Yeah yeah, I know they said they tracked down the bad lettuce.
But now what, I know I should have paid closer attention. Dogs poisoned with dog food. I know some of the elders were rumored to serve up some cat food to each other every now and then. I sometimes wonder to myself, is this really tuna that I am loving at the time I'm gobbing it on my salad. But I don't think folks are mixing up any dog food ingredients and serving it to folks, you think?

The Food and Drug Administration has said the investigation into the pet deaths was focused on wheat gluten in the food. The gluten itself would not cause kidney failure, but it could have been contaminated, the FDA said.
Paul Henderson, chief executive of Menu Foods, confirmed Friday that the wheat gluten was purchased from China.
Bob Rosenberg, senior vice president of government affairs for the National Pest Management Association, said it would be unusual for the wheat to be tainted.
"It would make no sense to spray a crop itself with rodenticide," Rosenberg said, adding that grain shippers typically put bait stations around the perimeter of their storage facilities.
The substance in the food was identified as aminopterin, a cancer drug that once was used to induce abortions in the United States and is still used to kill rats in some other countries, state Agriculture Commissioner Patrick Hooker said.
"Any amount of this product is too much in food," Hooker said.
Did I see China.
