Melamine, why I don't use it.
Apparently, no one cares about schools in buffalo, lol - e.g. last post.
Anyhow, I was reading google news this morning and I saw that 6000+ chinese babies have become ill aftre consuming formula that has the same toxic compound that killed pets when consuming chinese pet food a while back
That compound is melamine. Here is the wikipedia article
I really don't understand how it ended up in the infant formula after it was known to kill pets but it did, and now the babies are dying.
The crazier part is I noticed these really pretty hard plastic bowls and kitchen wares are showing up everywhere and are actually just called melamine bowls.
You can get them just about anywhere that has kitchen supplies and goes from fancy to more common ones at target
So my question is who uses these and why. Clearly over time, either through heat or scrapping, litle peices of melamine end up in your food.

Melamine, a white crystalline powder used in making plastics and tanning leather that was found in the infant formula, was at the heart of China's troubles last year, too.
