Made in China

[EDIS]

What associations do come up when you see the "Made in China"? Its cheap and a bad quality? Well now I have another attitude about it.
Video talks itself.

Its good for people to see this, then maybe they will think about what brought this bargain price merchandise to the stores. The last part of the video when the animal raised it's head and looked around was beyond cruel.
Sad thing is, in most cases we can no longer completely boycott all goods from China, most of the computer hardware (among other things) we all use is made in China with no alternative. Considering the fact that several computer components are manufactured from heavy metals it makes me wonder how many people that work for these companies glow in the dark.

I recall things marked "Made In Occupied Japan" made in Japan, made in Hong Kong. Made in Taiwan.(Formosa?) Mainly ceramics, toys, clothing, transistor radios. Some were cheap, and many of those items go for big bux on ebay. History repeats itself. I don't care where something is made, as long as the manufacturing/ health conditions/wages are fair to all.
I would never knowingly buy stuff from a bad manufacturer. We purchase so many things that end up in yard sales, and land fills. I am especially cautious about food items from China. Those people eat plucked pigeons with the heads still on them. Scary. Still, the Chinese do make some nice things. We made some dumb and dangerous stuff here, too, in the USA. I am a vegetarian, and avoid anything associated with harming people or animals for a profit.
