Inexcusable! FDA betrays public trust
Have you seen this little gem?The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has decided to set a safety threshhold for melamine…in baby formula!
Folks. This is the stuff they use to make ugly plastic dishes and cheesy plastic tabletops. Used as a cheap imitation of protein in food, it poisons dogs, cats, and babies.There is no safe level for a toxic substance in baby formula!

There is just flat out no excuse for that.
