A very interesting article in today's New York Times: Filler in Animal Feed Is Open Secret in China.
For years, producers of animal feed all over China have secretly supplemented their feed with the substance, called melamine, a cheap additive that looks like protein in tests, even though it does not provide any nutritional benefits, according to melamine scrap traders and agricultural workers here.
I'm a little curious, though...if the practice of adding melamine to vegetable glutens to fake a higher protein content has been going on for years, why this sudden spike in pet-food related problems in March? Did the pet food manufacturers just start importing from China? Did somebody go from kinda greedy to extraordinarily greedy and dump too much melamine in the March batch of gluten? Was some scrap melamine contaminated with some other chemical that is more toxic?
