Tainted Milk
“Greed is such an effective killer” was my first thought when I first read the news. I could not believe anyone could actually add a toxic chemical into milk, the first and primary food source of infants and young children, for profits. Albeit accusations on the corporations involved in this scandal, I would put the blame only on greed, of either the farmer or the trader who sold the milk to Sanlu… whoever was responsible of adding the melamine in the first place.
There’s no excuse for doing such a thing. The only appropriate punishment for these unethical creeps is a taste of their own poison.

It’s scary, Don’t think can trust China products anymore. The trouble is melamine is not only found in milk, but also in other products.

I do not think this is a unique problem with just China. Tainted food processing is not something new. The difference is that past occurances of profit-motivated tainting of food products have been controlled within non-lethal dosage and covered from the consumer public. (Think fast food industry and trans-fat.) This incident in China is just a mistake of adding TOO MUCH melamine.
