pet food good enough for people?
dances_wit...@yahoo.com
shouldn't this be a two way street?
In the USA, commercially-produced petfoods are certainly at sufficient
levels of sanitation.
But what about the gourmet considerations? Nominations for products
that you'd eat yourself?

Good choice, barkadas. Milk Bones really nothing more than a
high-protein cracker, and I like the taste, too. (I thought I was the
only one.) I'll bet they're actually more nutritious than people
crackers, too. Bow wow!

Oops. I meant to say Milk Bones ARE nothing more...

Ever read Nutritional statements on foods? There's hardly any vitamins or
nutrients in MOST foods! Why don't the food manufacturers put ingredients
that have vitamins and minerals in their food? Especially since
vitamin/mineral supplements have been found to be fairly useless in terms
of actually having the vitamins/minerals be absorbed by the body. Vitamins
are out of favor this week, who knows, next week there might be a study
saying the initial studies were incorrect and that vitamin supplements do,
in fact, work.
But in terms of vitamins/minerals, we have to ask the food manufacturers:
"where's the beef?" It might cost a tiny bit more to include more
vitamins/minerals, but this cost would be negligable compared to the
healthcare savings (that we as a society have to pay for when people get
cancer and other ailments).

Yep.

Mindlessly silly with the nutrients particularly.

They do.

Pig ignorant lie.
> Vitamins are out of favor this week,
Because anyone with a clue realises that almost everyone gets enough of
those in their diet and the only ones who dont are those with a bizarre diet.

Mindlessly silly stuff. You cant list even a single example of that happening.

Nope, I know how to get real beef if I want that.

You dont know that last either.
The primary health care costs are due to gross over consumption of all food.

No you dont if you dont bother with health insurance.

In certain highly litigious countries, the food manufacturers might be
afraid of being sued for causing vitamin poisoning if they added
significant quantities of vitamins.

I worked with a woman who had temped with a dogfood manufacturer. Her

carefully."
