Another Tainted Food Scandal Hitting China

It is beginning to get almost as common as a sunrise. You wake up and you start hearing about the latest scandal in China involving some manufacturer of something using a chemical they know is harmful and they cant use but doing it anyway because its cheaper than using the real thing and taking their eyes off the fact that they are going to kill people and not caring about that. The latest scandal involves 22 companies that produce food products such as milk, yogurt, and baby food. Over 6000 children have become sick and needed hospitalization and so far 3 have died in China after consuming milk that was contaminated with a substance called Melamine which is actually a type of plastic compound. Under some tests Melamine will actually show up as protein and investigators suspect that the reason it was used by the manufacturers was to make their product appear to have more nutrition than it actually does.
