Here's someone's else's take:
"The dog food industry actually started as a profitable instrument of getting rid of a bumper wheat crop. Pet foods were made with whatever be left over or not fit for human consumption and that line of thinking is the same nowadays as it was then. The major dog food companies are for their bottom line- Most of them are owned by human food companies and it of late makes sense to send all their biproducts and excess small piece to the pet food plant. For example, Purina and Nutro are owned by Nestle, and Iams and Eukenuba are owned by Proctor and Gamble.
Additionally, companies like Hills (Science Diet) have invaded vet schools by any sponsoring the student's only nutrition class (gee, I wonder what those vet students learn- that the ingredients in Science diet are bad- I have a sneaking suspicion that not) OR - they pay for a vet student's education in exchange that upon graduation, the vet recommend their pet food for 10 years- not to mention the trips to Hawaii they offer vets if they supply a certain amount of food."

Interesting. It's worth noting that Natura is being bought out by Proctor and Gamble as we speak. That includes California Natural, Innova, and Evo -all foods I carry. I'll be watching for "New Formula!" on the packages...
