Researchers from the Tennessee Department of Health and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) also looked at how people behave in petting zoos. |

In 1990, FDA agents raided the pet food store of Sissy Harrington-McGill, a 57-year-old pet lover who was guilty of the "crime" of claiming that vitamins would help keep pets healthy. Without a search warrant, FDA agents ransacked her store, confiscating products and literature.
She was later tried and convicted of violating the Health Claims Law, a law that did not exist at the time of the raid and was never passed by the U.S. Congress. |

Knowingly approved harmful food additives for widespread use in the food supply (such as aspartame, which has a rather dubious history and has been proven toxic in several studies), even when its own safety experts recommended denying approval.
Allowed the continued legal use of harmful, cancer-causing food additives in the national food supply such as sodium nitrite (which causes cancer and yet is intentionally added to nearly all processed meats). |

Newman: It is a good way to educate people about their labels.
Mike: Absolutely. If they are not reading it, then they are just paying attention to the marketing claims on the front. Those are easy to distort.
Newman: Did you know that most of the money a company earns on its pet food goes into marketing? It doesn't go into the bag of food. There are literally pennies on the dollar of nutrition in the food. You can buy a four-pound bag of food for $4 in a grocery store. |

See article keywords and concepts |  I got very frustrated with the pet food situation. Then we developed pet foods. As hard as it was, I'm very glad that I did it, because we are still the only company that is truly doing it.
Mike: Are you finding a lot of acceptance for your product line?
Newman: Yes I am. It grows through word-of-mouth. The retailers who bring it in become very loyal to us, because their customers are very loyal to them. It would be great if I had $250,000 a year for marketing, but it's not going to happen. We're growing as well as we're growing. We're out of the woods. The company is financially stable. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Abnormal food-seeking behavior is characteristic of PWS and includes hoarding and foraging for food as well as eating items generally considered to be inedible such as garbage, pet food, or uncooked frozen food. Infants and children with PWS demonstrate a low metabolic rate and thus decreased energy needs. An intake as low as 1000 to 1200 kcal/day is often required to maintain a stable weight. Strict and consistent behavioral limits and the establishment of regular routines may be helpful behavioral management strategies for food intake and behavioral concerns for children with PWS [64]. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Across the industry, there seems to be no concern whatsoever for the safety of consumers, and that's why everything from pet food to perfume is now manufactured with chemicals that are well known to cause cancer, infertility, neurological disorders and many other serious health problems.
Believe me: The discovery of phthalates in air freshener products is just the tip of the iceberg. What other chemicals lurk in these same air freshener products? And can you imagine all the toxic chemicals found in high-fragrance shampoos, nail polish, makeup remover and dryer sheets? |

In addition to causing cancer, propylene glycol also causes dermatitis, kidney damage, and liver abnormalities. It can cause skin rashes, dry skin, and skin damage. It is a major irritant to the skin. It also can cause nausea, headaches, vomiting, depression, and gastrointestinal disturbances. The other big problem with propylene glycol is that it doesn't leave your body. It stays in the tissues and continues to build up, causing more and more damage down the road. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Indeed, the Grocery Manufacturers of America, the National Food Processors Association, and the pet food Institute successfully lobbied against any new labeling requirement for pet foods. These industry groups rightly worried that the FDA's proposed warning label -"Do not feed to ruminants" - might alarm consumers about what their pets were actually being fed.
Think about that section, too, next time you're purchasing bagged food for Fido. Chances are, Fido is chewing on ruminant cow parts. | | Also, outdated pet food can be used in ruminant (cow, sheep and goat) feed. Retail dry pet food frequently contains ruminant meat and bone meal. Out-of-date dry cat and dog food is sometimes sold as salvage and ends up in cattle feed.
My own comments on the feeding of chicken litter to cattle, which are posted at http://www.madcownews.org, are as follows:
This is fascinating news for several reasons, not the least of which is the fact that chicken litter is being fed to cattle in the U.S. and, therefore, cows are ingesting highly toxic arsenic that's contained in the chicken litter. |

You have some amazing ingredients like bitter melon extract. Wow, you normally do not see that in a pet formula. Can you talk about this product in terms of diabetes prevention?

If the prions get into the pet food cans, it's going to infect the pets, regardless of how well the food has been cooked.
Many countries still ban U.S. beef due to lack of testing
Taiwan, of course, banned the importation of mad cow disease following the first case of the disease in this country, and then when they heard about this one, they banned it again, and that drives the U.S. beef industry nuts. |

Blame China? Give me a break. How about blaming the corrupt, criminally-minded FDA bureaucrats who have utterly surrendered their duties to profiteering corporations fixated solely on exploiting American consumers for maximum profits?
All this doesn't mean China's foods are any safer. They're not. But U.S. foods, drugs and personal care products are just as toxic. |

See article keywords and concepts |  It's because pets are being routinely poisoned with pet food and pet medicine. Popular anti-flea and anti-tick medications, all by themselves, are so toxic to the liver of any animal that if they were prescribed to humans, their side effects would make the Vioxx fiasco look like a harmless prank. | | Only specialty pet food companies offer genuine food. (My favorites are www.Azmira.com and www.TheHonestKitchen.com ).
The way pets are being treated today by many mainstream veterinarians amounts to nothing less than the chemical abuse of dogs and cats by an industry that has, sadly, exchanged ethics for profits and no longer sees its primary mission as helping improve the quality of life of our animal friends. |

See article keywords and concepts |  It was in China's political interests, for example, to show the West that it was cracking down on FDA corruption following the discovery of toxic pet food proteins and toothpaste products exported by Chinese manufacturers. So the execution of its top FDA official served a convenient political purpose, too.
That doesn't mean the execution wasn't justified on its own. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Since there are no safety regulations and only minimal inspections for these products, you can never quite know what you will get. The pet food and toy scandals and reported instances of toxic food and toothpaste from China have shown that we need to be cautious about foods and supplements that originate from places we know nothing about.

The vitamin euphoria has hit the world's population at a time when there are no reliable methods to determine if and when someone suffers from a vitamin deficiency. |

If you've ever wondered what's in those cans that you're feeding your pets, this is the answer -- dead cows that are unfit for human consumption. And some of them, it appears, have mad cow disease. Although there's no indication that this particular cow made it into the pet food supply, I wouldn't be surprised if other diseased cows frequently get into our pets' food.
But, getting back to this particular cow, when it was a downer, the USDA ordered a test to see if it had mad cow disease. | | If the prions get into the pet food cans, it's going to infect the pets, regardless of how well the food has been cooked.

The second test came back negative. |

These raids are all very well-documented, and I think the Life Extension Foundation itself was faced something like 88 different charges?

If you feed your pets lots of white rice for example, you will end up giving them diabetes. In fact, if you're asking a veterinarian who has been practicing for twenty or thirty years, they will tell you that they have recently seen a skyrocketing increase in the number of cases of diabetes in dogs. |
