Pet food contamination spreads to meat consumed by humans

According to a Washington Post article, at least 2.5 million broiler chickens from an Indiana producer were fed pet food scraps contaminated with the chemical melamine and subsequently sold for human consumption, federal health officials reported from the FDA. Although the article doesn’t mention any human deaths caused by the consumption of this harmful chemical, it is still alarming. Even though I am vegetarian, it makes sense for omnivores to find meats that are organic and locally farmed that contain as few chemicals as possible or try to decrease meat consumption.
