I have been reading about the tainted milk scandal in China and came across the FDA's website. Apparently, there have been many cases of fake and adulterated foods in America too.

Look at the very last line--ginseng extract was actually sawdust. Blechhh! Is there anything that's real anymore?? It's not just the big food manufacturers that have done this; it's also mom-and-pop ventures, food coops too. Now I understand why people want to grow and make their own food, pet food, etc. It's just crazy.
