GREED’S GONNA KILL US ALL

If pregnant women are not allowed to work on the case, than we have to worry about our babies and pregnant families and friends. This melamine is toxic stuff, I hear.

“The scary thing is that sheep are Ruminants that are better able to break down ingredients without bad side effects..yet look at the 1966 study..they DIED!!!”

Thanks for the education about sheep. I was thinking that just because sheep are 150-200 lbs., that isn’t enough to indicate it could be toxic to humans. But your info is great and makes that study all the more important.

“Today’s passage of this historic legislation will begin to make that possible, as long as Bush doesn’t veto the bill.”

To guarantee passage, the word ‘war’ should of been inserted somewhere in the bill.

Oh, the highlighted addresses threw me off to just automatically think they were links.

I’m trying to get housework done and keep up with the blog too.

Thank you for your work in compiling that great list!

This is the best news I have heard in the past 2 months.

Now we have to hope & pray this does not get vetoed.

According to my Backwards Bush keychain, our fearless leader still has 719 days left in office…

It’s probably not your fault that you don’t know since no one in blogs or on TV — only newspapers — has featured this breaking news: That today the Senate passed, nearly unanimously, the FDA Revitalization Act, which included Sen. Dick Durbin’s food safety amendment.

This is critically important legislation that greatly empowers the FDA, and gives it far more funding to do its job.

It’s one thing to blame the FDA, but it’s another to recognize that the FDA can’t begin to do its job without more funding and far more staffing. Today’s passage of this historic legislation will begin to make that possible, as long as Bush doesn’t veto the bill.

Durbin’s next step is to get his Food Safety Act passed. But he added the Food Safety amendment to the newly passed FDA Revitalization Act as an emergency measure to give the FDA more funding.

The FDA has been systematically starved of funding by Bush. And Bush has appointed leadership to the FDA that is too much in bed with big business … the latter problem won’t be cured until 2009 with a new administration that is more consumer-friendly.

For background on the FDA’s funding woes, listen to this terrific program featuring a former FDA commissioner and Rep. Bart Stupak, who led the recent House hearing.

It’s not even Friday yet & all this is coming to light.
I’m afraid to even contemplate what may be still to come before the weekend…
