Melamine Found In US Hog PopulationBy DrAbuelo(2,637) If you think that the tens of thousands of pet food products that were found to contain melamine, a chemical used in fertilizers and plastic kitchenware was disposed of, think again. A recent discovery has found that many of the recalled foods were feed to hogs and chickens on corporate farms in six states. Hundreds of pigs have tested positive for the chemical. It is unclear if any of the contaminated animals have made their way on the dinner table. The troubling problem is that the US animal testing regulations are rather relaxed compared to most other industrial nations. The sad fact is, FDA demands on farm testing became less demanding during the mad cow disease scare according so several sources. The question here is how did these products get into our food supply and who allowed it? When we take a look at the mad cow disease scare a few years ago, we can see a complete lack of oversight concerning the blood meal that had been to feed to cows. Most of the meal was made up of fellow bovine which them selves were extremely sick or suffered from neurological disease. Had it not been for the uncovering of the issue by Ophera Winfrey, the vast majority of American’s would still be eating contaminated beef. What’s even more troubling is how they now check for infected cattle less cows are tested for mcd. The FDA still hasn’t held anyone liable for cases in which American citizens had been severally injured from the tainted meat. . The FDA should figure out why these recalled pet foods were not dumped or incinerated. Other wise we must consider them complicit in the illegal feeding of a known dangerous toxin to the nations hog population.
