Would anybody bother to report seniors dying of kidney disease? I’m sure we’ve all heard of senior citizens eating cat food (cheaper than tuna) to make it to their next retirement check.

Seriously, it was a HUGE problem where we lived- up until one particular boy started chowing down on a box of (previously unopened) Milk Bones a neighbor had given my parents. We were all pretty impressed- until I happened to notice 'those little white things crawling around in the box'. (Cue sound of little boy screaming in horror while making beeline for the bathroom.) Ewwww. That was pretty much the end of that. Pet food just isn't held to the same standards as human foods are. I confess to having tasted some of my rabbits' yogurt treats when I was younger. (For the curious, they tasted like drywall with a hint of berries. A very <i>small</i> hint of berries.) If it didn't contain meat or bone, I wasn't all that skeeved by it. But, after this? Never again. LOL! Seriously, it was a HUGE problem where we lived- up until one particular boy started chowing down on a box of (previously unopened) Milk Bones a neighbor had given my parents.

I used to do that just to shock my mom. I would pick some out of the box and right in front of her in the kitchen and pop in the mouth and crunch, crunch and mmmmm, mmmmmm sounds. lol “When I was younger, we had a number of little boys in the neighborhood who would eat this stuff for the shock / humor / gross-out value.”

When I was younger, we had a number of little boys in the neighborhood who would eat this stuff for the shock / humor / gross-out value. I've also known a number of babies and toddlers you couldn't keep away from the stuff. Kids put things in their mouths. I'm just relieved that we haven't heard any reports of kid-related ilness or injury as of yet. No problem. One of my biggest worries (as far as people go) was young children.
