#2 Tip of the day to the Chinese:

If the NORKs get crazy and those deadly isotopes really do hit the fan, iodine-131, strontium-90, and other radioactive contaminants can also be transferred through human milk. Buying pre-incident powdered milk really is the way to go.

#3 Back in the old days of capitalism, someone might actually take advantage of the opportunity provided here by hawking the diligence of the American Prue Food and Drug Act in providing quality products to leverage a market in China. Sort of like the quality control the Japanese were able to leverage over Detroit when it came to autos.

#4 Nestle has a couple of baby formula plants in Eau Claire Wisconsin that would gladly crank up three shifts a day to solve that problem.

Not to mention Enfamil and Semilac...Procopious2k has it right when he says the US should jump into this opportunity with both feet. Heck, we could fix the economies of at least four states with the increased demand for milk, soy, corn syrup, and white grape juice, not to mention the additional employment with these companies running knuckles to the firewall at three shifts.

#5 And a truly enterprising Chinese person could make a fortune by ripping off the labels of the Chinese formula and slapping on labels that say "Hergestellt in Deutschland"

#8 Problem with that Frank - if you get caught doing that there you will be executed.

Get caught here and the Bumbles Administration might make you the head of the Food and Drug administration.
