What about this?~.....blessings T

The Food and Drug Administration said Friday that its safety experts have concluded that eating a very tiny amount of melamine -- 2.5 parts per million -- would not raise health concerns, even if a person ate food that was tainted with the chemical every day.

Separately, a New Jersey company announced a recall of Chinese-made yogurt drinks Friday after FDA testing found melamine. The Blue Cat Flavor Drink, also called Lanmao, is sold nationwide in Asian groceries, said a spokesman for the company, Tristar Food Wholesale of Jersey City.
More U.S. recalls involving melamine can be expected as product testing continues, particularly in Asian groceries around the country, FDA officials said.

FDA officials stressed that the melamine safety assessment the agency issued Friday does not mean U.S. authorities will condone foods deliberately spiked with the chemical. The 2.5 parts-per-million standard is meant to address situations in which the chemical accidentally comes into contact with food, such as in cases where it is used for industrial purposes in a factory that makes food products. snip

Why not a few mouse turds in the cereal? Probably wouldn't be fatal to anyone, but might get stuck in yer teeth. Let's just throw out the standards for our "trading partner."

I have begun looking at the labels. No more Chinese food products in our house. Who knows what else they have fed us? They can't be trusted with our health. Why does our .gov insist on feeding the hand that bites us?

I'd like to extend a formal invitation to Dr. Eschenbach and his family. If he and the kids would like to come over and demonstrate the safety of melamine, I'd happily serve "tiny" hor devours consisting of pigs in a Magic Eraser. We could invite the Chinese media and make it a photo op.

And so, what?


Is this supposed to be a justification for .gov's unwillingness or inability to stop this crap from entering our food supply?????


Last time I checked, the complete ABSENCE of melamine in our food did not harm adults either!

Populations that are sick and starving are easy to control if they have to beg for their food and medicine.

Just wait, the Codec Alimentarius will rear it's ugly head again and you won't be able to get the vitamins and herbal products that will actually keep you healthy.

This is planned and the takeover is well underway. I can guarantee you that those in power have their own sources of food that are only for them. Healthy food animals and grains, veggies, ect. You don't actually think "they" will eat this stuff do you? It's ok for the peasants tho.

Did they or did they not..

I read that they found melamine in the coffee milk starbuk products and pulled them. Now I see them in the food markets. Maybe after products?

From the way the FDC speaks, it is just in our food and they are shocked. I googled the product..it has a chemical name. All over the internet, sales of it. The name eludes me. I think it is tri..something. Can someone post the real chemical name of it here. The name for melamine is not melamine, but something scientific. It has a name. I had it saved but lost it, during the recent computer problems I had. Perhaps it has been entirely cleansed from the entire internet. They must really be making big bucks from the sales of it..to slaughter hundreds of thousands of dogs and cats and NOW sacrificing little babies! How about those spots on the MRI's, maybe not CANCER..but hardened PLASTIC! Perhaps CHEMO will melt it down! There must be something/chemo that will dissolve PLASTIC/melamine. Perhaps China manufacturers it!

I say that they should just put "A little bit" of this in the food at the FDA and make them eat it. Bet they wouldn't.

This is food for thought (no pun intended).
Is it possible that this was intentionally on the part of the government?

I am wondering just how much of this stuff is in the food that we are eating now, without knowing it.

Don't forget the tiny bits of BullS*** the FDA gives us...

The aristocracy doesn't eat this stuff. They eat organic food and have chefs who cook from scratch. They can afford it. The bourgeois are the ones who eat this stuff 3 x a day. Those dirt cookies from Haiti would be more nutritious than the garbage in the stores now...

Oh, BTW...I gave up those cappuccinos I love so much. After passing kidney sand this week, I decided they weren't worth it!!!!! I'm sticking with plain ground coffee from now on.

I have been trying to eat more organically grown and produced foods... Unfortunately, the marketplace makes it more expensive to buy things that haven't been adulterated by those that think they know better than us... I was at the store the other day, and bought some Borden Organic Milk, just to give it a taste. As soon as I swallowed the first gulp, I was amazed. I quickly realized that I had gotten so used to drinking the processed stuff, that I had forgotten how "real" milk tastes. The same thing happened when I ate free-range, organic eggs. My point is this, whether by accident or on purpose, the addition of chemicals to our food, used to be in response to a perceived lacking in our diet... Iodine added to salt, vitamin d added to milk, etc. Now, things are being added to make the producers' lives easier. It's no longer an issue of "it's better for you". Now, it's the determination that well, "it doesn't hurt you." So, I guess that makes it OK, huh?

As for me, I have started a concentrated effort to find all-natural foods locally. I am quite far from any farmer's markets and such, but the difference in taste and health, more than makes up for the difference in price, IMHO.

Wonder how safe the powdered milk is? I've been wanting to buy some of the whole powdered milk for a while now, maybe they just changed my mind.

That's about what I was going to say.

A tiny bit of arsenic won't kill you, but that doesn't mean I'll put it on the menu!

The only safe food is home grown, home processed, home cooked, then home eaten.

Got a garden in yet? If not, you better get with the program or buy one of those pre-paid funerals so you don't leaves your loved ones having to sort it out after you've been poisoned to death with those tiny bits of this and that.
