This is one of the most chilling scenarios I could imagine. The range of the population that this would affect is horrific. Just makes me wonder, if there was a specific threat regarding milk or the food supply in general.

Shepard Smith, Fox News, commented: "Ya can't blog. Ya can't keep your own home. But, if you want to tell the terrorists how to poison the milk supply...you're on!"

In past years trash and food products were shipped on the same trucks. I recollect butter and trash, but some of you may recollect other products shipped in this manner. There are countless ways in which our food can be contaminated, some after they leave their place of origin.

Sanitary shipping
