False claims. Taking things of out context. Purina Puke, these companies do thing you wouldn't believe; far worse than trying to make someone look bad online. Pretty sad.

I have to wonder if some of the people giving others a hard time on this site are really people from those pet food companies. If they can drive people away from itchmo, it's better for them you know. *Shifty eyes.* Maybe more of us need more *under cover* names. LOL If we keep changing the names on them maybe we can confuse them. Hee hee hee. P.S.

Their energy level is higher. Their coats look better. They're more playful. They overall seem happier and more content. I just want to thank Itchmo and the people here for going out of their way to educate people.

Oh don't worry I don't feed them Purina anymore. I've been on this site for awhile under a different name but several people were giving me trouble so I changed it. I feed my cats something else now. Don't want to say what I'm feeding now so people can give me a hard time about that too. Don't get me wrong most people here have been wonderful but a few people DID give me a hard time. Not trying to offend anyone, sorry if I have. I was just wondering if anyone else had trouble with Purina products. I used to feed them Cat Chow and Purina One. Lorie Says:

House Subcommittee Today Approves Language Slipped into Farm Bill that Prevents States from Protecting their Citizens

Center for Food Safety Recognizes that Proposal Ties States’ Hands, Weakening Food Safety Protections at a Time When they Need to be Strengthened

Washington May 24, 2007 – Earlier today, the House Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy and Poultry approved new language slipped into the 2007 Farm Bill that pre-empts any state prohibitions against any foods or agricultural goods that have been deregulated by the USDA. The passage appears to be aimed at several recently enacted state laws that restrict the planting of genetically engineered (GE) crops, but could also prohibit states from taking action when food contamination cases occur.

“Given the recent spate of food scares, it’s shocking to see this attempt to derail safeguards for our food and farms,” said Joseph Mendelson, Legal Director of the Center for Food Safety. “We need a Farm Bill that will promote stronger food safety standards, not one that attacks these vital state-level protections.”

I just read a couple days ago about potatoes and feeding them to dogs. According to what the site said if the potatoes are cooked e.g. mashed they are safe. It is the raw potato I believe you are talking about right? I will call Evangers as I feed my dog the duck with sweet potato in it and if it were not cooked there would be lumps in the food from the raw potato. She has been eating that and other Evangers canned (no fish though, fraid of mercury in fish) for over 5 months now and there is nothing wrong with her. Let me know what you think. Thx.
