Archive - May 2007 Pet Food Recall and Human Food compromised.Posted May-31-07 11:37:00 PDT Lots of related news this past week. China has convicted and sentensed to death their head of FDA .Possibly a scapegoat to save trade relations with the US. A couple days later, two US companies are found to be adding melamine as a binder to poultry, fish, beef and pork...even though it is not an approved substance. At the most people responsible in this country will lose their jobs and possibly face some jail time. Meanwhile our human and pet food supply has been comprimised and turkey is the only meat so far not tainted in some way. Menu foods claims they have lost 30 million dollars over this recall. It is sad that in their stockholder report that they do not mention all the pets who have died as a result of corporate gread. Please stop buying comercial pet food if you are doing so. None of it is safe till we get better standards and inspections. Boycott China. Plant a garden. Buy local and USA. Speak out for those who can not speak anymore. Toothpaste taintedPosted May-24-07 08:44:51 PDT The FDA is checking out toothpaste imported from China. Makes you wanna spit doesn't it? Pet Connection.com for updates on the Pet Food Recall. Don't wait for our gov't to save us! More tainted food from ChinaPosted May-23-07 09:10:12 PDT Washington Post ran a story on Sunday about the FDA confiscating 107 contaminated food imports from China. 1000 shipments Chinese dietary suppliments, toxic chinese cosmetics, and counterfeit medicines. See Pet Connection.com for the latest developments of the Menue Pet Food Crisis. It sure is frightening to find out through our pets deaths how precarious the US food supply is! Better start reading labels on things! Find out country of origin before you partake! Link between tainted pet food and vanishing beesPosted May-19-07 09:58:06 PDT See Pet Connection.com for the most updated news about the Menu Pet Food recall. Today it seems there may be a link to the missing bee colonys (Colony Collapse Disorder) as wheat glutin and corn glutin are used frequently in commercial bee food. Not only has there been thousands of deaths of cats and dogs; contaminated food was also fed to poultry, swine, and fish. There is much evidence that this crisis is expanding to the human food chain as some of these contaminated animals have been processed for human consumption. Also many of the ingredients used are also present in much of our imported foods from China. It is starting to look like China may be trying to poison us. Certainly terroists are taking notes. There is a national security risk when the human food chain is in jeapordy. Our pets may have been the price for learning of this vulnerability. I pray that there is no link between Colony Collapse Disorder and the recent poisoning of our pet food. But if so... Einstein predicted that human civilization would last only a few years without the bees to pollinate our crops. I am boycotting China. I won't be buying anything from there, and I won't even watch the Olympics hosted there. I am not waiting for my government to disentagle themselves from this harmful country.

Latest on Menu Pet Food RecallPosted May-09-07 15:24:58 PDT Looks like the buisness man that they arrested in China for contaminating the pet food that was imported to the US: two days prior to his arrest he bulldozed the factory. When our inspectors got there...well there was only a pile of bricks. I want to know when there will be arrests in this country. See petconnecton.com for the most recent news. Don't depend on our government to tell consumers the truth...until they are backed into a corner that is! NPR coverage on the Menu Food Pet RecallPosted May-09-07 13:11:42 PDT Maybe the story isn't being completely buried. This afternoon listen to NPR for the latest. They claim there will be insight into the way China does business...I think it is more revealing as to the business practices of the US. We may be watching the right hand when we need to be looking at the left hand. See petconnection.com for the latest updates on the pet food crisis. They are posting much sooner than the media or the FDA. Pet Food Recall buried by the mediaPosted May-09-07 09:34:56 PDT See petconnection.com for the most recent pet food recall info. I informed them today that the US Fisheries also use pet food to feed the commercial fish that we end up consuming. The pet food recall story is now old news even though business practices continue that will ineveitably harm us all...it's all just OK now. The old saying is in order here "todays news is used to wrap tomorrows fish". Bon apetite.
