This means that anything other than meat in a cat's diet serves no nutritional purpose whatsoever. Incidentally, cats are Obligate carnivores.

And it generally contains menadione, which is a chemical used in the cocktail they use to euthanize animals. Therefore, it's not hard to figure out what they are putting in that "animal digest" and "byproduct" part of the pet food. Pet food mfgrs can use roadkill if they want to. There are no laws. Diamond hauled off those dead cows from farms in texas. Wonder what they died of. If you can't read your pet's food bag, you don't really love your pet. Cheap food is all corn.

Then I made my lunch the night before school. I guess that's too much to ask now. My mother made my lunch till I was tall enough to reach the counter myself.

But while some of the young teachers might not have a problem with it being used college days of eating whatever is laying around. I do believe the members of the local school board would not be so flippant about eating the crap on most school menu's. Think of the last time you went to a school board meeting and about the members on that board. Those self indulgent pricks looking for ways to enjoy more kickbacks from lowest bidder contracts are not willing to suffer themselves. Personally, I think one of the requirements for even running for the school board, should be having a child in the local public school system. I have no doubt you are correct Diana L.C.!

Vending machines are the source of some of the major revenue for PTA groups, school sports and club revenues, etc. It IS always a money issue.

HOWEVER, you can't believe how the younger teachers and school employes will go for the greese-laden french fries and the gooey, greesy cheese pizza of very doughy bread when they are being served in the lunch room. The younger generation--and I am talking late 20s and 30s--have terrible eating habits too. At first glance, your suggestion seems to be a good idea.

We have a store up here in WA called Mudbay Pet food. All they sell is dog and cat food. One night I needed some dog food and they just happened to be open until 9PM...I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT THEY CARRIED! OR HOW MUCH IT COSTS! I walked out with a five pound $15 dollar bag of wild trout and sweet potato dog food. Organic. USDA quality. My dogs loved it...and being mastiffs it fed them for one or two meals until I could get to costco for their regular lamb and brown rice. 40 pounds for 20 bucks. (Oh and yes, we couldn't resist, our curiosity had us by the short ones...the trout and sweetpotato kibble wouldn't be half bad if you added almonds, butter and some brown sugar) OMG Solara 7, you are so right.

And great cartoon. The little boy on the right has the perfect ‘I can’t believe i’ve got to eat this’ look. And that brown – ahem – whatever on the girls plate.

you really lay it out there – putting facts behind what every parent should have known or suspected if they are involved in their child’s school and education.

We concede too much in the name of efficiency and economy. And govt oversight – shameful, criminal, words fail. As you say – this is for growing minds and bodies.

When I go to the pet store owners are fawning over the ingredients and rejecting anything with too much this or that. (I do hope they are actually caring as much for the kids.) Meanwhile, there are really BAD dog foods as well. If it's really cheap its the same as the kid's lunches. Too many people are chossing DOGs (period) over their kids.
