My reaction exactly!  Obviously someone does buy it and should be warned.

Should we really be buying bird food from the conglomerate that makes   fertilizers (Scotts), pesticides (Ortho), and herbicides (Round-Up)?

The products were treated with  pesticides and fungicides to reduce moth and fungus problems during storage,  the company says. These chemicals weren't approved by the US Environmental  Protection Agency for use in bird feed. The company's statement can be read  on their website: http://www.scotts.com . They downplay the risk, but the  fact that they have removed the products from their dealers' shelves  certainly raises red flags, not only about the products but also about the  company.  --   Dennis Burnette  Greensboro, NC  deburnette AT triad.rr.com
