II think people have very strong opinions on this topic, or at least it seems to be a very emotional one. I think there is a lot of good informayion shared. But food, whether we are feeding dogs or people, is a vry emotional topic. I can remember a lot of controversy on making your own baby food vs. buying the stuff in jars. It's weird how emotional the food topic gets.

 I hope no one considered my post critical. I value ravens posts and save many of them because they contain so much valuable information. 

I don't think anyone has extreme opinions here just food for thought and valued insights.

>> I find it interesting that Raven has written lengthy posts with factual information from her own life and experiences.  she has included links to well known, established and accepted resources like the Whole Dog Journal. She has not once told anyone that they should feel guilty for their choices. She has encouraged conscious, intelligent decision making.

>> I feed a kibble because that is what works for me.  I don't feel guilty about it.  I don't feel like I'm abusing my dogs or treating them badly.  It is my choice and I take full responsibility for it.

>> Some things about dog food that you may not know...the information for my small pet nutrition class provided to me when I was in vet tech school was provided to the college by Hills for free.  The food for the dogs in the kennels was also provided by Hills for free.   It was a pretty sweet deal for both Hills and the college.
>> 
>> My husband, who is a farmer and used to also raise cattle, has personally sold cows to the Iams dog food factory.   He has described in detail the condition of the cows when they left the farm.  They were not able to be sold at the higher prices to the human food companies.  Many were dead, sometimes had been dead for a while, bloated in the sun, before the truck arrived to pick them up.
>> 
>> I live in an agricultural area and am married to a farmer.  I am fortunate to know where much of my food comes from.  It's not quite as glamorous as the commercials lead you to believe.
