    For those who are only reading the headline, this is mostly about the disastrous lead exposures happening in other (mostly lower-income) countries, and about how the lack of regulations/quality controls in those countries contributed to a situation where two imported cinnamon products in the US contained lead and were recalled.

    “So much lead in American food” consists of 2 recalled products, whereas the kids in Ecuador eating this same stuff daily don’t warrant a headline, I suppose

          I usually post articles in one community at a time anyway. I try to post a different articles to a few different communities each day just to keep things active and varied.
