Now food fed to commercially farmed fish in the US is tainted with Chinese melamine.  The FDA doesn't *think* it remains in the fish in amounts high enough to cause damage to people who eat the fish, but they can't say it for sure at this point. 

Who needs terrorism when venal avarice, callous endangerment for financial gain and greed can kill us just as easily?

AWESOME!

I'm actually sort of shocked at how badly we've messed up own food supply, yet I keep putting this stuff in me every day, which is even more amazing.

Once I'm moved* I might try to sign up for one of the co-ops so that at least I'm eating locally.

*very soon!

I also recently read about something else done for profit - a Chinese company was selling what amounts to antifreeze instead of a sweetener that typically goes into cough medicine. This past year hundreds (maybe more) died in Panama. total profit was maybe 1,000 US.

Yeah.

I may go off the fucking grid one of these days.
