1  Pet Food Info (Menu Foods, Iams, Purina, Hills, Ol'Roy, etc.) / Your Problems with Pet Food / Re: Hubby and I are now avoiding ALL Science Diet on: May 18, 2007, 09:49:43 PM
When 1st whisper of this broke we have 6 belgians and I went immediately to making all our own dog food.   I won't change that.   I buy locally produced and ground grains from the nearby Amish community and since I can nearly a thousand quarts a year and we raise our own meat with local feed, I'm fairly comfortable with what we're doing.   I'm about as sure as it possible to be there are no imported products in our dog food as we buy EVERYTHING used in it made locally.    I vary each batch but basically I start with 16 cups of grain--local oatmeal through corn or wheat and then start adding   3 qts of tomatoes, Amish produced corn oil, the picking among a quart of home canned fish, or red meats, green beans, corn, beets, kohlrabi, chard, spinach, potatoes, cabbage, squash or carrots a couple of different fruits and local honey from a bee keeper (actually the dogs prefer maple syrup but that's a bit over the top).   Ours get every kind of veggie going including reconstituted veggies I've dried such as cilantro or parsley--everything except onions or garlic and 8 to 12 local organic eggs with the grit to poultry local shells and grain grown locally.   It nowhere nearly as expensive as $60 a pop for decent dog food.   Our dogs literally dive into their bowls and their coats glow like wet black coal.   They've never been in better condition.   And NO more horking.  They're happy;  I'm happy.   And our neighbors are glad for the business from what little I do have to buy.     
2  General Pet Information / Law and Politics About Pets / Re: Fast Track authority on: May 18, 2007, 05:54:16 AM
There's much more involved than just Fast Track.  Our own(ed) politicians are deliberately, artifically exploding the US population for extremely nefarious agendas.  One small sidebar includes the intent to leave us so overpopulated--not just livestock  but all pets will have to go.    Today in respect to essentials to life in natural resources, the US population has already exceeded long term carrying capacity which is why we are already importing >20% of our food supply.    Check out http://www.carryingcapacity.org , then give serious thought about what kind of lives our children being born now will be sentenced to lead.   Today we still have a choice.  We can allow our sellout politicians to leave our childrens' lives bleak, hopeless, and with the population density of China -- or we can stop these sellouts.  The choice is ours;  the results of our choices will determine what, if any, quality of lives our children and their progeny live.   Yesterday's Senate sellout proposals allowing 30 million illegal aliens to remain without US borders in violation of US federal immigration laws is a serious initial onslaught in exponentially increasing US population.
