Numbers of babies dead, almost 7,000 babies seriously ill (at least that's what we have been told has been admitted) and the litany goes on of contaminated milk powder, formula, and now whole milk in China. Thank God none of this supply has made it to this country, but then again, we're at the mercy of a government that seems to allow so much junk to be imported, it's a miracle we dodged the bullet this time.
UPDATE...It's 54,000 sickened as of September 22, and 13,000 babies seriously ill, while the Chinese still admit to only 4 deaths. Who's kidding whom here?
What was the "additive" that has caused such illness and death? Melamine. Does that sound familiar? It should since it's the same chemical additive that was found in your pets food a short while back that killed and sickened so many pets in the exact same way...kidney failure. Now, it's happening to babies, and likely children and adults, but it seems to be centered in and only in China as far as we know.
When will anyone learn. Never ingest anything from China! If it comes from China, has ingredients from China or is formulated in China, don't drink or eat it. Sure, there may be fine products from that country, but is it worth risking life and limb for it? Remember the glycol poisoning incidents from the toothpaste recently? Also from China! They don't give a damn about poisoning a few thousand people; they have tens of millions to lose without batting an eye! Some greedy idiot makes more money by adulterating a food product to increase the values and fool a meter, and he's instantly killing kids or pets without a care. In a country with few morals and even poorer sanitation in many areas, why would you trust your health to its products.
Question what you ingest. It's your body, your life and that of your family. Read labels, ask questions and boycott products you think could be unsafe. Find out where your food comes from. If it's from south of the border, even, do they use human waste as fertilizer and do they have sanitary facilities? Bet you know the answers to that already.
You may have heard someone make an off-the-cuff remark that they were "Dieing for some Chinese food." This is NOT what they had in mind.
