I won't buy any of the high gloss books that are specifically marketed to children. Dog toys are out of the question, too. If our government isn't going to watch out for us all the time, how can we make any informed decision about what is safe? You can't put China awareness in the same category as conspiracy theory psychos - there's evidence for China awareness that is being shoved down our throats, kind of hard to ignore! We are a literate, educated family - not nerds, but my kids love to read as well as play imagination with toys. Taking away Thomas was the worst! But you know what? Kids get over it - they've rediscovered drawing, making up their own games, playing in the yard in the yard with the dog, and dragging me into the garage to turn blocks of wood into some pretty amazing kid-creations!

I agree with your perspective in many ways. As consumers and parents we need to look at each thing we buy - my parents did back in the 70's - and not bash just one country, parents need to be vigilant with anything and everything we provide our children, but our children do deserve the toys that make them giggle from the inside- out.
