		<description>I did research in Colorado for the nonsense with the Texas Toll Roads, which run by the Front Range and head up to Canada and found a huge Utah political connection behind the whole thing from Mexico to Canada. There are a global network of such roads planned. And they threw generational land owners off their land despite all the bluff of &quot;over my dead body&quot; and use of citizen weapons stockpiled, the ARMY kicked homeowners off... it already happened in 2004. 

This is a heads up for us all - http://stopspp.com/stopspp/?p=27

They&#039;re no stopping this juggernaut of greed and evil ... quite frankly, I think the Pet Food Scandal is looking like some &quot;flag&quot; operation to test processes and responses in the US HUMAN food chain as well ... how broken it is, and where it works (so they can do ???) ...  The only thing that works are the people and these blogs... the hidden identity of those five Baby Food companies that may have product be tainted by RPC ... is a warning to the levels these people will stoop and not warn us. Biowarfare? Genocide anyone? Is it really out of the realm of possibility this Administration would let the unspeakable roll for money? Consider their origins.</description>

		<description>Have you seen these early complaints about American Nutrition ANI in Ogden Utah? Something stinks with that company. The real owner founder Jack passed on in Feb, wonder if his son is up to the job.

http://www.townhall.com/News/NewsArticle.aspx?ContentGuid=66f81b56-3c7d-4dac-86da-beece0ab145c
The city may be looking for a few good noses. When it meets Tuesday, the City Council is expected to set a public hearing for a law that would create a committee to sniff out objectionable odors.

Ogden&#039;s chief administrator, John Patterson, said the city is not singling out a specific company for enforcement. But there have been complaints about a pet-food factory, American Nutrition Inc.

Despite promises, American Nutrition has failed to install an exhaust scrubber on three ovens that bake treats for dogs and cats, Patterson said.

&quot;Stench is not the lasting memory that we want people to have in Ogden,&quot; he said.

Councilwoman Dorrene Jeske said an ordinance is overdue.

&quot;The odor from the American Nutrition plant may have hindered us from getting some businesses along Wall Avenue,&quot; she said.

Company executive Bill Behnken was away from his office Monday and unavailable for comment.

American Nutrition last year said it had installed scrubbers on equipment used to produce kibble products from a mix of corn, wheat, rice meal and meat products, the Standard-Examiner reported.

In addition to creating a sniff patrol, the ordinance would also require companies to adopt technology or change practices to reduce or eliminate bad odors. Violators would be fined $125 to $500.

A panel consisting of a city building official and three residents appointed by Mayor Matthew Godfrey would investigate complaints.

A device known as an olfactometer would be used by city inspectors to determine if an odor had reached an objectionable level. Restaurants and bakeries would be exempt.</description>

		<description>Has anyone checked the Northern California Save-Mart NuPet brand?  They have small cans that are clones of Fancy Feast. I use their cubed beef dinner as a cat treat and a dressing to get my cats to eat home-cooked beef. The can does not list any kind of glutin as an ingredient.

Also, Costco/Kirkland has recalled canned dog food, but what about the Signature Cat Maintenance dry kibble?

So far Athena and Danny are fine, and I want to keep them that way.</description>

		<description>AMY BODA &amp; LIL BEAR&#039;S MOMMA

9 LIVES CANNED FOOD

My cat ate 9 Lives all his life and used to vomit every week to 10 days consistently, sometimes even more frequently.  I kept bringing up the vomiting issue to my former vet, and the vet said her own cat was a &quot;vomiter&quot; and ate plants and plastic to vomit -- same as mine.  

The vet said he just was a vomiter and didn&#039;t seem concerned at all.  My cat also started drinking a lot of water in the winter, which he never did much of before, going to the dog&#039;s water bowl quite a few times per day for several weeks.  I was glad to see him drinking.

Since I&#039;ve switched to Solid Gold canned tuna, the cat has not vomited AT ALL since before Mar. 30th, so we&#039;re coming upon a full month here. I do not like that the SG tuna is canned in Thailand and most likely comes from off shore there.  

