Amazing. Assuming that the Chinese weren't really our great friends and allies, they could take out an amazingly large number of our population without firing a shot. Beats the hell out of a neutron bomb.
Perhaps the pet food contaminations were a test run or just an accident, but it likely has shown some nut case exactly how easy it would be. Who needs suicide bombers when you control the food supply and what goes in it?
So...what does "made in China" mean? It means we have sacrificed much of our manufacturing, our farming and now our food and vitamin production on the alter of cheap prices while giving away our safety and peace of mind.

Yep...the kook in me thinks all this has been a bio-war test run. Problem is, that kook's been right about a lot of things over the years.

Perhaps the pet food contaminations were a test run or just an accident, From what I've read the melamine was most likely added intentionally to boost the apparent protein content of the gluten when tested.
