And we can sprinkle that 'safe serving' of melamine with mercury and

My daughter had to give birth by c-section last Monday and the baby

was temporarily admitted into the NICU. When my son-in-law went in to

see his daughter, the Nestle's formula rep was there scripting what

the NICU nurse should say to parents if they have questions. Bad

enough that children are dying, but as soon as it's found in our own

home (US) brand, suddenly there's a safe level that wonderfully Nestle

is well below. Last I checked, since melamine was not part of the

normal food supply ever before, it was never tested for a minimum safe

level. Heck, we've been using melamine dinnerware for eons and never

heard of an issue until the China problems.

But since our FDA is a wholly owned subsidiary of Big Industry, it's

not surprising that they would make sure that the industry is

protected over the citizens. What amazes me is, if they kill of their

customers, won't they lose in the long run?

Kind regards,
