Greenwashing
So how have we gotten so far off course? When the label of ‘green’ was introduced, it was seen as a mission statement; something that would entitle the customer to some sense of comfort that they product they were supporting (which was usually more expensive) was working with the Earth’s best interests at heart. Instead we have simply completed a full consumerist revolution; the label has been taken, assigned a cultural identity and used to sell a piece of a lifestyle that is intended to speak more to your peers than to subsidize an environmental commitment.

I stopped buying pet food for my dogs in their later years and fed them home-made meals instead. They thrived on it and if I ever get dogs again I’ll do the same thing.

>Rachel, I used mainly mince for the cats. Sometimes between supermarket visits they got biscuits.
I hadn’t realised that the right column was advertising. Previously, I had just read the left.

i know all about the labeling on pet food. I know in principal that raw food is better for cats. Unfortunately my kitties have their own idea of what constitutes food. Dry from a bag, they refuse to defer to my knowledge and wisdom about good food. This does not mean I am giving up the fight…it might just take a lot longer than I thought to change their wee kitty minds.

>Marie, I read some time ago about a vet who turned against the petfood manufacturers and recommended a return to raw meat for cats and bones for dogs if you want healthy pets.
