		<description>At least Lou Dobbs is covering it on CNN.  Finally someone at CNN is giving it some attention on CNN not just a 15 second blurb.</description>

		<description>Old Mother Hubbard&#039;s site seems to be running just fine now..they are still saying their food is absolutely safe, does not contain wheat gluten, is not involved with the recall.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been reading this site all along and the article linked here just scared me even more. My hubby is in military and we are in the Netherlands.  I was thinking if I bought dog food here for our new puppy (who isn&#039;t even old enough to leave his mom yet) we&#039;d be safe. After that article I&#039;m a little worried.</description>

		<description>From the International Herald Tribune

http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/04/02/asia/AS-GEN-China-US-Pet-Food-Recall.php 

Here&#039;s an excerpt:

&quot;Geng Xiujuan, Xuzhou Anying&#039;s sales manager, said the company was aware of the notice and was looking into the accusation that large concentrations of melamine had been found in its wheat gluten, a protein source used as an ingredient in the pet food.

However, Geng said the company based in the eastern province of Jiangsu had not manufactured the gluten but had instead bought it from companies in neighboring provinces. She said Xuzhou Anying sold it onward to another Jiangsu company, Suzhou Textile Import and Export Co.

&quot;There are many other exporters and I don&#039;t see why they would just blame us,&quot; Geng said. However, &quot;We are doing the self inspection now,&quot; she said, adding it was too early to announce any results.&quot;</description>

		<description>Thanks for this spot Gina

I&#039;ve emailed my Member of Parliament and our Foods Standards Agency (our equivalent of the FDA)in case no-one else tells them about this poison.

I just hope it doesn&#039;t happen here</description>

		<description>I want to go to China to beat some ass, I may not come back alive however.

We reap what we sow, too bad the citizens don&#039;t have any say anymore.

As far as I am concerned it&#039;s us against coprorations who want to turn a profit no matter who gets hurt.</description>

		<description>This is from 2003.  China making spring wheat ready for human consumption -- &amp; in our cereal.

http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/200303/04/eng20030304_112687.shtml

On these two websites they are writing about the China soil contamination causing poisoned food....

http://www.chinadialogue.net/article/show/single/en/724-Facing-up-to-invisible-pollution-

http://english.gov.cn/2006-07/18/content_339294.htm

They have a 5 year study going on.... by then, everyone eating food from China will be dead or have deformed kiddos.

I&#039;ll bet the wheat was grown on some big dumping ground or there was runoff from a plastics mill.

sickening!!!</description>

		<description>And just as an &quot;aside&quot;, for those of us who feel like we have had the ever-loving shit kicked out of us for quite some time, can people use their ALL CAPS with some restraint.  WE are not the enemy here.

Thank you.



As has been repeatedly stated:

YOU ARE PREACHING TO THE CHOIR.

Again, the very sweetest dreams to those with broken hearts.

The courage of a lion to those still fighting.

Tomorrow is a new day.</description>

		<description>My Darlings,

I have scraped myself off of the pavement to talk with you one more time tonight.

We are the choir.  No need to preach.  I am a minister&#039;s child, so know of what I speak.

That being said, dear friends, our beloved 4 legged companions are feeling the cosmic brunt of it all.  Be strong and brave.  For them if not for yourself.

There is no panacea, but I offer this to those who know of what I refer, as we, in our house, saw significant change today based on it, all Bach:

Clematis
Gorse
Mimulus
Rock Rose
Star of Bethlehem
Sweet Chestnut
White Chestnut


SHARE with your neighbor/friend, as they are dear in price.  It works for cats AND dogs.  Our darling four-legged animals are not idiots.  They feel the great, staggering loss around them, in the U.S. and beyond.

I know there are thousands of essences out there, none of which are a cure to poisoning, but can help immensely with mental status and these worked today for our beloved felines, after days of hopelessness.

If you don&#039;t know what I am talking about, look it up.  xxoo</description>
