    ANTI DUMPING FEES!?!?!? Heck, I would want to charge them a $2000USD premium per crate, fly it over, and drop it like a bomb on their factory! How's THAT for dumping!?

    I read an article just a few days ago about how they are dumping malamine into HUMAN protein supplements! GRANTED it was almost like an ad, but they ARE doing it with animal products. they do it so cheap tests will "validate" the high protein content claims. I say "validate", because malamine LOOKS like a protein, but ISN'T one. Ironically, Human supplements often escape most scrutiny.

    Frankly, we should tell china that they can't be a most favored trading partner, because of garbage like this, so we can't discount the duties! MAYBE they will stop doing this ****AND**** prices will be higher so they will have less technology and fewer customers. And we should let foreign companies know that they will be subjected to WORSE if they are found subverting the laws.

    After all the crap we've been getting from that country, I really think it's time to
    understand that we are just that country's garbage can and quit trade with them altogether. It's almost as if they are using trade as warfare against humans in other countries. It's time for anyone anywhere that trades with that country to stop worrying about global unity and just knock trade off with them. They are just out of control.

    Wow. When Dad sat me down and talked about the birds and the bees...

    ... he didn't tell me the bees were part of a multi-national, unregulated conglomerate.

    Hmm.

    Thank God for the USDA.
