Is China trying to poison Americans and their pets?

[DoctorDoom]

WASHINGTON – While Americans are still recovering from a scandal over poison pet foods imported from China, FDA inspectors report tainted food imports intended for American humans are being rejected with increasing frequency because they are filthy, are contaminated with pesticides and tainted with carcinogens, bacteria and banned drugs.

Last month, like most months, China topped the list of countries whose products were refused by the FDA – and that list includes many countries, including Mexico and Canada, who export far more food products to the U.S. than China.

Some 257 refusals of Chinese products were recorded in April. By comparison, only 140 were from Mexico and only 23 from Canada.Is China trying to poison Americans and their pets? (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=55892)

They know that if they declare war, they'll go down. However, if they can kill us at the dinner table ...

I don't know about critters, but what I do know is that this little ditty was probably not without merit.

This is exactly what I said when this story first broke about the cat food. But I think the thread I started was consigned to the conspiracy forum. But that's what it's like to live in America today: conspiracy today; accepted fact tomorrow.

Whatever. The paranoia is a tad too rampant.
"Never attribute to malice what can more easily be explained through incompetence."
They aren't trying to do anything other than make a cheap buck. They just have really poor health laws and no oversight. I'm sure the same semi-toxic garbage is served to their own people due to lax or non-existent health laws.

One would think they'd be a little more competent if they were waging some clandestine war than poisoning Rover's Alpo.

They just have really poor health laws and no oversight.Then why are we buying food from them when we're paying our own farmers not to grow food? Logic states than when we are dealing with foodstuffs, any nation that cannot meet our health standards should not be allowed to sell to us.

Ah, but then that would annoy the Chicom-loving, America-loathing liberals. Gosh golly gee willikers, why do I keep forgetting that?

It's probably in the Immigration Forum where all your posts/threads ultimately end up. Because we know that its our porus borders and the SPP pact and the NAFTA superhighway that is allowing all this Chinese food into the country.

Ah, touche. Two very valid points and I would tend to agree on both. I'm just saying that it's not a deliberate attempt to poison us as the "news article" implies.
