Why is the FDA acting like the appearance of contaminated basic food products is only a threat to the pet food chain, when these products are also used in the human food chain?
What protections are in place to prevent unexpected (not specifically looked for) contaminants in basic food ingredients, especially ones purchased from overseas?
Apparently melamine, a suspect in the pet food case, might be used to elevate the apparent food content of gluten and thereby raise its price in the marketplace. If food scam artists can do this as easily as it appears they might …. what is to prevent terrorists from using something like melamine foam (a rather benign material, aka Mister Clean Magic Eraser) as a carrier for more deadly toxins?
When George Bush talks about the terrorists “following us home” why hasn’t he built a DHS that actually provides some security for basic things?
Why can’t the Red Cross/Red Crescent talk about all of the Iraqis who aren’t suffering from malnutrition, unemployment, displacement, loss of their homes, loss of infrastructure, loss of life and limb?

Because DHS was only for “Show and Tell”? Show and Tell is over now, cake and ice cream for the Iraq Victory is what we’re working on now.
