possibally. Like the aflatoxin that affected pet food back in 2005 I think. aflatoxin can be used as a biological weapon.
http://www.slic2.wsu.edu:82/hurlbert/micro101/pages/101biologicalweapons.html#aflatoxin Pet food recall in 23 states for aflaxin toxic fungus, brand names Diamond, Country Value, and Professional
Many of the toxins are molds, spores, fungus grown on corn, wheat,grains, peanuts and other methods.....
I would like to know more about menufoods, "new supplier", who they are. Also someone who works at the plant, can slip these toxins into any vats, for animal and human consumption.
Genetically-modified BWs in the nations food supply?
http://www.slic2.wsu.edu:82/hurlbert/micro101/pages/101biologicalweapons.html This may have been a example to show how any food can be messed with. We think about biological or chemical attacks to our water supplies, but seldom to our food supply! Who knows, people could be in place now working in our food factories. Or put, aflaxin, anthrax, forms of plague, smallpox, yellow fever, forms of Ebola and botulism. A biological agent can come in several forms, including a bacteria, fungus, virus or toxin, or any contagiouns ( germ warfare ) into pet foods to infect people!

The Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 (the Bioterrorism Act) however this only works when TPTB allow it.
http://foodsafety.cas.psu.edu/Bioterror.htmlThese incidents , like 911, could have been allowed to happen, just to pass more homeland security bills. Codex wants to pass into law, ( with a few other alphabet agencies ) vitimins, herbs, total control to Codex!
NEW LAWS RESTRICTING HERBS AND VITAMINS VIA CODEX ALIMENTARIUS
http://www.consumerhealth.org/articles/display.cfm?ID=19990303190257While not officially part of the Codex Alimentarius Commission structure, the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives provides independent scientific expert advice to the Commission and its specialist Committees. FAO and WHO maintain separate websites highlighting the work of the Committee from the points of view of the two parent Organizations.
http://www.fao.org/ag/agn/jecfa/archive_en.stmBaby food recall, spinach, cantalope, peanut butter, petfood........
just a few more food tampering of human and pet food products, and bingo, codex gets their biils made into law.
Codex controls any and all Food Additives. ( wheat gluten, corn, fillers, coloring, in pet foods are food additives ) Part of the plan to control our food, and water next?
It's Not hard to see the hidden agenda, in the long run..

so what if it was deliberate, and if so by whom? Iran, China, Russia, a lone gunman?
What if it was someone who wanted to get the Bioterrorism Act of 2002 amended?

Produce industry vows better tracking of veggies
BY JANE ZHANG
Posted Wednesday, March 21, 2007
The Bioterrorism Act of 2002 requires food processors and shippers - but not growers - to keep records showing where they get their produce and to whom they sell it. But such records often fall short in helping determine the sources of contamination.

http://www.dailyherald.com/food/story.asp?id=293086&rec=fdtrackingveggies%5Bbc-wsj-trackingvegetabl%5D Tracking not only big companies, but the home gardener? Veggies go into pet food, so add this pet food recall to the list of baby food, spinach, cantalope, peanut butter, ect.

Legislation addresses critical shortage of veterinarians in public health
Congress has again taken up legislation intended to increase the number of veterinarians working in food safety, food systems, biomedical research, and other public health-related areas of practice.
Recent studies have shown dramatic shortfalls of veterinarians in key public health practice areas such as bioterrorism and emergency preparedness, environmental health, and food systems. Indeed, the nation's livestock and meat industries may be threatened in the years ahead because of a projected severe dearth of food animal veterinarians.

Expert: N.J. lacks enforcement of food safety rules
In New Jersey, where there are about 55,000 retail food establishments and about 2,500 wholesale manufacturing and processing plants, there are no state-level enforcement policies in place to insure food safety guidelines are followed.
Instead, most of the state's food safety enforcement is left to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, said Peter J. DeTroia, an environmental scientist with the state Department of Health and Senior Services Food and Drug Safety Program.
The FDA was granted more power to enforce food safety regulations with the passage of the Patriot Act and the Bioterrorism Act after terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001, he said.
Of the nearly 60,000 food-related businesses in the state, 27 are considered high priority, specifically those that distribute or manufacture milk, infant formula, soda, bottled water and juice.

