This should have *legs*
Just when you thought 'bizness ethics' had hit the top of the oxymoron LIst-of-lists, you discover:
Nope.. it can get still worse.
US pet food corps have poisoned (poorly tabulated.. n-hundreds to n-thousands) of animals; people I know go to great lengths to ensure [try-to..] that
Nothing from China gets to their pet--alas, the book Food Pets Die For describes the methods by which floor-scrapings, diseased meat trims etc.
get sent to China, returned as a homogenized slurry and escape 'label' descriptions:
Called 'meat by-products', this disgusting mixture is now appearing, and in increasing percentages: often Meat By-products -now- is listed First or Second under ingredients.
(Lobbying by pet food corps allows them to escape any quantitative listings of ingredients: except the inference that 1=largest % ... on down.. to trace things with long chemical names.)

They are insatiable and incorrigible--and we ain't gonna Change them. (We've already become Like-them.)
(Never had a Chicken McNugget (or Big Mac); certainly Won't in any next. Don't have to alter a habit.)
More perhaps than we need GMO frankenfoods labelled, clearly this end-run around FDA says:
NOW People-food shall require the same scrutiny as pet food; somehow there needs to be a way to indicate to Any Supplier:
"I will buy NOTHING 'EDIBLE' FROM CHINA / nothing Not-Inspected by USDA, from any country."
Needless to add re Bloomberg's tip-off: if this ruling isn't reversed forthwith and there are not endless demonstrations until it IS: then we shall merit eating Chinese-shit.
May this evidence of universal Corporate malfeasance just turn out to be the beginning of dismantling of Vulture Capitalism, before it poisons us literally
--along with its other toxic aspects towards all of life.
(Guess the only people Murican 'processors' can get to work in their shit-factories are.. mostly illegals.)
Doubtless many here have heard what these places look like, the high incidence of worker maimings, etc.

It becomes easier daily to contemplate some sort of Vegan alternative to our National Abattoir
Seems as if every news-cycle notices something-else even more despicable than last-week's revelation.
