The bottom line is the U.S. government needs to find out who poisoned the pet food in the first place. What if these sick people's next step is cereal, this is what homeland security should be doing instead of tapping my telephone.

Thats BS that its from the wheat. Its from the euthanized and rendered meat of cats and dogs and any other thing that is warm blooded. The industry and federal govt would NEVER admit its from the rendered meat.

#2 & #3, Menu Foods is a Canadian company, not American. According to Wikipedia, China is the world's largest wheat producer with an annual production of appx. 96 million metric tons, compared to 57 million metric tons and 26 million metric tons in the US and Canada, respectively.

Why would people feed WHEAT to their animals anyway?

see what the free market gets you?

Hey, this is what the free market is all about. Outsourcing wheat saves costs. So what if there's a little poison? Poison puts hair on Fido's chest.

Why do we need to import wheat? I thought we had enough to feed us and then some.

Don't we have enough amber waves of grain here? The idea that we import and export so much wheat is absurd, and this is a case in point.
