My kitty had kidney and bladder issues and I now have him on special wet food designed for such problems, but I do wonder if the Purina One Senior Formula I had fed him for years reacted with the Chicken Soup for the Cat Lovers Soul I fed him for a variety treat, somehow caused his illness. My vet never commented on my query to that possibility, but I'm just happy my little guy is well now.

Interesting that she mentions about China "completely" cleaning up re food safety or at least saying it has done so. I haven't gotten that impression myself but I would love for that to be the case.

Dr. Nestle is an amazing person to talk to. I could sit down with her for hours and talk food choices and food politics. She also has a <a href=http://whattoeatbook.com/ rel="nofollow">fantastic blog</a>! I assumed that her name was pronounced like that of the global food company. She was too kind to correct me at Global Pet. Later, Pet Connection Director of Photography Morgan Ong (who took this picture) told me of my error, gently. Sheesh, what a dope I was not to ask! It's pronounced "NES-uhl," by the way, with a near-silent "T." Her books, "<a href="http://www.powells.com/biblio/1-9780865477384-0" rel="nofollow">What To Eat</a>" and "<a href="http://www.powells.com/biblio/1-9780520254039-0" rel="nofollow">Food Politics: How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health,</a>" are incredible reads that explain most of how we got in the mess we're in, in terms of our food supply. And how you can protect yourself by making better choices. Thanks, Kim! Dr. Nestle is an amazing person to talk to. I could sit down with her for hours and talk food choices and food politics.

It’s pronounced “NES-uhl,” by the way, with a near-silent “T.”

Others will join in the memorial service, also, and a special song will be song for all the pets lost.
