Drugs in Pigs = Sick People!

Banned drugs for pigs and human found in 4 million pounds of pork in China. How much did they miss - not known. How did it pass into system - smile (money, money, money).



US importing more and more food from all over the world - who's checking the checkers - Is food safety up for cutting in Congress. Why are we importing green beans from Guatemala, Strawberries from Chile, Pork and chicken from China. Is this how Wal-Mart has become leader in grocery sales buying cheap and questionably safe food, while helping to drive US farmers out of business?



Oh well - who cares - price is the only thing and I "hope" that I and my kids don't get too sick?
