manganese.

    Healthy Babies Bright Futures published a report in 2019 that found toxic metals in 95% of the baby foods randomly pulled off supermarket shelves and tested -- that exposé was the "inspiration" for the subcommittee's work, Krishnamoorthi told CNN.

      Absolutely would be very interested.

      This is partly why I started growing my own weed, if there was a comm for self sufficiency stuff I'd definitely contribute a recreational microgardening post with resources and stuff

    One of the most enraging things about this failed state is the amount of lead we know people are consuming. Everyone responsible for this should be fed lead.

    Capitalism sucks so much ass that these greedy fucking vermin can't even manage not to poison babies with heavy metals.

    the four companies mentioned are just the only four that submitted to testing

    the rest of the major baby food producers, like Walmart and Campbell, refused to cooperate and may have even higher levels

      They put all their toxic shit in baby food so there was sadly none left for adult food.
