What a friggin' nightmare 

Itchmo reports that a second company has imported tainted rice protein from China. The FDA, in their infinite stupidity, refuse to name the companies that either import or use (tainted) imported rice and wheat protein from China. Nor have they banned all rice/corn/wheat protein imports from China.

Funny, when they suspected mad cow from a Canadian cow, they stopped the import of Canadian beef fast enough. Shows how much power the cattle lobby and the import lobby wield in government.

Maybe it's time for us parents of furry children to raise some serious hell and demand that our representatives MAKE the FDA hold businesses accountable for the poison they're putting in our pets' food (and, no doubt, in our food).
