The author, dedicated writer for The Christian Science Monitor, comments on the dramatic happening in China. Milk buyers were boosting the milk with melamine, a hazardous chemical, to increase the amount of protein. The buyers would purchase milk from Chinese farmers and add the melamine before selling it to the large corporations. One major company that unknowingly bought the tainted milk, Sanlu was greatly affected my this incident. It appears that these men tainted the milk to get more buyers, because higher protein content means healthier milk, and that would increase demand. This is a serous ethical problem because these men were dangerously injuring many just to make some more money.
