Food Contamination Issues Move Through Human Food Chain and Still No Protests

What is it going to take to make the contamination of our pet and human food supply the number one story in America? A pile of dead babies who drank melamine-contaminated baby formula?

Where are the ads from Kraft, General Mills, McDonald's, and other huge manufacturers and sellers of foods that have been tainted with assurances that they are taking steps to test and isolate for poisons in the foods they sell?

Why are there still companies that imported melamine-laced wheat, corn, rice and vegetable glutens staying silent and not recalling the products? The FDA has refused to name two additional pet food companies whose products are contaminated and have not been recalled. How many companies that are selling contaminated human foods are hiding?

At least a couple of Congress people are paying attention, because sure as hell the President, the Attorney General, the FDA, the MSM and the public are not.

House Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee Chairwoman Rosa DeLauro, (D-CT), threatened Wednesday to slash Food and Drug Administration management salaries if agency leaders refuse to implement food safety measures she says are necessary, according to Govexec.com. But that won't happen until October when their budget is up for renewal.

"Our food safety system is collapsing," DeLauro said, "and the very agency charged with fixing it is asleep." DeLauro told The Hartford Courant.

She also renewed her bid for a single agency to regulate and enforce food safety laws, a task now shared by 15 different agencies. But that could take years.

The FDA is responsible for about 80 percent of the food supply. Yet, US food safety laws are over 100 years old, according to Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL)

Something needs to be done now, today. Our pets were just the coal mine canaries. Things are going to get a lot worse very soon. Pigs and chickens are already quarantined in several states, vegetable and soy protein is in food ranging from baby formula to energy bars.

Doesn't that bother anyone just a little?

Bravo, B.L. People are numbed down as they are being dumbed down.

Don't talk about all the dead, dying and mutilated military coming back from the war. Maybe they will all heal miraculously and we won't have to face the terrible thing we allowed our government leaders to do to and in Iraq, and to our brave military who must feel like fools when they think of how they followed orders for what seemed like a world-class protective reason, when in fact the US government's hidden agenda was something else entirely.

Dare I ask... where is Osama?

Don't talk about the possibility that human food -- that means food for elders and infants, too - is probably contaminated because we allowed our government leaders to downsize to the point of Danger! The funds meant to protect the food we feed our families is instead being used to feed the war.

Either way... the result is poison!
