<<It's funny that you think of thinking as being an evil-doing activity directed towards fraudulently lining one's own pocket.>>

Maurice, 9 times out of 10 that is the case and as you said..<<I assume people in China will put anything in that they think they can get away with.>>
Do you think Chinese or anyone else would spike your peanut butter with something more expensive than the norm ?

In the case of juice...sugar cheaper than Vitamin C so forget the vitamin C and say we did.

""""Vitamin C price had been falling since 1995 to USD2.7/kg in early 2002 and it resumed since 2002 to USD6.0/kg in Nov 2002 due to the relative short supply in the world."""

Sugar about USD .55 /kg

Same with gasoline and you have admitted the Shinanigans that go on... see the way you think<<<There was no radioactive isotope control so theoretically, fuel in NZ could have been used as a waste disposal system for the nuclear power industry. There was no benzene control. The quality problem was perhaps a slightly off-spec volatility control, or half an octane number too low or something not bad enough to wreck things, but enough to be really annoying.>>>think virtuous thoughts Maurice...we will just feed in cheap or dangerous this or that and no one will be the wiser..when Canadians send a boat load of wheat to Russia ...ya think they are getting 100 percent wheat...hell no they trim in a percentage of cheap crap they want to get rid of...freethinking their way to a better bottom line.

Free thinking in many businesses not wanted...just rules, backed by third party quality control, backed by hammer consequences for we are all, looking for advantage .
