Would you like urine, skin or melamine in your milk?
I'm sure you've heard the news story about the melamine being found in baby formula in China. Very sad. They're now saying 53,000 children have been sickened from the addition of the plastic melemine to the milk which, somehow, increases the protein level.
This would be the same melemine that killed many pets in the USA when it was added to dog food from china. Quote:
Another article indicated that the problem is not just in the formula, but in liquid milk and it's spread outside of china in other products that contain dairy ingredients. I'm thinking now is a good time to check food labels and avoid things from China whether they have dairy or not. Sounds like they were allowed to add urine and skin because it was organic. I realize that this is probably where I start to learn about all the icky things that are in the food I eat everyday and terribly grossed out by it. Let's hope our food supply is on better ground then China's seems to be though. Nestle was mentioned in the article as well - but they commented they are very sure their products are safe. http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapc...rss_topstories |
There is so much crap that goes into both food and cosmetics in the US, let alone products that are imported from China. The pet food scare had me doing a lot of research about pet food and, more recently, I have been doing lots of research about what goes into to skincare. One of the most common ingredients are animal by-products that come from rendering plants. Rendering plants take dead animals - road kill, diseased farm animals, euthanized dogs and cats, etc - put them in a big cooking pot and process them down to a "valuable" substance that is used in most American cosmetics. It's gross. You can read a bit more here, if you can stomach it.
I've become more and more wary about what I put in my body and what goes on my skin (because, what goes on my skin just gets absorbed into my body). I recently threw away all kinds of beauty products because of their contents. |
I'm so glad my dog (well, technically my ex's) eats better than I do.
He used to have slight gastro problems, so she started cooking for him every night. Chicken and rice most nights, with some chopped up veggies, and some oil for his coat, and some vitamin powder. Seriously, the dog has a better dinner than I do, 9 times out of 10. And she's a lifelong vegetarian, so that dog better appreciate her cooking chicken for him. But he's got health problems now (he's old) ... and I'm glad plastic in his pet food isnt' going to be one of them. FVCK THE CHINESE. How much more evidence of Evil do we need before we shun their entire messed up society?? |
If there's been urine and skin in the milk I've been drinking then on taste grounds I apparently don't care.
In fact, it has tasted pretty good. So maybe I'd like more urine and skin in my milk. |
2% skin milk.
(I'd only like urine in my apple juice, please) |
I thought that was pulp in my 2% skin milk.

Sorry; a coworker and I are constantly pulling bad puns to alleviate the insanity that is our workplace. |
That wasn't just bad but you must also have pulled your shoulder out of its socket reaching for it.
Though I'm curious why you decided now is the time to start apologizing. |
Yes.
Oh, that was a rhetorical question wasn't it. and...EWWWWWW. Helen, interesting article however I shall never give up my precious Retin A. Never. :D |
And it spreads to Austrailia and the US as well.

I would be suspect of anything that came from China that had milk in it. Luckily it's not likely I will be buying anything like that. I am upset at the company and Chinese government who left this to go so long when they knew there was a problem. |