Unlike the baby food recall, and all the other e coli law suits that effected humans.
tptb knew in advance this pet food was contaminated, and have the bills, and laws ready to pass after the public outcry for safety, and security......
Rat Poison from china?
A source close to the investigation tells ABC News that the rodenticide, which the source says is illegal to use in the United States, was on wheat that was imported from China and used by Menu Foods in nearly 100 brands of dog and cat food.
Watch "World News" for full details on the extent of the poisoning.
They stoped calling it rat poison, and changed it to Melamine!

The chemical is called aminopterin. the media called it rat poison after people found out aminopterin is used for cancer treatment. The media stoped reporting on the rat poison and soon went with another chemical
http://tinyurl.com/2e5rkuMy questions:
1.Why would the USA, and Canada buy wheat from China in the first place.
2.Why is China spraying wheat with the "non Military" chemical weapon agent aminopterin?
3.Connection with the stock markets?
4.Is human food also poisoned?
5. What is China's motive.
6. was this all to amend the Bioterrorism Act of 2002?
7. was this an experiment done with animals first in the treatment of cancer?

actually, that would be the opposite. So it could be something else in the tainted grains.
radiosensitization. The use of a drug that makes tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy, so the aminopterin treatment would make animals MORE sensitive to radiation fallout.

today it's Melamine, in dry pet food. What will it be tomorrow. Was something else in these imported ingredients beside chemicals? Could a virus get pass inspections, effect some animals, or mutate later to effect humans?
On March 30, the FDA announced that the chemical melamine, used in making plastics and possibly as a fertilizer in China, was found in the food and urine of affected animals. They could not confirm the role of aminopterin -- which may have been confused with folic acid. The FDA also suggested that the contaminated wheat gluten was shipped to a second, unnamed manufacturer of dry pet foods.[11]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menu_Foods------------------------
yes, but the FDA and Codex wanted more control over our food, herbs, vitamins, additives anyways. plus tptb wanted to amend the bioterrist act 2002. This pet food disaster, may have been a example to show how any food can be messed with. We think about biological or chemical attacks to our water supplies, but seldom to our food supply! Who knows, people could be in place now working in our food factories. Or put, aflaxin, anthrax, forms of plague, smallpox, yellow fever, forms of Ebola and botulism. A biological agent can come in several forms, including a bacteria, fungus, virus or toxin, or any contagiouns ( germ warfare ) into pet foods to infect people!"
It could be in the feed, yeast, wheat gluten, rice gluten, corn gluten, and all the by products. Or at least the feed fed to the fish, and hogs. It would be surprise me in the least, global bee pro patties exported bee feed ingredients from china, and bee boxes. There could have been something in it too causing the honey bee CCD.
Been doing a ton of research on my own and reading about the tainted pet food, chicken, turkey, pig, fish, ( possible bee feed ) contamination. I've also read about the pig, and fish die off in the USA, and China, now in Turkey.
Think about it, what does the pigs in china have in common with the pigs in the USA or other countries that eat pork. Animal feed, tainted animal feed. Fish to are dieing in china as well, and they also fed contaminated fish feed, like the pet food. I mentioned this in Elaine thread here about pet food .

mysterious ailment killing pigs,hemmorhagic in nature.
http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/05/07/news/pigs.phpThe ebola hemmorhagic flu type can survive in a protein rich medium. What about all the cases of freeze dried food ppl have bought from the freeze dry guy, and other survival groups, you know the ones. Could this virus have been smuggled into other countries mixed in with the vegetable protein? Or ppl set up working in food processing plants, dump in a few drops from a vile, into the vats of pet food, animal feed. If this is the case, worst case scenario, some of us could already be contaminated/infected with more then just Melamine.
