The Manchurian Can of Food
Cheap Chinese food comes at a price, for both pets and people. Earlier this year, chow for Fido was found to contain Chinese wheat gluten contaminated with melamine, a chemical used to make plastics and fertilizer, and ultimately was linked to 14 animal deaths in the United States. More than 150 brands of pet food were recalled, and human food from China had problems of its own. The U.S. later banned five types of Chinese fish and shrimp, citing tainted animal feed. Even nonfood items, such as Chinese cough syrup and toothpaste, were allegedly spiked with an antifreeze ingredient. The scares prompted California-based grocer Trader Joe’s to announce it will phase out single-ingredient foods from China by 2008. Meanwhile, many consumers opted to make their own dog food.
You know what? Who cares whether he caught the fucking fish or not! As far as I'm concerned he as a Chef is brilliant.

Wild salmon are being threatened in a more fundamental way than 'grain barges on the Snake' (a threat that I, a denizen of the Columbia and friend to fisherfolk have never heard mentioned). There are big out-of-state energy speculators who are about to build out heavy industrial sites in the delicate estuaries where the salmoids live. Once the baby salmon have to cope with the initial dredging; the heated, treated water being spewed into their nursery; or being sucked into the ballast water for LNG shipments, what happens upriver won't matter one bit.
btw, the day-to-day fight over wild salmon happens in meetings where commercial fishers and sport fishers are set up to fight each other for a dwindling allowed catch while the endangered, protected sea lions eat all the salmon they can get their flippers on and the energy carpetbaggers smile and pay for the right to kill lots of salmon babies. That's where the fish fight is.
The FDA actually got 34,000 comments in support of the current higher standards of chocolate. The current word is that the FDA has rejected the "safe and suitable substitutions" of vegetable fats portion of GMA proposal as it was based on the false assumption that "consumers had formed no expectations." (34,000 comments proved that we did have some expectations about what was in our food.)
