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.
HELL NO! Those are Fightin’ Words! I am an American patriot. How Dare you call a fellow FReeper such!
All I was saying in my previous post was: Rodents are an everpresent nuisance wherever grain is stored; eradication of them in these areas is virtually impossible. For that reason, our food safety laws acknowledge that a certain amount of rodent fecal matter in our grain products is acceptable. The poison in the gluten was Wafarin (a rat poison) as I understand it. I suspect that either some rodent bait got scooped up with the grain somewhere, or perhaps introduced into the grain by rat feces themselves. This doesn’t have to be an US vs Them issue.
However, the posts about supposed Chinese speeches concerning plans for Bio-Warfare are troubling. Having said that, I seriously doubt that the Chinese would use something as imprecise and ineffective as Rat Poison.
