Just saying everyone who wants to should put their money where their mouths are and make an effort to not purchase Chinese products. In fact try to buy Canadian or North American if you can.

Real easy to say it's hard, it's impossible. Could counter that easy with many things worth doing are hard.

Also easy to pick out individual products and show how it is difficult to do a 100% boycott because one ingredient is from China.

Next time you are in a Wal Mart for example, check out how many items are from China. Maybe try not to support WalMart for a month. There are alternatives, maybe it costs more, but perhaps it is worth it in the end.
No, no, no.

I'm say we SHOULD boycott China, because a LOT of the stuff they make can also be made in India or Japan.
