Today's news : ..."The Food and Drug Administration has said the investigation into the pet deaths was focused on wheat gluten in the food. The gluten itself would not cause kidney failure, but it could have been contaminated, the FDA said.
Paul Henderson, chief executive of Menu Foods, confirmed Friday that the wheat gluten was purchased from China.
Bob Rosenberg, senior vice president of government affairs for the National Pest Management Association, said it would be unusual for the wheat to be tainted."
"It would make no sense to spray a crop itself with rodenticide," Rosenberg said, adding that grain shippers typically put bait stations around the perimeter of their storage facilities..."
So let me get this straight, we've already GUTTED our American manufacturing base so that the CEO's can make big bonuses by saving a few bucks and sending their labor offshore to China and now we're buying WHEAT GLUTEN from them, too??? And it's KILLING OUR ANIMAL COMPANIONS???
These people are bad news....their standards are NOT the same as ours, and we are becoming FAR, FAR, FAR too dependent upon them for EVERYTHING, from heavy industrial and manufacturing capacity and capability to WHEAT GLUTEN for pet food. Our reliance upon them will probably be our undoing as a nation.
They are taking us over without firing a shot, because the corporate-whores are selling us out. They are only interested in beating their next quarterly estimate, so that they can feather their nests with big bonuses, and they are selling this country down the river, inch by inch.
And no one seems to care...and now our pets are dropping dead and suffering KIDNEY FAILURE because some pet-food corporate-whore wanted to save a few bucks and pad his margins by using shitty Chinese wheat gluten....
Hey MenuFoods CEO Paul Henderson, I hope all your wealth is tied up in your company's stock, and that it continues to tank, and that you are ruined as a result. Your SHORT-SIGHTEDNESS and cost-cutting just came back to bite you squarely in your fat, white ass - you SOLD out, and your wave just closed out on you...
I grieve for the pet owners - I hope Henderson and his cronies end up broke and destitute...bastards....
