52 Day until Inauguration - There is no such thing as a safe level of FOREIGN matter in baby formula. The FDA has been demoralized !
Check with your pharmacist to learn which baby formula and/or baby food and/or toddler menu items have been disaffected.
There was a time in this country when the FDA actually protected people. Now we have an entire generation of young folks that will have shorter life spans than their parents because of childhood obesity and diabetes. Add to that the formala RESTRICTIONS in manufacturing has been grossly diminished. Let's face it folks, when a President of the USA reduces the acceptable levels of arsenic in drinking water, what exactly are the poor mixing for their infants and children? Anyone want to answer that?
Add to all that mess the fact that, like dog food, all the 'intended' uses of a food product, infant or otherwise isn't used for the SPECIFIED purpose in a society. So, when a toddler takes a bottle to bed, with or without the advice of a pediatrician, that toddler may very well have eaten something that when mixed with melamine in the formula will ultimately cause kidney failure or worse. Pets were enough for Georgie?
There needs to be mass protests by parents and grandparents if this level of neglect continues. The products now laced with 'acceptable' levels of MELAMINE needs to be condemned, recalled and removed from all shelves.
If a USA President doesn't care about the people of a nation as demonstrated by the very liver transplants of young children with obesity issues, then what makes ANYONE believe he cares about infant kidneys, health or life itself? Answers, I want answers. Who in Washington, DC gives a damn about kids enough to demand a re-examination of ALL policy changes since the Bush/Cheney Administration took place in January 2001? Who?
Boycott the contaminated products and do it now !!!
And about those multiple food pyramids no one seems to understand....

November 27, 2008
Disclosure that laboratory tests have detected traces of melamine and a key byproduct in several major brands of infant formula generated concern and confusion Wednesday. A consumer group and Illinois Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan demanded a Food and Drug Administration recall as the agency said it had released inaccurate information on what chemicals were found in which products.With parents calling manufacturers seeking guidance, the FDA reiterated its position that the baby food is safe, contending the extremely low levels of contamination do not present a health danger.
