I’m confused, We import wheat???? I thought we were the world’s biggest EXPORTER! Did this stuff really come from China, or are they being made the scapegoats for some sloppy vermin control practices here in the Breadbasket?
Boy, you need to learn more about the increasingly fascist/communist policies of this country - yes, the US.
The communist policy of subsidizing “poor farmers” with federal TAXES is what is making their prices too high to bother buying here.
It’s a welfare state now, where everyone is a “victim” and “helpless”, and everyone is on the teat. Which ultimately makes everyone equally poor. A communist ideal.
A member of the blame America, first, last and always crowd are you?
Our very own wheat producers are poisoning us, folks. Our only hope for survival is to import all our wheat from Communist China.
I don't understand that either.
It is indeed confusing. We export wheat to China, China makes "wheat gluten" out of some of it, and ships it back to us. I read on another thread that we make some wheat gluten here but as usual the US producers use far more from China because it's cheaper. Well you get what you pay for I guess.
The wheat product, gluten, was imported. For all we know, the gluten might have been made from wheat exported by the US to China.
The rat poison theory has been discounted. Apparently there is melamine in the contaminated gluten but there is speculation that melamine is not the cause of the pet deaths.
