I am pretty bothered by this China poison in pet foods

I am pretty mad at American Companies continually buying crap from China. This is totally out of hand. This pet food recall is just one example as to why I am furious. Why are companies buying Wheat Gluten from China? Scratch that, I know why to save a few bucks. So in the process they can poison millions of animals along the way. Way to go GREEDY American companies. We get what we pay for huh? Which is garbage.

Sorry guys, I am pretty tired of this practice. It just sort of gets me. Now all the corporations are putting into play their damage control speaches and press releases trying to reassure Americans that they are voluntarily removing these products because they care about our pets and the quality of their products. Yeah right. If you cared about the quality of your products you would be buying Wheat products right here in your own backyard and would be supporting American farmers. Instead all they care about is the bottom line.

Now there is talk about Food grade wheat gluten being contaminated.

I am just in one of those moods today.

Yep I completely agree. Heck, look at the Chrysler, Ford and GMC...
They did it to themselves there is very few if any cars being made in the USA. They layed everyone off and moved their plants to mexico they get what they get oh yeah they also got awesome tax credits to do it.
I have Quit wal- mart (but my wife hasn't) I'm trying to do my part!
If we keep out sourcing all our American made products to third world country's what do we have left here? What does the united states lead the world in production? What do you do for a living? Is your job going to china or south America or Mexico? This is ruining my local economy all our manufacturing jobs local retailers and grocery stores are closing. Why? Because of cheap labor in the third world. Wal-mart is leading the charge. I have job security so to speak. I work at the penitentiary and we have a good supply of bodies that have turned to crime. Instead of the American dream.
Point taken. Lets agree to disagree and not get into a pissing match. Drew