I&#039;ve completely stopped the dry food because I read a vet&#039;s paper online that said dry food does not have enough moisture in for cats with kidney problems. The Solid Gold just has the tuna, water for processing, and the vitamins/suppplements (I hope).  

I&#039;m looking for a lower protein food, but even the research is contradictory there.  Some vets feel that lower protein foods may not help the kidneys as much as older research thought.  My goal right now is to give the cat as pure a protein food as possible with the right vitamins &amp; minerals and NO grains, glutens, meals, etc.

Before switching, my cat stayed in bed all day and only came out to eat.  Even his fur, long hair, was somewhat clumped, although not matted.  I attributed it to his getting older (12) and not grooming as much, but now he&#039;s coming out to socialize and is chasing his &quot;mouse&quot; on the fishing pole and following me from room to room.  He&#039;s not drinking from the dogs&#039; bowl, although I mix water with his canned food, which I always did.  His fur seems silkier, too.  I think there has been quite a positive change in him just from the food.  He had a little fluid therapy, which we have now stopped.

Lil Bear&#039;s Momma: Sorry to hear about Lil Bear. Keep calling &amp; emailing Del Monte.

I totally agree and my poor kitty Lil Bear would also agree about the 9 lives wet food also, if he were still alive to do so….and they still refuse to even answer emails now!

		<description>Just saw the FDA notice on Blue Buf recall.
&quot;a matter of integrity&quot;. &quot;We trusted them&quot;. &quot;We trusted them to deliver quality to our table&quot;
Isn&#039;t this what we have all been asking for...integrity. Also trust. Isn&#039;t trust the biggest downfall ever to the pets who have been poisoned.</description>

		<description>FDA searched ChemNutra.

I keep wondering when the FDA will search MENU FOODS.  I want to know the TRUTH.  When did Menu Foods FIRST suspect a problem with their products?  How many of our pets could have been saved if Menu Foods had ordered a recall while they investigated?  When did IAMS&#039;s internal test first find a problem with their products?  When did IAMS first contact Menu Foods?  Was Menu Foods trying to use up their inventory without telling us?  

Apparently Menu Foods had no intention of ordering a recall until Iams forced them to.

WHAT ABOUT THE CRIMINAL CHARGES FOR ANIMAL CRUELTY, FRAUD, AND INSIDER TRADING????????</description>

<p>I keep wondering when the FDA will search MENU FOODS.  I want to know the TRUTH.  When did Menu Foods FIRST suspect a problem with their products?  How many of our pets could have been saved if Menu Foods had ordered a recall while they investigated?  When did IAMS&#8217;s internal test first find a problem with their products?  When did IAMS first contact Menu Foods?  Was Menu Foods trying to use up their inventory without telling us?  </p>
<p>Apparently Menu Foods had no intention of ordering a recall until Iams forced them to.</p>
<p>WHAT ABOUT THE CRIMINAL CHARGES FOR ANIMAL CRUELTY, FRAUD, AND INSIDER TRADING????????</p>

		<description>What a mess - importers blame their suppliers, manufacturers blame their importers, marketing companies blame the manufacturers - where does the buck stop?  And on top of this we have manufacturers using ingredients that are not in the marketers specifications!

I have to give Blue Buff credit - at least they pulled everything - which is more than most companies can say.  And they also state that they are going to find another manufacterer for their food.  I think it was Natura (Innova) who has some wet food made by MF say they were also going to find another manufactuerer.

So - what about Wellness that has some of their foods made by MF, or Natural Balance which has foods made by ANI?  Are they going to move their production?  Can they really be sure that their products have been formulated to their &#039;special&#039; standards.

I think its time for the &#039;good guys&#039; who have gotten caught in this mess to get together and build their own plant - complete with inspections and certifications that every run is made to the standards set by the marketers and has been tested for adulteration.  It would be a start.</description>
