WTF Is It Now?!?

Absolutely fucking meaningless

A person could consume 800 pounds of meat in a single day from animals that ate feed made with tainted pet food before having any health effects from the toxins in that pet food, government scientists said yesterday.

Um, considering that anyone who attempted to eat a fraction of that amount of any substance would die, that's not too comforting. I assume it's meant to represent a potentially "scary" statistic that they want consumers to ignore.

"They're still revising their estimates of risk, and yet they're releasing this food into the food supply," said an official at Consumer's Union.

When I see the head of the FDA chowing on a big barbecued melamine-fed pig, I may reconsider the government report.
