The Chinese had better fix this fast, and wide, as it could have significant ramifications to food wholesalers and drug wholesalers in North America who are importing chinese products. That is not just a little bit of product. We are talking a good percentage of North America's food. We have seen widespread death in dogs and cats with poisons in the feed. This came from China and slipped past our checks. I have long feared the level of pesticides in Chinese food, which is the highest in world, and now I have good reason for my suspicions put on the front page.

The lack of discovery of the dog and cat food until it was too late for the pets, should send a chill up the spine of North Americans. Are we testing human food as well? Can we head off a large scale disaster to human health here? Some people may not realize it but pet food goes under just as stringent tests as human food. If this sort of thing can slip by us there, it is probably there is just as much problem and it is as insidious within our present testing programs in human food as it was with the cat and dog chow.

We had better make a consumer statement and check labels before we are sorry. We will have to wait for our governments to catch up.

I just went by a Chinese grain boat unloading in Toronto the other day. It is beginning to dawn on me. Who is inspecting this stuff? Where is it going? How do we know by labels? Is it safe? I wonder.

Glad I eat organic. Have to hew closer to that bone so to speak now. The only safety to be sure at our level is avoidance. We cannot take the word of our regulators and institutions. For my taste they fail all to often for the level or risk.

I know the world is overpopulated but I don't like this sort of easy solution to the problem.
