FDA: the “Faith-based Dining Administration”

Clever headline, no doubt, but the fact - not the prospect, the fact - that the human food supply in the United States has been tainted by poisons used deliberately by Chinese exporters in order to mask inferior product isn't funny. Nobody's been on top of it like Goldy. In no small part because of his vigilance and diligence, here's what we know…

· Tainted pet food has killed or sickened tens of thousands of cats and dogs, some dropping dead within a meal or two of first ingesting melamine and related compounds such as cyanuric acid.
· Autopsies have discovered “plasticized” cat kidneys, clogged with crystals comprised of equal parts melamine and cyanuric acid.
· Laboratory tests have have reproduced the formation of these crystals in a test tube by mixing melamine and cyanuric acid in the presence of urine.
· Tainted pet food containing melamine and cyanuric acid was “salvaged,” and sold as livestock feed, contaminating untold millions of hogs and chickens.
· About three million chickens and several hundred hogs are known to have been slaughtered, butchered and presumably eaten. At least another 20 million chickens are known to have consumed contaminated feed.
