never mind recalls and stuff... if you could BAN 1 or 2 foods FOREVER (and not allow that company to make pet food ever again)
which 2 foods would it be and why? PLEASE keep it to 2 foods only or there will simply be too much info.. I know there are more than 2 bad ones only asking for 2 that you would pick... (maybe state your country too)
me - I am in CANADA...
the 2 brands I least like are SCIENCE DIET and IAMS.
I would ban both of them -
* Science Diet because its over priced crap and people (including vets) are so fooled by their clever marketing stratagy that they actually think its good and dont take the time to research it. - this food is LOWER in quality than many in grocery stores and wal marts.
*Iams because it went down in quality when bought out by Proctor and Gamble but mainly because of its link to that company it is linked forever to cruel animal testing (as is Eukanuba)...www.iamscruelty.com
so whats your 2 least liked foods?

Hi there...I would select Iams for the same reasons you've noted--animal testing. The other, Purina products because they mislead the public with their over-glorified advertising. Their foods are very poor quality even their "Naturals" line.

IAMS because of their reputation for extreme and unnecessary cruelty with animals in animal experiments and testing.
I also want banned all cat foods that can be sold at a regular grocery store. Cats are strictly carnivorous and require a certain amount of meat proteins. Store-brand foods use the absolute minimum amount of meat proteins, making the foods mostly of grain proteins, which cats cannot digest. These foods have the nutritional value of fast food, breaking down the health and immune systems of cats.
Many cats cannot tolerate these foods and throw it up, causing cat owners to think that something is wrong with the cat and getting rid of it, when the problem is easily fixed by putting more meat proteins in the cat's diet.

I wouldn't say I dislike any particular foods as much as I dislike pet owners that fail to do their research and read labels..
If people didn't buy the crap, they would either improve it or go out of business.. If you were buying a car, the last people you would go to for information about reliability studies would be the car salesman.. Why? Well, duh, he's trying to sell a product.. I don't know why people just believe a pretty commercial and don't look it up themselves and use some common sense..
Obviously, there's no reason on earth for a carnivore to eat grains like corn and wheat.. Any person with a brain in their skull could reason that out with a bit of thought.. So many people though just project their needs onto their pets.. "Oh, I need lots of whole grains, whole grains are good = my dog needs whole grain, whole grains are good.."
Of course though, that's not the way the real world works..

Canidae and Innova
Reason is because evey time I hear the name it is from people that are simply dripping with scorn and hate for other people. It makes me sick because that is the first thing I think of when I hear either of these names. They have become very negative to me.
