News just in from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that it will be tightening the amount of lead allowed in children's candy.
[Carmi pauses to shake his head and bemusedly mutter a three-word obscenity starting with "what the..." There, I'm over it. I'll continue.]
I simply want to know who allowed lead in kids' candy in the first place? What other noxious stuff is going into their - and our - food?
Please let me know if I'm the only one who finds this somewhat - OK, extremely - disturbing.

Completely disturbing. Maybe that's what's triggering the rise in kids with learning disabilities. Good god, what is this world coming to?
I second the WT? sentiment. I have to admit, I'm not a close follower of what my son puts in his mouth, although JELLO is outlawed in my home. (watched a documentary once) Yikes!
You're right - who knew?! This is crazy.
You know, I'm not even going to ask. I'm just going to shake my head and use this as an excuse to resist the sweet tooth.
I shared your WTF? reaction. Then I noticed the article says sugar itself contains lead, which caused another WTF? moment. I thought sugar was good old C6-H12-O6 - no room for lead in that formula.
Are there no safe vices anymore?
WHAT?! There was a huge to-do a few years ago because there was the tiniest amount of a mercury related preservative in some vaccines. Those are necessary. I don't get this. I don't understand how the companies are getting away with having lead in their candy.
EXTREMELY disturbing indeed!
What is this??? Its not GASOLINE for crying out loud! Sometimes the world dumbfounds me.
Yipes! And here I was, just worrying about the hormones in the dairy & meats. Now I have to worry about the candy too. This world is nuts.
I suppose I might find this a little disturbing if I didn't already know about the "permissible" percentage of rats limbs, bugs, spiders and other assorted grotesque things that are allowed in processed foods.
