Let them eat nothing??? US burns food while survivors go hungry.

The Brits are reporting that the US is refusing to distribute food donated to hurricane survivors and other countries are saying that their food is also being DESTROYED. BURNED.
Here's the article ...

QD has only one thing to say to people who burn perfectly good food while people are starving:
SHAME. SHAME on you.

Here's an excerpt of the article...
The food, which cost British taxpayers millions, is sitting idle in a huge warehouse after the Food and Drug Agency recalled it when it had already left to be distributed.
Scores of lorries headed back to a warehouse in Little Rock, Arkansas, to dump it at an FDA incineration plant.

The Ministry of Defence in London said last night that 400,000 operational ration packs had been shipped to the US.

But officials blamed the US Department of Agriculture, which impounded the shipment under regulations relating to the import and export of meat.

The aid worker, who would not be named, said: "This is the most appalling act of sickening senselessness while people starve.

"The FDA has recalled aid from Britain because it has been condemned as unfit for human consumption, despite the fact that these are Nato approved rations of exactly the same type fed to British soldiers in Iraq.

"Under Nato, American soldiers are also entitled to eat such rations, yet the starving of the American South will see them go up in smoke because of FDA red tape madness." <more>
