I'm so glad you posted that link. I've really enjoyed reading through a lot of those questions. I still have about 100 more to go and then I'll be done (of course I'm only looking at ones that interest me).

Have fun at the doctor. BJH, I suppose for those who think soy is a bad thing, it would make sense to not want to use it in dog food. But I don't have a problem with it for myself, so I'm fine with it for Ellie too...

My sister-in-law had a poodle that lived to be over 21 years old. This dog was just fed low quality dog food and table scraps. One thing I do know it the dog did not get annual vaccinations after 5 years old. I really feel that so many of the illnesses we are seeing in pets today are contributed to over vaccination and over use of medications. Diet is important but when people allow vets to over vaccinate them, the best diet in the world won't help them. One thing I do want to mention about the soy, one article did say that children given soy formula are more likely to develop type 1 diabetes. My daughter has 3 boys and two of the boys were given soy formula as infants and both of those boys have type 1 diabetes, the other boy is just fine. There is no history of diabetes in our family. There are so many things out there that really make me wonder what are we doing to ourselves and our pets. Another one of my pet peeves is artificial sweeteners but that is a different story. | |

| Lawsuit Calling the contents of dog/cat food "Human Grade" is the basis beind the big lawsuit that is going on now with Wellness Old Mother Hubbard Pet Foods. It is misleading the consumers "The law firm of Call, Jensen & Ferrell announce they represent the Plaintiffs in a class action law suit against Old Mother Hubbard Pet Foods and Petco Animal Supplies. From the complaint: “Defendants have been knowingly and systematically defrauding hundreds of thousands of California consumers by marketing their dry pet food products by falsely representing that the products: (1) contain no animal by-products; (2) are “human grade”; (3) “are the same quality you would feed to your own family.” These claims are manifestly false and misleading.” “In reality, Defendants’ product contain “chicken meal” and other animal meal – which consists of law quality poultry meat, poultry skin, bones, -- and may include feathers, internal organs, and other viscera. Chicken meal is never suitable for human consumption. Thus, the purchasers of these products have paid a significant premium believing that they are feeding their pets the same quality food that they would feed their family, when in reality they are receiving rendering plant by-products that could never be fed to humans.”" Wellness Old Mother Hubbard Pet Food law suit announced

| So has ANYONE found a raw dog food that really could be eaten by humans (if cooked, of course)? |
