Federal agents searched facilities of a dog and cat food manufacturer and one of its suppliers as part of an investigation into the widening recall of pet products, the companies disclosed Friday.

Yay whee clap paws squeal with glee -

What I can't get my head around is WHY we're importing agricultural goods - that's one of the few industries we could, yanno, actually still dominate in globally.

I guess we're just getting really good at getting old and dying providing health care, which is the only growth industry left in the USA.

"Government won't protect you" - BAH.

Big Business will kill you, if you and I and the guy over there (ie, WE THE PEOPLE*) don't take steps to protect ourselves.

REMEMBER THE PINTO.


*Uh, that's the government, folks.

I'm going to go read a book. Several of them.

The import of agricultural goods isn't whats going on here. The Chinese import the wheat, then process the wheat glutten, that is where they excell, cheap labor. On NPR they said food processing was a big thing in China, as they had an edge on labor costs. They stated it was actually cheaper the ship the wheat to China foor processing and then bring back the finished product than do the processing here. American agribusiness at its best.

We'll have to wait til oil prices rise before we can really see a dent in Chinese processing. Right now they ship post-consumer paper to China for processing, too.
