Long suspected and finally confirmed. The Chinese wheat gluten was certified as -human grade-. Thousands of tons of the stuff has not been accounted for. Many pet food additives are certified as human grade.

This is real easy. Ban all food import from Red China. Problem solved.

That’s what I do - this year I will have 6 4x4’ raised beds that will supply many of my veggie and fruit needs.

Many pet food additives are certified as human grade.

That's so it's safe for old people to eat.

So what are the poisonous adulterants?

Why is the CDC interested in pet food? (not)

Who can trust plagiaristic/lying/CBS, anyway.

Do a Freep search for “pet food recall” and you will see dozens of articles detailing the train wreck in progress.

Even CBS can get one story right on occasion....

Am I the only person here that sees a conspiracy to poison the enemy by China?
