Default Most of our vitamins are coming from China

This is not exactly a new story, but I was watching W5 (our version of 60
minutes) last night and they were talking about the impossibility of buying
foods without made in China content. One item they looked at was breakfast
cereal; most companies did not track country of origin or would not admit
COA. The only company that knew COA and would admit it was Kellogg. The one
item that came from China was the vitamins in the cereals, apparently China
now makes 90% of the Vitamin C in the world. They also spoke to one of our
leading vitamin manufacturers and they won't use made in China product
(except Vitamin C) where possible due to the scary quality control. Don't
get me wrong I'm not China bashing, it's largely the American public's
demand for cheap goods and the greed of the multinationals that have put us
where we are. Once China gets it's act together they are going to eat our
economic lunch, but it's a scary place in the short term.

I doubt you can watch the video on the attached page if you're in the US,
but try it anyway.
