As my stomach churns

The FDA released the 20 million chickens that they were holding back into the food chain.It was discovered that the chickens were fed food "enriched" with melamine, but be reassured, ( I am not!) we are all safe says the FDA.

We, the public, never did find out who fed the tainted feed, or what happened to the feed, or where the chickens are now.

Your freezer?
Mine?
A fast food drive through window that I "used" to take the kids through?

We don't even know if the chickens continue to eat the melamine laced food, or how the feed is being disposed of. There have been conflicting reports on which farms got the feed. Don't know about you, but I am buying my food from local organic farms from now on, and we are growing own vegetables as well.

Oh and by the way, these tainted chickens may even be making their way back to your pets food - if they haven't already!

As Pet Connection said over the weekend. "Tastes like Melamine".
Here is the scoop from Rueters.
