The recent news about melamine found in China vegetables bring back memories of a remark made by my son about 2 weeks ago, during the peak of the China diary product recall because of melamine found in China diary product.

My son asked me if it’s possible that the melamine didn’t come from additive to the milk and diary products but came from the grass and feed the diary cows feed on. He told me that he thought up the question himself, anyway, told him it was a good question, possible and the question keeps going through my mind…

The latest unexpected twist in a scandal now came from news of South Korean authorities saying that they had detected a high level of melamine in Chinese vegetables. The report did not give details on how contamination could have happened, but South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported on Friday that pesticide was likely to be blamed.

With this news, told my son there could be some connection in his thoughts about the possibility of cows feeding on contaminated feed that bring about the melamine contaminated milk and diary products.
