there's some really bad people in China poisoning babies :-( they are using something called melamine. I believe the reason they are using it is because the melamine makes it appear as though there is more protein in their milk and baby formula but I could be wrong about that. It's horrible and sick all the way around

That's really sad. It makes me think more about the stuff the Chinese have been putting in our food/products.

Are these people poisoning their own babies or other peoples babies?

I believe...and someone can correct me if I'm wrong here...the way I heard it was that the dairy company is adding the chemical to their powdered milk and selling it to the formula companys

Here's the link to some info per Wikipedia. Just be advised it is a Wiki site so some of the info could be incorrect.

Melamine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's turning up in chocolate as well. Cadbury's products are effected.

Scary stuff. There has been a really bad run of Chinese products over the past couple of years - first the pet food, then the lead in children's toys and now this poison in the dairy products.
