Why the FDA APPROVED melamine for our consumption.
On Oct. 3 2008 Bush's FDA knowingly exposed us to a melamine-laced food supply, by ruling that food products "with levels of melamine below 2.5 ppm pose little risk."
BUT just up to a week prior to Oct. 3 the FDA was producing reports that melamine was a poison and would not be allowed in food.
Why the change?
I just found a possible reason in the New York area Post-Journal of Nov. 11 2008.
Hint: has to do with the bailout.

The Gov't, poisoning its own population.
Hard to imagine, isn't it?
Stealing our money, poisoning our food, taking our jobs, taking our houses, taking our Constitutional rights, destroying the educational system, making health care re un-affordable, putting 1 in a 100 Americans in privatized prisons.
Gee, you would think the government does not like Americans.

1. I'm so glad we did it. We got ourselves a Democratic president, a good man
I don't know if I'd have stayed in the U.S. should another Repugnican have been elected.
The above primitive's one of them who promised to leave the country if George Bush were re-elected in 2004. One wonders what happened.

5th rec, and thanks for posting this
It's worth remembering now that one of the first of the Bush mis-Administration's actions was to relax arsenic standards. If for nothing else, I have to give them points for consistency.
The Jiffy peanut butter primitive, husband of the American Nana primitive, is lying, and he knows it. The Impeached One had signed the order relaxing arsenic standards just before leaving office.....to take effect after his successor came in.
Anyway, on to the main star:
The subway cat gives us a lesson a chemistry, not worth bringing over here.
And then:

91. Melamine resin
Is used in plastics too not the dishes,the melamine they are using is scrap,I think it probably has both types.And cattle are getting urea poisoning from the melamine and melamine resin in their feed.

19. they WANT alot of us DEAD
I am not shitting you.
Since fascism is expensive and messy,those who seek to "reduce surplus population" ..Will change laws quietly,dismantle consumer protections,seek to make a trade partnership with a corporate slave state full of toxins and greed , and they'll lie and switch and bait.. These pigs that call themselves the elite,with too much money power,ands time and ego..are quite content to let plausible deni-ability remove them from responsibility,they let something they know inside themselves intimately flourish in others like themselves,GREED and hubris.
They let other people do the killing FOR them..We are all expendable,we all have a price tag that declares how much we are worth..
Although it is an ancient fact of life, or rather an ancient technique, money has never ceased to surprise humanity. It seems mysterious and disturbing... It was a novelty more because of what it brought with it than what it was itself.
What did it actually bring? Sharp variations in prices of essential foodstuffs; incomprehensible relationships in which man no longer recognized either himself, his customs or his ancient values. His work became a commodity, himself a "thing."
And we know things can be used until they break or can be thrown away.

23. people just refuse to ever think those with power abuse that power.They like to pretend the abuse is dished out to"enemies" and criminals only.
Sad truth is we are being poisoned slowly.By asshole greedy people with too much money,power,and enablers around them..
Be it the government, military or corporation,they all have a part and all are complicit in creating this toxic environment,doing the damage to the food chain and harming the animals and Us.
We are all connected. We share a planet.Government gets bought off by lobbyists,shit gets into the food chain money is grabbed and we get sick.And they don't care they got theirs.They can afford products that are contaminant free.If these obscene rich pigs can afford to blow 700 million on a ****ing PAINTING,you know they do not have to get the full effects of what their toxic making corporations cause to us.
Denial in this case, is deadly.As scary as it seems and far away,it is here in our carpets,our cleaning products,the polluted streams,and in our water and food.We live in a toxic stew.Living in a toxic stew thanks to deregulation,greed and all the chemicals dumped everywhere causing pollution ,and all the so called scientists incapable of thinking outside their little specialties..we got this mess now and it is sickening us..
