well here we go again another food recall this time its beef last time it was pet food it is apparent that the government cannot protect us from contaminated foods. It has become complacent with status quo. and lets companies regulate them- selves when is enough, enough how many have to get sick or die before the politicians get off their lazy asses and protect the foods we eat

Run your mouse over to my Blog, and click on the topic titled "Got Meat?" or on "Got Meat? | Update"; then on "Got Meat".

I have a link to a video you really have to see.
I'm trying to change my habits myself to reduce the amount of meat I eat as much as possible; I'm chaning over time.
As a matter of fact, I just bought a pack of 3 1/2-gallon jugs of organic soy based milk from Costco. I never usually eat meat more than once a day. I'm working hard to reduce it a lot more. Kinda hard sometimes, since I drive for a profession.

Ever get the feeling we are going to hell in a handbasket? Everything seems to be getting out of control. If you seen how these cattle, chickens, pigs, whatever lived you wouldn't eat anything with meat in it. Corporation food chain at its best, UGH, where is the government inspection and oversight?

Cheap and fast-keep the profits coming in. I wonder if the beef came from china or somewhere else. I do not eat much meat because it is gross. It taste like eating a big chunk of fat.
To save money I bet they are feeding the livestock their own feces.

Already changed my diet a long time ago, but have an idea. Why not start serving the artery clogging stuff to all of the indifferent neocons at a greatly reduced price.

I've rented an old school bus and I'm heading out to Missouri today. Ima load that bus down with cheap meat I seen advertised on eBay and head back for L.A. Look for me downtown. I'll be selling beef for around 75 cents a pound this weekend.

Following the link provided to the FDA site, we see that the addition of the melamine to the food sold in the United States as it was for the cat food is considered a minimal risk. What SHOULD have happened is a ban on the food from China and endictments to those who brought it into the United States (no excuese, no..I didn't ask and no one would tell, just jail time).
However the "protection of American soil is now in the hands of the highest bidders, and the FDA has been adulterated by the the same cast of characters that would bring the ports under the control of arab countries, open the southern boarder to unlimited and uncontrolled trucking traffic, and has sold our American jobs to interests that pay high bribary premiums.

vel4640 - I think you need serious counseling in sarcasm - of course I know E.coli is in vegetables - it was a reference to the recent E.coli epidemic caused by tainted spinach - don't you ever check the real news?

In answer to some previous postings - China is not a beef producer or beef exporter to the US - as far as big beefers eating their own feces - the only beefy feces eaters I know work in Washington at the public's expense
