TOXIC MILK MOUSTACHES IN CHINA: DOING BODIES NOT SO GOOD

A crisis of epic proportions taking place in China, as a tainted milk scandal becomes worse by the day.. The latest news: Chinese authorities have urged all provinces to set up 24-hour crisis hotlines to provide everyone with information about milk; the Chinese government also ordering doctors to provide free medical care to babies that got kidney stones from contaminated milk. They may as well eat the Chinese dog food..? The milk was laced with melamine and has been blamed for killing four infants, but sickening over 6,000 more (that we know of.) Starbucks has pulled its products made with milk from its more than 300 stores.. Other nations are banning imports of Chinese milk, including Singapore, Japan, Malaysia. and Burma.. The United States is stepping up its own inspections to try to avert the tainted milk making it to America: According to the AP,
"The Food and Drug Administration has widened its inspections at ports of entry to focus on shipments of bulk food ingredients from Asia that are derived from milk, such as milk concentrate and whole milk powder. Spokeswoman Judy Leon also said the agency will issue an alert this weekend warning consumers not to buy milk products from China on the Internet."
.. Words of warning for the future: Buy a cow..
