Only yesterday, I was saying maybe it is time to start rethinking how much "industrial" food we buy for the household humans, as well.
Well, what a difference a day makes. By way of Litbrit @ Shakes' place:
It was only a matter of time before this happened: melamine has been detected in the feed and body fluids of pigs meant for human consumption, and California authorities have issued both a quarantine and an advisory to not consume pork from at least one farm; others may follow, since the tainted feed was also shipped to New York.
Yes, it's only one farm, and one that does not resell pork, so maybe this is Not That Big A Deal. But how much more of this stuff might be out there, unreported?
This issue of where our food comes from is not going to go away soon.
