Default baking supplies

why would anyone in their right mind eat flour with melamine in it?
some scumbags in china put melamine into milk powder last year and after it
was used to make baby formula there were hundreds of sick babys and some
died from it.
it gets into your kidneys iirc.
who eats plastic? melamine is a form of plastic. they made dishes from it
back in the 50s and 60s but no one actually ate it. that would be stupid.
DO NOT buy or eat any other food product that has melamine in it.

While you are in China, just be sure to visit at least one of the bakeries
where they blend the melamine into the flour. Melamine makes the flour show
that it has more proteins, vitamins and minerals when tested, It's also
cheaper than actual food products.
