gracielove- I never knew that about New Zealand!! That's fascinating, but it makes total sense.
I get a little iffy about things from Thailand. It's a beautiful country to visit, I'm sure. BUT... I had a college professor from there, and she warned us to NEVER eat meat in Thailand. She said tourists there should basically be strict vegetarians for the entire visit, because the meat is so dirty it will make us sick. She left the country as a student, and returned years later to adopt a baby. Long story short... she ended up with a horrible case of food poisoning, almost died on the flight back to the US, and basically had to have an ambulance meet her at the airport. Evidently from living so many years in the US, her tolerance for dirty meat was gone.
I always think of her story and her warning when I see "Made in Thailand" on a bag of treats or food... I mean, if the meat is so bad for humans, imagine the quality of meat they're using for animals?
I wish more dog food, treats, toys, etc were "MADE IN USA". Whenever I'm in a pet store and they say "Can I help you find anything?", I always say "I wish you sold more things that are made in THIS country". I know I'm just a lone consumer, but there's probably a lot of us who think this way. |
