I'm not quite ready to forgo eating chocolate chip cookies at the church luncheon because somebody might have used Nestle chips, which might have used Chinese milk, which might have been tainted, but it's still creepy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19803826.post-89754247293428270522008-10-03T13:47:00.000-07:002008-10-03T13:47:00.000-07:00Well, in the case of chocolate, one could eat dark...Well, in the case of chocolate, one could eat dark chocolate and thus not risk milk in the mix....and go for a very high cacao concentration and avoid the sugar....Bike Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193546045614393425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19803826.post-42639192375241032492008-10-03T10:26:00.000-07:002008-10-03T10:26:00.000-07:00Thanks for the advice.

I went to a mostly Chinese church when I lived in LA for two summers (the culture was closer to my own, ironically), and I found that a lot of the good stuff in the "99" asian supermarket was made in exotic places like Iowa. An awful lot of the rest will come from Taiwan and such.<BR/><BR/>I'd actually be more careful about some of the "commodity" foods one gets--like, say, Cadbury milk chocolate featuring dairy from there.Bike Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193546045614393425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19803826.post-71933018161894281802008-10-02T18:33:00.000-07:002008-10-02T18:33:00.000-07:00Yeah, and I like to shop in the imported foods ais...Yeah, and I like to shop in the imported foods aisle, too.
