So now melamine is in the human food supply. Had enough of Republicanism yet?

Thousands of dead pets aren't enough for these people who want to drown government in the bathtub and let corporations run amok. Now the quest for ever-increasing profits has meat producers feedchickens and pigs adulterated grains on the cheap, even if it means people become sick or even die:

The Food and Drug Administration says it will, for the first time, test ingredients imported for use in the human food supply in connection with the nationwide pet food recall that has killed, by some estimates, thousands of pets.

In addition, the FDA on Tuesday announced plans to expand testing of the animal food supply after hogs on farms in three states were quarantined after testing positive for the substance at the center of the recall, the toxic agent melamine.

A poultry farm in Missouri is also being investigated, federal officials said.

Wheat gluten, corn gluten, corn meal, rice bran and rice protein are among the imported products being tested in both the animal and human food supply.


Had enough of "less government" yet?
