Subject: RE: BS: Poison pet food
My condolences to those who have already lost a pet and the many others who have to worry now about their pet's health.

I'm thinking about the rat poison "aminopterin" that was said to be found in the pet food and why it might have been incorporated in wheat imported from China. One theory would be that the Chinese mix aminopterin into their seed grain to protect it from rats and other vermin, and that somehow "seed grain" got mixed in with the grain being exported for pet food. Our grain companies often coat seed grain with poisons to protect it from insects and worms. That's another reason, of course, to buy only organic grains and vegetables. I'm wondering if Menu-Inc. is considering this theory.
