Germany's Tainted-Food Scandal: A Disgrace

THE DOCTOR IS IN
_____________

LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

Germany has a scandal of significant proportions . The cancer causing chemical dioxin is in their food chain. In the past people could trust Germany for safe, healthy food but now because of greed the agricultural industry used short cuts to save money while making additional profits for themselves..

The state agriculture ministry has lost control of it's farms and farmers. Their oversight is lacking. Last week millions of eggs, chickens and pigs were slaughtered because of the hazardous, dangerous and deadly chemicals in the food. Germany froze sales from 5000 farms. Why? Because the cancer causing chemical "dioxin" was present in the foods distributed by the greedy farmers and feeders. The scandal is so bad the agriculture ministry banned an additional 934 more farms for the same crimes a few days ago.

The feed producers in Germany are taking a page from the play book of the Chinese. As most people around the world can recall China tainted chickens, eggs, animals and other food products such as toothpaste, candy and fish. The tainted food caused a number of fatalities. Children and adults died from consuming it. The reason for the tainted food and products was solely for "GREED", They wanted to make more money and short changed the public by introducing poisons and dangerous chemicals into the food chain.

Now the farmers and feed processor's in Germany are doing the same thing. People, these dangerous chemicals and poisons will cause people who consume the tainted foods to experience kidney and liver problems. It also causes cancer. That's just the tip of the iceberg of what can happen to the people that eat this doctored food.

The tainted food can cause death but it appears the feed producers and farmers in Germany believe that it is a risk they are willing to take in order to reap more money in their coffers.

Germany officials say that"consumption of these goods does not pose a health risk." Really? What do you expect them to say? Are they going to honestly tell you that people are at risk? It's always about the money folks. If in fact, there were a risk to a person's health and the truth were told, everybody knows Germany would lose billions of dollars . So, like most other countries that have problems with food, medicines, and other products that endanger the public they spin a party line that there is no reason to worry and everything is rosy and great.

At the current time and until I can be assured by Germany that their food supply is safe I personally choose not eat any food items imported from Germany. For my own benefit I would rather be safe than sorry.

Where are the inspectors that are regulating the food supply in Germany? Where are the arrests of the people that intentionally tainted the food supply for the sake of greed? If this tainted food problem happened once, will it be repeated? Chances are it will since the oversight of the industry has failed miserably. Unless the farmers and feed producer's are held accountable with serious consequences I would predict that it will happen over and over. The offending farmers and feed producers should lose their ill-gotten profits and possibly their farms and business. You can bet that if they lose their livelihood other farmers and feed producers will think twice before attempting to cut corners and put the consumers in danger.

It's a disgrace that a country like Germany who always had a reputation of providing some of the best food in the world allowed it's food supply to be brought to such a low point.- And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
