Thanks for the ping. I would at least like to know where things come from and have the opportunity not to buy something that contains ingredients from certain countries (specifically China), so I just wrote the following to Steve Buyer, my congressman:
“In light of the recent pet food contamination that resulted in the poisoning and death of thousands of America’s pets with melamine-laced wheat and rice gluten products from China, I respectfully request that Congress REQUIRE ALL HUMAN AND PET FOOD MANUFACTURERS to LIST ALL OF THE COUNTRIES that contributed ingredients to any product (including vitamins, minerals, and nutritional supplements) sold in the United States ON THE PRODUCT”S LABEL.”
Great idea!
