Nestle Being Sued for $100 Million Dollars Over Hazardous Lead in Food

The Indian government is suing Nestle for allowing food to enter the country while allegedly knowing it was highly contaminated with lead. One of their instant noodle products, called Maggi, is a very popular product in India.

The lawsuit is for $100 million, claiming irreversible damage to their citizens. In adults, lead poisoning can lead to various ailments including, hearing and vision impairment, reproductive problems, nerve damage to the sense organs and nerves controlling the body, and slow fetal development even at very low levels. It’s mind boggling! I will never understand how corporations can put profit in front of the safety of their customers.

China Could Stop the U.S. From Doping Pigs

It’s pretty surprising when China decides to ban something that the United States is using, but that’s exactly what’s happening with ractopamine, a beta agonist used by 80 percent of U.S. farmers. Ractopamine is used to create leaner and heavier pigs, in order to gain a greater profit. But China has deemed it unfit for human consumption, which has resulted in a 40% decrease of pig exported from the US to China. The adverse effects of the drug on pigs like trembling, broken limbs, inability to walk and even death are reason enough to ban it for humans to consume. Could this mean the end of the U.S. using Ractopamine in order to continue to export pigs to China?
