Disgusting! And I don't mean, "Eew, pet food with melamine is gross." I mean I'm disgusted with those "food" makers cheating "just a little bit" and telling themselves they're not hurting animals.

Yeah, disgusting. Plus, today's LA Times had an article about the Chinese in outlying districts feeding their honeybees antibiotics, which then taints the honey they put in metal containers (a real no-no) and send off to be exported all over the world! Check your country-of-origin labels on your food!

Another reason why the "small government" people are full of shit. It's scarey that the FDA doesn't have sufficient inspectors to deal with this stuff. Sometimes we need more regulation, not less.

If you haven't read The Jungle (Upton Sinclair), get to it. We need to staff up on the people that protect us.
