Melamine pork?

You may want to avoid pork for a while. It appears that some of the recalled cat and dog food tainted with melamine was fed to some 6,000 pigs. Some of these pigs were then sent to the slaughterhouse and the pork from around 345 former pigs then entered the human food supply.

States with pig farms using the potentially tainted pork include California, New York, North and South Carolina, Utah, Kansas, and Oklahoma; and poultry in Missouri may also be affected. Keep in mind though that the ham you get at a deli could've come from ANY state, so you cannot say if it's safe or not. Unless you're buying locally and/or organically grown, those're probably safe.

Maybe it is time to buy a parcel of land and buy some beef cattle & chickens and feed them organically, and grow a nice victory garden.

Yet another time that I am glad to be vegetarian.
