Someone told me it was in their food, so is it also in the food we buy for our hens?

Personally, I'd like to see all these folks who are saying that there is no safety risk sit down to a three course meal made entirely of the products made from this poison......

This contamination goes much deeper than they are saying. When you look at it, we sure do eat a lot of sh*t. I was told by a pet food manufacturer that the rules governing the production of dog food are stricter than those governing the production of human food. The stuff they use in dog food ain't the best either  :o

It's hard to know if any of the ingredients went into feed production here, as most pellets use some kind of fatty acids. The pellet producers are probably inundated with emails now, but I think I'll ask!
It's just the usual criminal business, one blaming the other - are you surprised that the petrochemical company said "it wasn't meant to go in feed - they just put it in" ...I don't believe in that rate of stupidity in that kind of business, they all knew what the other was doing if you ask me. Worst is that it took 10 months for the information to get from the lab to the public, WHY??? So there was plenty of time for it to move up he food chain, damage done for a bit of profit in getting rid of toxic waste.  And it's the farmers who get the blame and are shut down. Who paid the lab to keep quiet I wonder ???  :&>

Just thought I would add add smiley on behalf of those of us who are eating home made quiche with our homebrew this lunchtime.  :farmer: We are all doing our best to avoid this rubbish and we have greater awareness of what we feed our animals than the majority.

Keep passing on the information and encouraging people to wake up.
