Attention Science Diet advocates…..Are You Aware?

That this food is over priced, cleverly marketed low quality food??

Every time I read somebody ask “what is a good food” there are always 2-3 people who suggest Science Diet (or Iams which is also junk) – it shocks and horrifies me…
Here is the top Ingredient list from their ORIGINAL CAT FOOD
Chicken By-Product Meal, Ground Whole Grain Corn, Brewers Rice, Animal Fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid), Corn Gluten Meal, Chicken Liver Flavor,
* By-Products are Beaks Feet Feathers and are preserved with a Chemical Pesticide Ethoxyquin which is linked to many health problems…
* Corn is a cheap filler of low digestabilty AND it appears TWICE!!!!!!
* Chicken Liver Flavor – What the heck is that???

THERE IS NO MEAT IN THIS ENTIRE FOOD – Cats are TRUE CARNIVOURS!!!!

Vets were PAID to endorse this food – Vets are PAID to sell and promote this food
Vets receive little or NO training on food brands or ingredients
so………. Why are YOU promoting it??
You might think your cat is doing well on a certain food …. some people think a shiney coat = a healthy cat…

most signs of poor feeding show up later in life.. and a shiney coat only means a fatty food… nothing else

Do Buffets Have Good Food Quality?

I have a question regarding buffets. You see, I feel that the quality of food that you get at a buffet is nothing like that of what you would get at a restaurant. After all, how could a buffet make a profit if they served top quality food when people throw out half of their plates just because they are bored of what they are eating, and want to eat something else. Also, on top of that, buffets are generally very cheap. Then when I tell someone that the quality of the food isn’t good, they say. “What do you mean, the food tastes great. It is very good quality.” I always think that it is the way they preserve the food and the way they prepare it by doing something to it, maybe adding salt or something, that makes the food taste decent, but the quality is really awful. Am I wrong? And if so, how do they make all of this food for such a cheap price?
Also, if you have any links to prove that buffets aren’t giving you good quality food, I would highly appreciate it. Thanks everyone!
