In other words, run like hell to throw that stuff out. If the Bush-FDA is actually issuing a warning, it’s really bad because they never lift a finger even when the evidence is overwhelming. (They still insist the Bisphenol A (BPA) bottled originally produced by Nalgene and loved by backpackers – myself included – are OK to use despite health safety departments and studies around the world suggesting the opposite.)

Wouldn’t it be nice and a bit of a crazy idea to have food that’s actually food and then regulate accordingly? Just as Bush-McCain Republicans hate regulation in the banking/finance sector, they also have fought against it with food and pharmaceuticals. Can we quit the little word games that these anti-regulation types keep playing? Their extremist right wing theories are killing the rest of us, so just move on. You failed.

U.S. regulators warned the public on Friday not to consume seven Mr. Brown instant coffee and milk tea products that were made in China because of concerns they may be contaminated with melamine. The Food and Drug Administration said the products were recalled by King Car Food Industrial Co Ltd “due to possible contamination with melamine.” Infant formula tainted with the industrial chemical has resulted in hospitalization for thousands of Chinese babies with painful kidney stones. Four have died.

Oh and over 54,000 people in China have become sick.
