Stop!!! Pet food is healthier than fast food!

[Guest guest]

I am having second thought about coming to your house for dinner Shawn!

Omgoddess! This says more about the quality of human food than pet food.

Pet food is made up of animals and animal by-products that have been deemed

unsuitable for human consumption. Many brands have the ground up remains of

pets that have been euthanized. That is a proven fact. They determined that

since they were finding traces of the drug that is used to euthanize animals

in pet food and upon research than located veterinarian places were indeed

selling the bodies of euthanized animals to pet food companies or a middle

man. While pet food may be lower in fat, salt and sugar of fast foods that

doesn't say anything about the quality of the pet food for human

consumption, but of the quality of our fast foods. Omgoddess. Doesn't that

freak you out? I remember when younger stories done on the networks news

about poverty among the elderly and how they were reduced to eating canned

pet food. I am not even sure that I would eat Newman's Organic pet food if I

were a flesh eating carnivore! <grinning>
