Which one is the best SENIOR dog food?

We have to put Chuckles on a Senior Dog Food, which one do *you* think is better? I noticed that DN started with a grain, not a meat, is this better for a Senior? Also, do you know of any ‘cheap’ GOOD quality foods? (I know about Kirkland, but we never go to Costco.)

Does anyone know if Xolos are vegetarians?

I feed my dog high quality can-food and also this organic dry stuff. He still seems to get some stomach trouble (gas) with it. I’ve heard somewhere they’re vegetarians.. Is that true?
He gets meat every day, but he’s more into grains etc. Loves chicken. However, the breed is very old and some websites recommend to feed veggies only. I don’t know.
Thanks anyway.

How should I preserve cooked chicken?

I used to live in a dorm at the university, but now I am living off campus. The food offered in my school is extremely expensive and not good quality or healthy.

Since I won’t have time to come home multiple times between classes to cook, I wanted t cook meals for the five days in advance and bring it with me( they have a microwave I can use).

I will be cooking the following:

-broiled chicken or meat
-rice and beans or spaghetti

What is the best way to preserve this? I was thinking about just refrigerating everything, but is it better to bring it frozen?

Also, my menu is very limited, if anyone has any suggestions of simple protein rich meals, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

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!
