All pets were affected, 2 cats got diabetes and kidney failure, my cat named Baby just died june 1st.2007 They BOTH got diabetes and kidney failure at the same time but this happened earlier than the food recall and at times throughout the year we didn't know exactly what food must have been to blame. We switched to Innova, but on occassions fed the recalled wet food. I can't stop crying and i miss "Baby" so much. She was 14 years old. The other diabetic with kidney failure is 19, but she is doing much better. I had 5 cats, and one dog.

Who is the biggest promoter of free trade in our government? Senator Patty Murray of Washington State. Check it out on her own website. All that seems to matter to her the the huge amount of money free trade with China brings to the elite of Washington State. (Don't blame most of us WA state residents: the money does not trickle down!) And don't blame the average Chinese citizen, either. They are being poisoned, too, and their honest exporters' websites had warnings about cheap, contaminated grain proteins as far back as 2005. The ethical Chinese business people are being hurt, too, by the criminals that have taken over our foreign trade system.

I'm from Upper East Tennessee, grandfather had a farm and nursery (trees). All of the farms there are falling to urban sprawl--or, at least, what counts as urban sprawl in East Tennessee. In the summer, someone was always bringing over fresh veggies and I can still eat a vine-ripened tomato like an apple--love them. (A friend of ours once said that she hated buying zucchini at the grocery store in late summer because "it's like admitting you have no friends.") Serijna,

Gave me the impression that they are going to pay my vet bill for the death of my "little boy". Kept apologizing over and over for my loss. We'll see. I'll keep you informed if anything occurs from this call. Oh yeah it took 3 weeks for the call.

Also, just got this from my brother(internal news release within the EU commission). Another GMO tainted export from the USA(corn) in the harbor of Rotterdam, arrived April 10. Discovered by Greenpeace. Commission decided today(April 30) that it will be returned to the USA. This is the fourth one in two years. Greenpeace calls for ban on all USA agriculture imports. For some reason Greenpeace is pretty powerful in Europe. Those poor poor American farmers. Fighting Chinese cheap imports and having problems exporting their own grown stuff. Eva,
