I'll not post the entire article here, as it's a bit lengthy, but I'll instead provide the link with the full article. Fucking scary if you ask me.

The US needs to seriously consider changing food inspection practices, or we could be dead and nobody would know about it until it was too late.

melamine looks like nasty stuff if it can cause cancer and sterility.

The issue here is that it could get into the food we eat, not just pet food.

No, it's because they can't beat us any other way.

Sounds like the Mexicans are going to slow down the breeding a bit and beat the US at something, good for them.

They could play a game of "Which country is less morally reprehensible". To be fair, the US sucks and that game.

I doubt it comes from the Thames Water supply, like the UK version did.

The water they used wasn't the problem. The water they used was perfectly ok, then they added minerals to it and made it poisonous.

Coke making water - it's bound to be shit. Although the bottle was quite nice.

Dont forget this ingredient in diet pepsi and any other light soda !

Aspartam

Inside the body it turns into embalment fluid (not desolvable) and Methanol witch again turns into Formic acid

Scary stuff !

Nearly one billion meals eaten everyday in the United States. You will never be able to inspect every single grain of rice that makes it's way into our digestive tract. I don't think we do too bad. Every once in a awhile you might have a couple hundred people get sick off some spinach or peanut butter.

^{New rule, never mention Mexico and water supply in the same topic..lol}

For the record my water comes from Zephyrhills.

The UK had a scare not long ago. Traces of it were supposedly found in bottles of tomato juice. They were all taken off the shelf.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.
