China Tainted Milk

-
The deliberate contamination of milk in China has now spread from just baby formula to 3 out of 4 of the major companies producing milk for human consumption.

What has been happening is simple greed, mixed with a lack of effective governmental regulation.

If you water down the milk it increases your profits. But to fool the tests so that you don’t get caught you need to add some of the industrial chemical melamine to the milk. Just plain old simple greed.

Of course melamine gives lots of babies and people kidney stones, and in fact kills people. But shucks, who cares? Profits are up this quarter.

One couldn’t have designed a more effective terrorist plot if one had tried. The lesson to be learned: Deregulation = No Regulation = Greed Rules!
