> Maybe if we weren’t feeding our crops to our gas tanks, we wouldn’t need feed from China.

We have enough to fill our gas tanks and our bellies both. But food manufacturers have a problem paying five cents more per pound of meal. And the reason the ChiComs can offer it for less is because they have slave wages and no quality control.

If they labelled food correctly we would have no problem letting the market decide that Chinese crap would gather an inch of dust on store shelves.

You’re right. We REALLY need plain, understandable food labeling. What we’ve got instead is very little MSM reporting on this, and even less interest from most of the elites on the Hill.

Cute. But if these companies knew this stuff was bad and sold it anyway, that’s a crime, and they should pay for that crime.

Do you think they shouldn’t?

> And if you want that lettuce a nickle cheaper or your house painted for slave wages, just accept all them illegal aliens.

Oh hey why not just reinstitute slavery? Why should a few pesky Consitutional amendments stand in the way of more profit?

Good for them! We should be able to grow plenty of our own catfish — especially down in the South.

"What are our elected officials eating? Don’t they have children and pets, too?"

I can't answer that. One wonders, huh?

Thanks for the ping Lucy.

We have been fed lies from the start. I read where Menu food got word of pets getting sick way last summer. Then, (suddenly) in March a recall. But nationwide there is only 17 pet deaths. Well, counting the death of my dog and my son’s dog, that leaves 15.

There are thousands of dead pets.

Then there was only one pig farm in CA. with toxic pigs, then we find there are 6, (oh really, only 6).
Then one chicken farm in Missouri with toxic chicken, then suddenly there are 38 in IN. alone, who knows how many more.

Lies, lies, lies.

“There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.” - Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881) British Statesman, Prime Minister, Author

So when are the statistics coming out?

They will lie about that also.
Disgusting.

Hmm, seems the ChiComs may not need to use that missile technology that the Clintonoids sold them. They have found an easier, more subtle way.

It would make more sense to feed the Chinese grain to our gas tanks, but then the Chinese would be the beneficiary of the artificially high grain prices. By the way, I think it’s corn that is going in the gas tanks and wheat protein that is being bought from China.

The 17 deaths were only the deaths that were reported by the manufacturer during their initial tests.

The FDA reported these as the nationwide toll when in fact there have been thousands of pet deaths.

You mean fructose also comes from China??

How come it does say on the food label?

I thought they were supposed to tell us?

I don't know where it comes from, there isn't a lot of truth in labeling.

As VictoryGal stated:

"If they labelled food correctly we would have no problem letting the market decide that Chinese crap would gather an inch of dust on store shelves."

It seems the Chinese may have poisoned our food supply on an industrial scale. A strategic nuclear strike shouldn’t be out of the question.
