Melamine now in human food.

Still not convinced that you should avoid food with unpronounceable ingredients, or of the merits of eating food produced locally? The tainted pet food has made its way into our food, thanks to industrial farming buying tainted hog and chicken feed from China. So, who’s your farmer?

  1. Well, if it’s good enough for my counters, it’s good enough for my food!

    (I’ll know we’re really doing well as a society when we get Corian in our Twinkies)

  2. This is not the reason to stop eating meat entirely. (I realize this probably isn’t the reason you stopped) Any Saturday city market features a plethora of local, pastured meat free of antibiotics and hormones from farms in the area. And it’s oh, so tasty.

  3. This is why I try to eat only lean protein, free range if I can, veggies, and fruits. These latest findings are only going to help me stick to my diet.

    Bubby is right. This isn’t about meat so much as foods with wheat gluten I thought…

  4. The bigger issue hiding behind this incident of strange and harmful chemicals in our food isn’t the strange and harmful chemicals. There is a whole different conversation that could be had from this incident, but which will not happen. It’s the elephant in the room. It’s China. It’s the way they do business. It’s the trade inequities, etc,.

    People think that they can erode it’s authoritarian government via capitalism- I think it is an extremely foolish belief.

  5. That’s it–back to the straw-and-bark diet for me again! (And the zip added by the acid rain from Midwestern power plants tastes just like balsamic!)

  6. Trvlnmn, you calling for a food fight :)

    Because they got us by 5:1 in population, and an active troop strength of 2.5 million with 1.5 million reserves. Thats a big elephant. Maybe we could send a salvo of trans fat fried eggroll, and a tanker ship full of sausage gravy.

  7. “Bubby, you sound like a franchise rep for Waffle House . . .hmmm.”

    My favorite is the Iron Skillet off of Rt. 95. All you can eat country fried steak with white gravy and mashed potatoes!!!
