How Close Was Tainted Wheat To Human Food?

"...sources tell CBS News that the FDA had tracked at least one suspect batch of wheat gluten into the human food supply, quietly quarantined some products and notified the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention to watch for new patients admitted to hospitals with renal or kidney failure."

You should junk fruit they put in the grocery stores in Fresno, CA. The good stuff goes out to the rest of the country and they know we can usually get good fruit and veggies at the stands.

Cooked my first batch of dog food yesterday.

Chick peas, barley, brown rice, peas, carrots and chicken.

Thank goodness it was a big hit...I made 4 gallons of it.

Thanks for the long list. Amazing all the products that contain junk, crap, filth, contaminates, etc. Some animal products appear to be made from already dead animals, AKA roadkill. Here’s a link to FDA Violation Code, updated this month. http://www.fda.gov/ora/oasis/ora_oasis_viol.html

I already know about the horrible diseases and parasites that are coming in on farm-raised fish. The poor things are raised in abominable conditions, jammed together in feces-filled water where parasites abound. Asian fish are notorious but I don’t think everyone realizes that they are being imported to be raised at firshfarms all over the world.

Contaminated fish can give you TAPEWORMS. Actually, there is a huge rise in tapeworm infestation of humans, with articles and books being published all the time on how to get rid of them.

In Mexico, Asian fish are now "farmed." Fishermen who have commercially fished those waters for generations are complaining like mad that farm fish have infected wild fish and their catches are greatly diminished.

Alaskan salmon, once considered pristine, are now being attacked by diseases and parasites never found there before and against which they have no immunity

If you want to spend an interesting few hours, look up farm raised fish diseases on the Net. Universities all over the world are desperately searching for ways to kill all the deadly parasites these fish are spreading into every ocean before the fish supply is 100% contaminated. AND that's just one problem with the stuff coming from Asia. Even lip gloss is on the list. And the list cannot in any way represent every single contaminated "filthy" illegal product coming in every single day. I was just on my way to Chinatown to buy some lovely Lychee Tea I cannot get in American stores. I usually purchase exotic Asian cooking sauces at a beautiful store there. Now, I think I'll pass on the whole thing.

...it puts the Chinese military buildup and their willingness to provide us with everything we need for pennies on the dollar into perspective.

And thefts of our key military/industrial tech. It explains the 600,000 spies "students" and "businessmen", and 50,000 business fronts, and their takeover of our ports... here on our own shores...the expropriation of our "night vision" tech, our "super magnet" tech, and on and on. The loss of our Aegis tech, the B-2 tech, the SM-3 tech, the Tomahawk tech, the next-generation carrier, submarine and naval tech.

And significantly, as you surmised, it explains the 6-to-1 trade imbalance, and the persistence of their poverty wages for actual workers... and the trillon dollar U.S. currency stash...

[Paul Ross]

...but it’s not as if it’s invaded our streets and we’re seeing people falling dead left and right.

Yet, eh?

Neither are we seeing dogs falling left and right.

Well, alot may be unconnected and unreported so far. And I've heard that about 2,000 cats lost all their 9 lives...

[Veto!]

I've always considered myself pro-business, but this sort of thing is beyond the pale.

I know exactly what you mean. I'm clinging to the capitalism of my childhood when companies made money and so did employees, and they all cared about the products they put out. Where the hell is the pride now?

A lot of people are getting fed up with business ethics today....and if the Republicans don't tackle it in a huge and aggressive way, we may be out of office forever. Sad in so many ways.

So who has the human ping list?

“Some animal products appear to be made from already dead animals, AKA roadkill.”

The FDA allows what is called “3d” food.

Get the kids out of the room and strap on your hernia belt.

3D food stands for DEAD DIESEASED AND DYING.

Dead cats and dogs from “rendering” plants are bought from animal pounds and shelters and fed to your DOGS and CATS.

Road kill is a component of pet food.

3D food that can’t be used in human food is rendered into “pet food”.

That dead cow that Farmer Jones found in the back forty after being missing for a few weeks? Yep, that’s what Muffy and Spot are having for dinner tonight.

And it’s all Okee Dokee with the FDA....

[tob2]

Lucky you. Home organics! Remember that smell very well. :)

[Paul Ross]

... but this is a logical fallacy masquerading as an argument.

No. Its a logical catch of your fallacies. Which masquerade as arguments.

[Paul Ross]

Make your argument; personal attacks demonstrate a lack of logic.

You missed the arguments. It all fits. It's explanatory power is undeniable.

And it refutes all of your attempts to deflect.

[Paul Ross]

Surprisingly? I doubt he's even heard about this.

You are hoist by your own petard...as per your latter assertion

And by the way, this is yet *another* logical fallacy: an argument from ignorance.

Your "doubts" aside, you are ignorant of *what* Chi Haotian has heard.

[Ciexyz]

Yikes!

[Paul Ross]

Anyway let me see if I can understand your argument

...the rest of your spiel is all confabulatory misrepresentation. I said what I said, not your perversions. I made a comment alluding to their enmity and duplicity. Suspicion of their motivation is key.

You do recognize thatChinese Communists are communists? Kapisch?! Do you remember what Communists believe and practice against the non-communist world? Reagan had it right.

"They reserve unto themselves the right to commit any crime, to lie, to cheat."

You have your own issues with fallacies, logical and otherwise, I see.

Let me ask you: Do you let facts get in your way?

[Veto!]

Thanks for the reminder about the disgusting carcasses fed to pets. I didn’t know it was called 3D. Gotta start cooking for the little darlings. Though my kitties tend to like their cans of Friskies fish varieties, they won’t touch any of the meat, undoubtedly for good reason.

Seems that the FDA needs a new moniker, how about FDDDA?

Yeah - springtime in Amish country is very ~fragrant~ .

Haven’t gotten sick from any of it yet.

[Geezerette]

Wow!!! Your comments on the wild salmon being contaminated ... that is really scary!! I have been picking up a can of wild Alaskan red salmon almost every time I get to go to Trader Joe's with a friend. Now, I wonder ...

Thanks for your input!
