Tainted Milk...

For the past few days, there have been quite a ruckus regarding the tainted milk from China. Thousands of children in China have been affected and it is causing a global scare. Being the largest and most populous nation, they churn out too much cheap site that everyone else is buying, that's why there's a global scare.

The tainted products include milk, candies, ice-creams, cakes, and all dairy products. Suddenly, everything is so unsafe. My parents made me throw away a tub of ice-cream Angela bought the other day because there have been reports that Hong Kong was affected by that brand of dairy products.

All this panic just because of some nincompoops in China. It was no accident. Those culprits knew about the melamine in the products. Just for a little money, they did something this irrational. I cannot think of any good reasons why melamine was added.

What they did was really uncalled for. The worst part is, the consumers of their products are young infants and children. That's so inhumane. The innocent children's young bodies are too weak to take in crap like that. Their immune systems just ain't strong enough.

Why would they wanna do such a thing? To cut cost? They don't lack labour due to their population and their production costs are already so low. Even though other countries are importing their products at very low prices, with such low production costs, they should be already earning quite a substantial amount of profit. So why turn to such petty tricks to cut corners?

With their population and resources, people are saying they can become a global superpower in a few years, and they should, but with cases like this holding them back, it's a tough road up. Consumer confidence will require quite some time to be rebuilt.
