Okay, I don't give my kids tons of junk, but this is one thing I would NEVER feed my kids since I heard this story. My DH has done electrical work since he was a kid helping his dad, before he ever got his own license. He told me that just once, when he was 17, there was a job the two turned around and walked out of. This was an applesauce factory. He named the company at the time but I can't recall which, only that it was a big one. Apparently there were maggots on the conveyor belts, falling into the vats, getting ground up with the applesauce, and the consumers never the wiser. I asked, "Aren't there inspections?" He says apparently it is cheaper to pay off the inspectors than to clean up. He says he and his dad were so sick at what they saw that they turned around and walked out, and that this is the only job they have ever walked out of. So, my question is, how can people eat that stuff, much less feed it to innocent kids and feel PROUD of giving it to them?
