Associated Press writer Dirk Lammers attempted to avoid buying Chinese-made products for a week and found what many of us have suspected for a while - it can't be done.

The really scary part is that when it comes to food products, the American consumer is not allowed to know the county of origin of the substances they are putting into their bodies and the bodies of their children thanks to George W. Bush.

A 2002 Farm Bill passed by Congress mandated country-of-origin labeling for seafood, beef, lamb, pork, fish, fruits, vegetables and peanuts, but the Bush administration has delayed its implementation for everything except seafood until October 2008.

This is important to know because of the tainted pet food products, toothpaste and seafood from China recently making the headlines.

Makes us wonder how many more goods from China are really "bads."
