More lead...this time in FOOD!

It's appalling. And scary. I mean, lead in kids toys isn't good, but doesn't shock me. They're cheap, coming from China and not meant to be eaten. But high lead levels in APPLE JUICE?  And not just off-brand apple juice: Whole Foods, Trader Joes, even GERBER!  Check out the full article here at inhabitots.  Big thanks to SamsterMommy for reprinting the list. I'd missed this entirely. There is no safe level of lead to ingest. Please go check your cupboards for the following:  All 125 of them!
