Comments on How Safe is Your Pet from Government Lies?

Its very stressful to constantly be on the lookout for what will harm you or your animal next. I used to get an email alert each time a product was recalled. It was DAILY. That should be shocking but its all too common now. So I have tended to opt out of what's considered normal consumerism these days and take matters into my own hands.
I find Chicken jerky is the easiest of all the treats to make at home. You can use anything really - beef liver or salmon end pieces are a favorite.
-- sliced thin, and bake on 200F for about 2+ hours. That's it!
If looking at cost: For 20 minutes of prep work
1. 32oz Happy Hips chicken jerky $32 on Amazon OR the equivalent 4lbs chicken breasts at 1.99/lb = Savings of $27.
2. 12oz Pro Treat Liver treats $25 on Amazon OR the equivalent 3lbs Beef liver 2.45/lb = Savings of $20.
And if you really want to shake your fist at policy and PR, remember there is sales tax on dog products but not human food. In my city, Seattle, thats a 9.8% savings right off the top on marrow bones, chicken backs & necks and all kinds of doggie goodness buried in a grocery store's freezer. Now if we can just keep the human food supply safe... but that's a whole other topic.

The FDA is a revolving door for Board members of the big multinational companies. These folks go from the corporation board to appointments in decision-making positions on the FDA and back again to corporations. So the FDA is there to protect the interests of the corporation, not the American people. It's a misunderstanding Americans have had for quite some time and quite obvious if anyone takes the time to trace some of these "key" people's migrations.
Our country has changed under my generation's very noses with very few noticing or even caring. As long as people have their televisions, their beer and their easy chair, they are happy.

Dr. Falconer, Great topic!!
