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!

Switching Dog Food to Halo?

I want to change my puppy’s kibble to Halo, and I went to the dog food analysis website and it’s not listed there. So I found the ingredients and would love to know if it’s really a high quality food.

Ingredients:
Chicken, pea protein, whole dry egg, oats, vegetable broth, pearled barley, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid), pea flour, chicken liver, salmon, flaxseed, salmon oil (preserved with mixed tocopherols), pea fiber, sweet potatoes, apples, blueberries, green beans, carrots, cranberries, zucchini, alfalfa, inulin, calcium sulfate, potassium chloride, taurine, salt, folic acid, zinc proteinate, iron proteinate, cobalt proteinate, copper proteinate, manganese proteinate, vitamin A supplement, vitamin D3 supplement, vitamin E supplement, choline bitartrate, niacin, pantothenic acid, ascorbic acid, riboflavin supplement, thiamine mononitrate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, lactobacillus acidophilus, bifidobacterium longum, enterococcus faecium, lactobacillus
I’m also really fond of it since it is made here in the US.

Is anyone else highly sceptical over all this ‘green mania’?

Sure I believe in conservation, frugality, waste elimination, but I also know about carrying something to extremity, and am highly suspicious of those that are profiteers in this carbon-credit green movement. A lot of well meaning people want to preserve asnd save the planet, but we must not stop orderly progress, progress that with the help of the Almighty, will save the starving, the oppressed, and bring lasting peace to all. Lets not be hastened to disaster by people that are either mis-informed, or deceptive using junk science that shackles progress. Politicians are like the whores that follow the fleet, ready at every port to take you, and your money. The people sold into this ‘green monster’ for the majority know little of real practical application of conservative values. We are oversold, over influenced, and over stimulated to gratify our every waking hours with low quality food, low quality goods and services and entertainment & news of the silly, the ridiculous, no wonder?

Shouldn’t we try to be happy with less?

Than to be constantly consuming more? A high level of consumption does not usually mean a higher level of happiness, in fact psychologically, people who get every whim catered to are not happier, but rather develop more desires. With this in mind it, seems highly doubtful that increased consumption or economic growth will make us happier. Since increased economic growth and consumption do not improve the quality of our lives, but do cause other harms, such as increased stress levels, environmental damage, isolation and atomization of the individual, financial irresponsibilty, to name a few, shouldn’t the goal be to be happier with less consumption?
I was in India and there people live in far worse poverty than you will ever find in the US, but their level of happiness and contentment with life is at least equal, if not greater than what I have observed here. As long as basics such as food, medicine, sanitation, and defense can be taken care of, it makes more sense to consume less.

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
