Many of the ingredients are chemicals which one has to be a PhD. scientist just to pronounce, much less to realize their dangers to the human body in accumulated quantities in human cells over many years.Food Traceability UKhttp://verifytechnologies.com/products/food-traceability-software-systemsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138692513508718186.post-21277712108348986512013-01-20T14:53:56.762-05:002013-01-20T14:53:56.762-05:00that's disgusting too bad they don't have ...that's disgusting too bad they don't have USDA standards on their food I would not buy anything from them Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138692513508718186.post-74365560906523923022013-01-19T11:45:31.010-05:002013-01-19T11:45:31.010-05:00Back in the not so distant past when people lived ...Back in the not so distant past when people lived with and worked with animals every day, horses like cattle were closely integrated into most people's lives. Respect, common sense and practicality dictated that the final disposition of those animals was one that included the ultimate service to the planet: to be of use. It was considered disrespectful to the value of life not to honor the end of life with a final purpose to support another life. <br />"If we could identify its origin, we might decide..." that we need to insure that animals are treated with respect regardless of their final disposition. Stop racing, doping, animal abuse, and inhumane slaughter. Stop corruption in international trade of meat, ambiguous food labeling, and inadequate tracing systems. Animals that should not be in the food chain should not be the reason to shut down the food chain. Many horses are humanely raised specifically for food, without drugs. Many horses are free of toxins and would provide safe, affordable food for people who might choose that option. Pets and/or animals that are toxic can be 'dealt with' with respect and safely without excluding other reasonable alternatives for other animals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
