Melamine Scare

Has been hearing this term quite a lot lately. I don't know much about this thing other than it is what my food utensils are made of. So I decided to google to find out what is the scare all about and this is what I found;

Melamine is an organic compound that is often combined with formaldehyde to produce melamine resin, a synthetic polymer which is fire resistant and heat tolerant which can then be used to make plastic, fertilizer and fire retardant foam.

Melamine itself is not toxic or dangerous and products made with melamine resins do not release the chemical and do not pose health risks, according to producers. It can be used in almost anything but not in food! Because inside the body it can cause kidney stones and renal failure.

So, why do they add melamine to milk powder? Answer;

The white powder is cheap and rich in nitrogen. When added to watered down milk it can fool quality tests that gauge milk protein levels.

What are they thinking about? Trying to reap good profits at the expense of other human. I think they are not human! Should be shot or hang! No, they should be make to consume all the products that they made! Let them taste their own medicine!

Now it seems the contamination can go down to any items that is made of some kind of milk base substance manufactured in China. Candy, chocolates, biscuits, ice-cream, etc. The latest is found in fruits and vegetables?! Wei, this is too much.

Seems like nothing is safe now, eat chicken - bird flu, eat beef - mad cow, eat mutton - hand foot mouth disease, eat pork - JE, eat seafood - high cholesterol, now eat fruits/vegies - melamine!

Wa lau eh, eat die, don't eat also die!
