• Researchers have found melamine and cyanuric acid in pet food • Scientists: Together, the two chemicals can form fatal crystals in kidneys • FDA: 17,000 consumer complaints, more than 4,000 pet deaths • FDA will begin to stop importation of some products for human food use
And it's already been starting with human food. The past few years have seen multiple tainted food epidemics that proved fatal for a number of people. This is the legacy of Ronald Reagan and deregulation. Combine that with an Administration and Congress that abandoned oversight and it's an obvious recipe for disaster. I think last November was just about this kind of stuff as it was about Iraq.

Interestingly enough? 'Crystals' in the urethric tubes were what put Toast into the hospital three years ago and the two of them on the c/d food.
