False advertising? Lots of companies do that.

Oh come on. That's not a very good answer.

The fact is, there is processed meat in virtually all dry cat food. I'm sorry, but to deny that is simply absurd.

Flavorings yes, but meat doesn't stand up very well at room temperatures.

Why is it that so many people make claims and refuse to use data to support their opinions? I don't get it. There is a lot of data available on the internet, most of it free for the taking....why don't people use it???? I am talking about data about poverty, quality of life, the economy, child rearing, retirement, ....and on and on....

Why is that? Are people inherrently too lazy to use data? Are they so uneducated that they can't? Are they afraid that data will contradict their opinions? WHY?

Do you have data to back this up?

I'm sure God has better things to do than worrying about your posts--or what any of us here on Earth do.

You're kidding, right?

Take a can of cat food and leave it opened on your counter for a week, and tell me what kind of life forms you get.

That has nothing to do with anything.

You claimed that dry cat food is not made from meat. But the fact is, most dry cat food has meat in it. It is processed so it doesn't spoil as rapidly, but it's there. Sorry, but that's just the fact.

I watched a show about how they make it. It's remarkably like cereal, actually. Just with meat flavor added instead. You could give the cat Trix, and it'd be about the same.
