To allrace haters and race baiters, for once, just try to look at a problem without pointing your index finger at anyone else. Probably, considering your own attitude, using your thumb to assign partial blame would be more appropriate.

We might as well go back to the hunting gathering method of living. The women folk stays home and takes care of the home-fires, and us men can go out and kill wild game with out sticks, clubs and anything else we can get our hands...

At least we''d more healthier.....

Creating hysteria over melamine in baby formula is as absurd as the hysteria over hydrogen in dirigibles after the Hindenberg disaster. It wasn''''t really the hydrogen that burned, it was the highly flammable paint that was used on the fabric covering of the exterior skin of the Hindenberg - used because it was lighter and it saved fuel.

Sorry Grouch, hate to disagree with you on this one, but just saw a show on this very thing, not more than two days ago.
This what they said on the matter, Due to over maneuvering, which caused stress on the ship, caused a support wire to break loose and puncture Hydrogen tank no. 4. And that covering you spoke about? Actually caused static electricity to form and caused the ignition of the escaping fuel. Which in turn caused a chain reaction to the other tanks.

You were right that the covering used was lighter, and hence, saved fuel..

Gentile-Americans outnumber Jewish-Americans by about 50-to-1.

Gentiles outnumber Jews worldwide by about 400-to-1.

Gentile-Americans outnumber Jews worldwide by almost 20-to-1.

So, if Jews are controlling what goes into the food we eat, why are weak, ineffective, limp-wristed, schickerer Yocks like yourself unable to do anything about it?

So, your advice to new mothers would be:

"Don`t breast-feed your baby, because all breast milk contains detectable traces of the toxic heavy metals, lead, mercury and arsenic"

[txgrouch2007]

This whole story is a news media scare to create hysteria. Nothing more.

Translation: I love Bush. Poison in baby food is OK. Hey, its not my baby.

Up yours. This is about babies, not about your personal political agenda of Bush bashing.

Melamine in pet food, lead in toy paint, contaminated heparin, do we really need to import everything from China?

No, we don''t. But the Wal-mart crowd insists, and now they''re killing people for low prices. So it''s no surprise they''re killing our economy.

Creating hysteria over melamine in baby formula is as absurd as the hysteria over hydrogen in dirigibles after the Hindenberg disaster. It wasn''t really the hydrogen that burned, it was the highly flammable paint that was used on the fabric covering of the exterior skin of the Hindenberg - used because it was lighter and it saved fuel.

But then, the public believed the hydrogen hysteria for fifty years...

[txgrouch2007]

Nobody is intentionally adding macroscopic quantities of melamine to baby formula in the USA. The amounts detected are miniscule trace amounts due to contact with plastics and with surfaces that were cleaned with cleansers that contained melamine.

If you keep foods in plastic containers in your refrigerator, your food at home probably has more melamine than this baby formula.

The baby formula probably picks up more melamine from contact with plastic baby bottles and soft plastic baby bottle nipples.

This is nothing but a journalistic scare designed to create hysteria and sell more news.

[juwboy]

The infant formula in China contained 10,000 ppm of melamine i.e. 1%.

The products that are the subject of this report contained less than 1 ppm of melamine, so the situations are not comparable and the products are probably safe.

It is not possible to remove all traces of toxic substances from food, either raw or prepared. All food contains detectable traces of lead, mercury and arsenic, for example.

God gave mother''s the perfect food for their babies, it is called breast milk. Granted there are a few who can not breast feed. But there are a lot who don''t even try for selfish reasons. The further we get away from nature the worse off we are and the more at risk we put our children

Sounds muck like what the EPA was saying about the safety of the air in NYC after 9-11.

Do you trust these government agencies? Well do ya?

I don''t.

[farkusa]

Idiot+ pjs0100, it does not mean just because it is made in US it is SAFE, look up the history and why FDA was set up ... There are equal number and higher percentage of businessmen in the USA will kill for money .. asked the drug dealers

[Re: kjgp1
You idiot, these are made in U.S]
I don''t generally call people an idiot but you my friend are not only an idiot but uninformed. Do you not know what a precursor ingredient is? I think kjgp1 made an excellent point and asked a question that needs to be answered. Let me educate you on something, just because it is made in the US does not mean that all parts or ingredients were produced in the US. Please educate yourself before you go name calling, you IDIOT!

I don''t believe anything these liars say. All they want is for the cash to flow.

If my watchdog stopped protecting my home, I would buy another watchdog. If the FDA can''t fulfill it''s purpose, then it needs reorganization, restructure, whatever is necessary to do its job and protect the American consumer. What company (or companies) are the providers of the remaining 10% of baby formulas? Are their formulas safe? If so, reward them with the 90% profit that the top companies are reaping with their tainted goods. Watchdog organizations shouldn''t need a Freedom of Information Act request to do their job. Someone call a vet. Our watchdog is sick.

[kjgp1-2009]

Would be interesting to know how many of the precursor ingredients were imported from China.

Melamine in pet food, lead in toy paint, contaminated heparin, do we really need to import everything from China?

[lila356]

The FDA is a joke. They are paid off by the Pharmaceutical Industry and the Chemical Manufacturer''s which are just about the same. Why else have they NOT acted. They never report who is doing what or what companies are responsible for any violations, have you noticed? It is horrible that we live in a country that will not take steps to control this type of thing. They want to make us believe they care about us and use our tax dollars to protect us. BS. It''s all lies. The corruption is rampant in our government and it''s agencies.
