Reason #1,888 Not to Shop at Family Dollar Store: Killer Cinnamon

08.03.2024 by Fred Berman //

We all know if you buy anything at a discount store like Family Dollar, Dollar Tree or Sav-A-Lot you are getting a small size or just pure crap.  I have found only 3 reasons to walk into one of those junk emporiums: helium party balloons, gift bags or greeting cards because why pay $5.00 for a Hallmark card that is going to be torn open, have the money removed and be deposited unread into the recycle bin.

The FDA has now identified 7 brands of cinnamon powder that is contaminated with toxic levels of lead, all sold through discount outlets.  So now you not only have to worry about if your jewelry contains blood diamonds, or if your apple watch was made by an indentured child in a sweat shop, but also where the ingredients for that snickerdoodle you swiped from the lunchroom were purchased.

I can give up diamonds and Apple watches, but snickerdoodles?  Some things are worth the risk!
