Tyson will have Clintoon smooth things out, beings they bought him.

[Principled]

What are they threatening? To stop eating safe food from us? They’ll be stuck without enough food or with tainted food of their own. That seems dumb.

[boomop1]

Flock them feces eating commies..

[Steel Wolf]

Maybe we can just sell them used cardboard, and keep the meat for ourselves?

Mmmm mm mmmm, cardboard dumpling, just like Mao, er, Mom used to make.

I'm okay with your plan, actually. So long as we charge them grade A meat prices for the cardboard.

[FReepapalooza]

Nah, that makes too much sense.

[LibLieSlayer]

Shut off ALL chicom imports NOW!

[Cheburashka]

China-made products should not be labelled as substandard just because of a few bad producers deaths.

Yeah, these people were going to die anyway.

Maybe not for a couple of decades, but eventually. Hey, they were goners.

Children and minorities most effected....

They probably wouldn't know the difference.

[eyedigress]

Just wait until Steinbrenner(sp) gets word that Costanza is responsible for this!

[Grizzled Bear]

Chicken feet supplied by Sanderson Farms had growth enhancers and anti-parasite drugs, it said.

Awe man! I HATE growth enhancers in my Chicken Feet!

[Donald Rumsfeld Fan]

Officials said they had found salmonella and growth-enhancers in several imported US chicken products.

China this week also executed a top official for approving unsafe drugs.

Translation: We execute our corrupt bureaucrats. What do you do to yours?

[M Kehoe]

One day...one day soon the Chicoms will have to float the Yuan. When it happens, all that pent up inflation will have to go somewhere. With the inflation will come unemployment. Add to that rising oil prices (China is a net importer), the internet, cell phones, and a taste of Western culture, and what do you have? A politburo, and central planning committee having a hard time keeping the peasants in line.

Oh, I forgot, add a dash of Islam too. Don't here much of it, but the Chinese have a Muslim problem like everyone else. A trade war is the last thing Huo (sp) wants.

Might as well since they're making buns out of carboard.

“The resulting market demand will mean more jobs for Americans,”

More like more jobs for people in India, Thailand, Vietnam, etc.

[mkjessup]

That depends on whether additional call center employees are required.
