Frozen catfish from China, beans from Belgium, jalapenos from Peru, blackberries from Guatemala, baked goods from Canada, India and the Philippines — the list of tainted food detained at the border by the Food and Drug Administration stretches on.
Add to that the contaminated Chinese wheat gluten that poisoned cats and dogs nationwide and led to a massive pet food recall, and you've got a real international pickle. Does the United States have the wherewithal to ensure the food it imports is safe?
Food safety experts say no.
... folks, this is called, "public endangerment" and you can thank Congress, the FDA and the Bush Administration !

Amen tiger, The air in China is unbreathable and it goes down hill from there.
It's strange, Deuce, how similar the Dems and Repubs have become.
Dems, esp. in the Clinton admin, were known for their love of power (still are). The Repubs are known, esp. now, for their love of money, perhaps defined by Bush's "money trumps ..." statement.
The Brave New World Order of commerce is the goal now and America has to be at the top of the heap, or die trying!
... for me, it truly brings the words of Rev 17 into sharp focus;
One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters. With her the kings of the earth committed adultery and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries."
Hopefully we're not Babylon the Great but ancient Rome is, as many scholars say, nonetheless we're still becoming something I don't like!
