		<description>25% by weight?

Let me repeat that for effect...

25 percent by weight!

I said at the time that this was NOT a simple contamination event which was the word being pushed at the time.  Search up the old blogs if you want to check on my posts but that is what I said.

25% by weight or 25% by volume is not some floor sweeping Janitory accidentally "contaminating" a batch.  25% is willful substitution of chemical crap for food.

It was an out and out substitution of product because thats what Anying made and that is what they advertized and that is what they sold and that is what they delivered.

It is after all called "Chem" Nutra.  What part about "Chem" do we not understand?

NPN, Nadine.  That's what you posted and thats what I zeroed in on and that is what this stuff is.  Non Protien Nitrogen.  And that is what killed my Brandy.  

No, this was no accident.  It was pure lousey stinking greed.

I think that it is appropriate here in a dog blog that I attribute the this word to the people at Chem Nutra and Menu Foods...

BASTARDS!</description>

		<description>Great thought, and that didn't even occur to me. I'm going to remember to check out the second-hand stores ... and craig's list, too. Also Freecycle!</description>

		<description>Gina -- 

Remember, "reuse" is just as "green' as "buying American new" -- I bet you could get some great clothespins at a local thrift store.

The Goodwill store and the local hospital thrift store are my first stops for "basics" -- if they don't have what I need, them I move on to "buying new."</description>

		<description>Geez, why did they leave out Colorado in the recall.  The docs here could shore up their practices with all the people who get sick from tainted, should have been withdrawn, beef.

I guess they didn't send any of that stuff here.
Mama mia, my cats can have the beef for now!</description>

		<description>WHAT??!!, there are still recalls? I thought "recall" had been "RETIRED" in favor of
"voluntary product withdrawal" or "stealth recall" or "reformulated improved poison" or just "all new, all natural" advertising supporting a new package design.


What the heck is wrong with the meat industry?
They can kill just as many people with tainted goods as the pet food industry kills,and get away with it, just like the pet food industry did, they just need to use the FDA cover up system and keep lying about the death toll, very simple. Very effective.

Since any number of illnesses or deaths of humans or pets can be, and are, routinely lied about by the FDA, I fail to see the problem.

This beef recall won't kill enough people to matter. Or change a thing. And better get used to it, no number of dead pets is ever going to matter, or change a thing.
Several hundred thousand dead pets in 2004 did not matter. 300 thousand dead pets in 2007 and over half a million suffering damage did not matter and I tremble at the death toll it is going to take to make it matter.

Over a million dead pets, left to rot in full view, might do it. Or a few dead kids that snack on a handful of euthanasia brand kibble.
Whichever comes first.</description>

		<description>Yep. Times change, sometimes for the better, but too often not! 

I couldn't believe how hard a time I had finding clothespins that weren't made in China! (I'm putting out my wash sometimes now, part of my "&lt;a href="http://ourgreencommunity.org/livegreenly/" rel="nofollow"&gt;Year of Living Greenly&lt;/a&gt;" effort.</description>

		<description>Many years ago I was surprised when a few items were "Made in China"

Now, "Made in America" label or printing is what amazes my brain.

I enjoyed the story about the woman trying to buy all American goods.</description>
