They need to send all the diseased illegal mexicans home with their sombrerros and their TB-tainted Cheese.

"But the germ can infect anyone who eats contaminated fresh cheeses sold by street vendors, smuggled across the Mexican border or produced by families who try to make a living selling so-called “bathtub cheese” made in home tubs and backyard troughs."

It aint California cheese, it's Mexican "bathtub" cheese. Just wait until they take over Wisconsin, then we'll poke fun of you too.

Call me a snob, but I don't think these guys cooking up cheese in their bathtub will ever contribute as much to the American cheese industry as say Italy or France.

Not just Cheese man. Cheapo Dentists in California and points beyound are getting your 1200.00 per tooth crowns made in China! Lawsuits across the country as people gums blow up from Lead poisoning. Great White Dental Lab, delivers 3,000 chinese made crowns a month, and that is just ONE dental lab. Dentist buy them for as little at 40.00 and never tell thier patients.

Not to mention the 'non precious' alloy they use in china contains Berylium, which goes under the gum tissue, into the blood stream and can cause Lukemia 8 yrs down the road.

Freakin dentists. Freaking Chinese cheap for profit nightmares.

Yep! dem Chincheese makers, probably have a small bunsen burner, some plaster, oven, right next to thier bathtubs filled with wreaking cheese where they make those nasty, lead infestated Crowns for American Dentists.
Down the hall five ft. from these activities they keep chickens and ducks, the butcher block next to thier pens.

Just another reason to build a border wall to keep the illegals out.

I doubt if any of this cheese makes it's way into Kroger supermarkets or the Olive Garden, so they're really just screwing themselves mostly.
