Chicken Or No Chicken - That Is The Question

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

Today the FDA announced that we can eat the chicken that got feed with small amounts of contaminated pet food:

“There is very low risk to human health” from consuming the chickens, according to a synopsis of the findings released by the Agriculture Department and the Food and Drug Administration.
Even if a person were to eat the chickens for breakfast, lunch and dinner, scientists concluded, the amount of melamine consumed in one day would be 1/2,500 of the minimum dose thought capable of posing a health risk.
“In other words, it was well below any level of public health concern,” the Agriculture Department said in a statement.

Unfortunately that does not take into consideration, that one might get melamine with other foods.

But for me the bigger question is how much can one trust a Federal agency that:

has known for years about contamination problems at a Georgia peanut butter plant and on California spinach farms that led to disease outbreaks that killed three people, sickened hundreds, and forced one of the biggest product recalls in U.S. history, documents and interviews show.

Do you trust the FDA?

Will you keep on eating that chicken?
