Garbage would be a better description

When we talk about meat that is intended for canine consumption what you don’t know is that diseased meat and offal, including the intestines, skin, feathers, feet, chicken heads are all processed into “meal” and sold to the dog food companies. It is perfectly legal for a beef rancher, who has had cows die from disease, pile them up in a mound and wait a few days, while they rot, until the meat company comes by to buy it and then process it into dog food. Pretty awful, right? But it is legal.

Also in dog food are chemical preservatives. Two of the most used are BHA and BHT for the preservation of fat. These two compounds can cause liver and kidney damage, yet for years these products were incorporated into baby foods. Many countries have banned their use and importation. BHA and BHT were on the GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) list because there were no known negative effects to the body of humans and animals. In 1991, these two chemicals were removed from the “GRAS” list, but some pet food companies are still using them in their products.
