Salvaged pet food known or suspected of contamination
made it to the farms. Government says "the potential risk
to human health was said to be very low". Must read link.

3. There's good reason to be afraid when republicans are in charge.

Because the RNC runs the government, terror isn't the thing we should be REALLY afraid of...it's the republicans.

5. why worry about foreign terrorists when massive neglect is crippling America?

Thankfully Dems Durbin and DeLauro are taking action. Durbin is going to introduced a bill to give the FDA power to recall food. currently the FDA can only recall baby formula. DeLauro has told the FDA bigwigs to make changes or she won't allot them pay for the next year! Link

Hopefully this is only the first step to turn the FDA from a toothless, barkless watchdog to one alert and w/a nasty bite!

6. Yeah right

Does anyone here think the government would say anything BUT "the potential risk
to human health was said to be very low"? It wouldn't matter if the imminent elimination of the human race was a virtual certainty, these clowns would say just that.

8. Right, like the FDA did human testing with melamine

"low risk"....despicable.

9. Ditto, I too am glad that I don't eat dead pig flesh.

And Right! I believe they would tell the public that they should fear for their life. If it will kill dogs and cats how can it be that it won't hurt people.
