I just got done watching a segment of "How It's Made" about dog and cat kibble. I found it very interesting that they made no visual representation or mention of the meat going into the kibble, aside from saying cats require more protein than dogs. They went over grain and cereal filler measurements, extruding, baking, spraying, storage, and bagging, but no mention of the meat, not showing it, not saying what it could be, nothing. I'm sure the company explicitly instructed the program NOT to show any part of that process as I'm sure it may have turned off more people to the kibble. Anyway, it was interesting, albeit short. Apparently the kibble sit in silos until packaging time... yum?
Where did you watch this at? I would love to see this. I feed raw because of this but I have a few vet friends I would love to tell them to watch this.

It was on earlier today on Discovery Channel. They also have it on the Science Channel. http://www.commentcestfait.com/html/anglais/index2.html I highly recommend the show as it's so darn interesting! In the same program was a segment on making prosthetic eyes. That was the first time I've seen a bare eye socket get filled with a mold-creating goo. Bizarre and super interesting. When they finally put the fake eye in, it looked perfectly real. Wish I had artistry skills like that. Anyway, back on the dog food, I looked up the brand and they don't use any non-specific meats or by products (as listed in the ingredients). They couldn't even show the ground up meat flowing to the mixing area? <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Is the meat that scary?
