A Chinese court handed two men the death penalty and gave life imprisonment to a former dairy boss for their involvement in China's contaminated milk scandal.
The addition of melamine to raw milk led to the deaths of six babies and made 300,000 ill.
It appears that the sentences are widely popular in China and I suppose one can see that makes some sense.
To add (for profit and knowingly) a poison to food intended for infants is pretty despicable. And it certainly sends a message about corporate responsibility.

I fear that's it's more about public outcry than corporate responsibility.
When it comes to "corporate responsibility" and food safety, sometimes it's also ignorance.
So, what do you think should happen to Maple Leaf and Conservative minions for weakening the food inspection agency in Canada...

There is no doubt that this was a despicable crime and I can certainly understand the
sentences being popular. However, I do believe a government coverup led to the death and injury of so many. I am sure the death sentences will signal the end to this story, no doubt what the government wants...
