Depends on where the Chinese restaurant buys its food supplies.
Well, it’s a good bet where they get their ingredients from.
yep.
Here are a few links to FR articles on Duncan. I'll see what I can find on Paul while you're checking these out.

I'm old and slow at this HTML stuff. Sorry this took so long.
You will be very pleased to discover that we rich guys down here on Wall Street absolutely agree. We are the engine that runs the whole economy of the nation. Therefore, whatever makes us richer eventually trickles down and benefits everybody else. So, nothing can be allowed to stand in our way as we seek to maximize corporate profits for our shareholders, and benefits packages for the executives of the corporations we serve. That is what capitalism is about, after all. It’s not about growing food and making crap.
I like the fact that you sound like you see things from more than one point of view.
Thank you SO much for gathering these links. I will definitely read them and educate myself (although it will be tomorrow—getting late)
So there is free trade and then there is fair trade—am I getting that right? I’ve had so much tunnel vision on other issues, I need to get up to speed on this.
For Immediate Press Release
The entire staff of the FDA has been recalled. This includes all dates of issue and is a purely precautionary measure.
Only a few hundred heads have exploded during media events held by the FDA and it is important to note that less than 1% of the American population is affected by this recall. Only 16 of the people whose heads exploded are considered “officially” deceased and the total number of those killed by brain explosion may never be known. Mostly because we are not going to count them.
Amnesty International has provided proof that allowing the FDA to continue making media releases constitutes torture of a nature that violates the rules of the space time continuum and could result in early heat death of the universe.
Tests are ongoing to confirm this but results are not in yet, everyone forced to choose between listening to FDA media releases or hop naked into a barrel of rattlesnakes has chosen the snakes.
The executives of the FDA will be replaced by the 2007 graduating class of Mrs. Dingleberrys’ School for “Special” Children,most of whom can tie their own shoes and count to almost 12, thus assuring that the high academic standards required of the FDA will be improved by a factor of several hundred percent.
No further recalls are expected at this time.
Experienced FEMA staff is being used during the transition and the situation is going almost as smoothly as the evacuation of New Orleans. The American public can rest assured that the food on store shelves is just as safe as it was before the recall, possibly safer.
Thanks for your insightful posts.
I love it! Classic!!!
I have just finished writing to the President,my State Senators, the Veterinary head of the FDA, and a few others on the back of pictures of my dead dog, telling them I want answers as to why the warnings weren’t out before and what is the matter with the system now that it has gone into the human food supply.
Hopefully the Senate offices will be flooded with these pictures next week.
Got this off the site http://www.pnv2.com/
Usually write on my own but this does seem like it will have a greater impact.

My Pet Counts! Postcard Blitz
*More info can be found at www.itchmo.com and www.petconnection.com*
We are calling on all pet owners, parents, guardians
who have lost a pet due to contaminated pet food
to join us in a post card blitz to demonstrate the
full scope of this pet food recall disaster.
The FDA continues to publicize only “16 confirmed
deaths.”
This number has often been repeated by the media.
Reliable sources report that the number of pet deaths
are and will be much higher
- most likely in the thousands.
If you want your pet’s death to count for something
good, please join the My Pet Counts!
Post Card Blitz.
Who: Anyone who has lost a pet due to contaminated
pet food.
What: Post cards may have a picture of your pet, or
can be blank.
Purchase cards or design your own. Each set of
postcards represents one pet.
If you have lost multiple pets, send multiple cards
to each address.
Only one set of postcards per dead pet , please.
Postcards ONLY, this is to ensure the mail is
delivered with no security delay.
Where: No need to leave home. You can mail your
postcards from your own mailbox.
When: All postcards should be mailed on Saturday,
April 28th.
This coincides with the national march organized by
KOPS (Keep Our Pets Safe).
If all postcards are mailed on the same day, the
impact will be all the greater when
received at the other end.
Why: By sticking to the “only 16 confirmed deaths”
wording this disaster is being grossly minimized.
The word must get out!
How: Mail a postcard to each of the addresses
provided.
The message should be very short, easy to read, no
anger, profanity, or rudeness of any kind.
Let them see your grief. Tug at their heartstrings.
Use your pet’s name.
Use the words “My Pet Counts!”

Yes it seems that there is. I don't know who actually writes our trade agreements, but it seems to me that they are purposely written to screw us. The other country always gets a better deal.
You'll better understand what I mean when you read Duncan's articles. I'm terrible at trying to explain this stuff.
Good night and happy reading! 
I have enjoyed reading your posts on free trade. Your insight and explanations are excellent.
RE: your post #44.
I suspect you’all is pretty good with ciphering the numbers, nobody has showed up with flamethrowers ;^)
This is why I don't understand how people can say that we shouldn't rely on the government so much... <dripping with sarcasm/>
Eat at your own risk -- U.S. safety rules weak-(MOST vitamins made in china)
U.S. hogs ate contaminated pet food from China.
Blue Buffalo Recalls Can and Biscuit Products Due To Tampering By American Nutrition Inc.
Recalled Pet Food Given To Hogs (Not Clear If Meat Entered Food Supply)
Yep side deals.........if they are trying to tell us this criminal activity is done just in the pet food supply I have a bridge to sell.
Dishonesty runs amok there.
BTW, what took the FDA so long to start checking these places???????
Is this another govt agency afraid they will get caught sleeping at the wheel and doing their CYA dance now?
It certainly does sound like CYA
Incredible isn’t it?
