A man working at a dog food company in China put Anti-Freeze into the dog food. They had found out today and beheaded him.

Quick note: be careful that you don’t confuse “one molecule away” with being “the same” as the related substance… remember, methamphetamine can be made by chemically removing the oxygen molecule from pseudoephedrine, if I’m remembering my documentary days accurately. The difference is: while one is safe when used properly (such as in menthol inhalers) and is available for sale in nearly every grocery store and gas station in America, the other is literally one of the most addictive and deadly street drugs in the world.
You can add a lot of unnecessary stigma to an object or idea that way… though don’t assume I’m standing up for the use of any of the revolting contaminants that are used so haphazardly in production…

Also worth noting may be the recent incidences of unauthorized genetically-modified crops making their way into the UK- again in from China, or the Netherlands as a by-way for China. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if GM organisms were found in the SA corn gluten, or even in all the melamine-cyanuric-contaminated pet foods…

Also worth noting are the living conditions of the animals that supposedly “show no adverse affects” when fed up to 10% glycerin in the above noted tests… how the he** do you identify “adverse effects” in any animal kept in a battery brooder??? That’s like testing running shoes on a fat guy in a wheelchair!!!! Who’s the hack running these “research” facilities anyway??

TC, I think we can grow anise, I wouldn’t eat any more of those seeds either, but you might try planting some to grow your own! If they won’t grow, they’ve probably been irradiated.

I really think we need to be growing anything we can, we sure can’t count on our gov’t to protect us anymore.

Can someone remind me how civil disobedience works? I think we can calculate how much of our tax dollar goes to finance FDA (or whatever) and we can refuse to pay that….

I don’t know where else to put it. But I make biscotti. Recently I switched to using a bulk supplier for the anise seed and ever since, whenever I eat it, I bloat badly. Did an experiment this morning having made it without the anise seed. Stomach is normal.

I went to the website, because they used to show where their stock came from. But maybe a coincidence, but I can’t pull up the anise seed origin. I am tossing it in the trash, as some of their stock was coming from China. I recalled that was the origin for the anise seed. But that was before the recall, and my new awareness of the fact that I need to be looking out for my family, because no one else is.

This was my fault. The anise was FAR cheaper here than anywere else online. When it came, it had more stemmy material as well. Not buying from a place who does business as China does means I need to not be such a cheapskate.

Sinbad’s Mom - thank you so much for posting that blurb re the use of glycerin for poultry.

It sure tied up some loose ends, didn’t it? Recap - FDA warning re fake glycerin, the NY Times article, the need for the EPA to also be involved in the chicken quarantine, and glycerin used as a feed additive for chickens. At least it is some insight into some of the things they may be freaking out about.

Dh and I have been discussing this all morning.

Patty L,

The 7 page NY Times article blew my mind! I cannot believe that the Chinese gov refused to prosecute or investigate because they don’t regulate stuff that is to be exported (that’s what I got from reading the article). That a tailor with a 9th grade education could make something so illegal (and deadly) and have it shipped around the world and made into cough syrup and kill so many people is insane!
I’m afraid to take aspirin or vitamins now! Where do the medicines in my cabinet actually come from? China? I’m surprised we aren’t all already dead!

If you don’t want to risk being poisoned, AVOID ALL CHEMICAL SUPPLEMENTS AND PROCESSED FOODS.

Buy only whole foods for your pet and yourself. Buy only US organic meats, vegetables, fruits and grains. Look for organic, whole foods supplements. You and your pets will live a much longer healthier life if you do.

The Organic Consumers Association is an excellent place to start if you want to learn about organics.
http://www.organicconsumers.org/
The OCA deals with crucial issues of food safety, industrial agriculture, genetic engineering, children’s health, corporate accountability, Fair Trade, environmental sustainability and other key topics.

Question, I mix propyl glycol with i vermec for monthly heartworm protection and prevention in my six dogs.

Is propyl glycol also a toxin??

Been doing it for many a year,

Also we use it to heartworm dogs who are negative awaiting adoption at the shetler

For right now I’d like 3 things DONE.

1. STOP All manufacturing of pet food {yeah I know tough one huh}

2. DUMP All existing PET Foods in a Pit and Burn it {possibly a way to get rid of the contaminants? They did that with the bad spinac to it was a Bio- contaminant then}

3. STOP ALL Imports IN from CHINA NOW!

For me nothing less would work.

This has gone Beyond the INSANE Piece-meal Recall work. The Whole shootin’ Match needs to be Scrubbed!

I think THIS confirms a Cover-up. They’ven been hiding this {part} for weeks. The Public would FREAK!

And then——Force their Hands to DO Something NOW!
