Thank You, Jean

For a visual reminder of why I don't have full-length mirrors in this house (simply by accident rather than plan). Nevertheless, your well-chosen, as usual, few words, succinct, is a sobering image and one that may cause weight-loss better than keeping our mouths shut and our noses out of our refrigerators.

Now a public reminder to you...if you find any dog kibble recipes, please let your friend know, would you? More informatin on the AussieL concerning the pet food recalls, melamine in rice from the east causing more recalls. I always thought that our pet food industry was regulated here in Canada and perhaps it isn't. Much of our products come from the US. So far, the products I use are not listed in recalls but it's of concern enough for me to think about making my own kibble or at least trying to. I can imagine that I don't have ovens big enough to supply three Aussies with kibble or I'd be lashed to the kitchen stove from now to next week or next month perhaps.

The overall picture is this: our cloth comes from the east; it's full of chemicals, not only from the growing state but more importantly, from the textile finisher's stage...and much of that happens both here and there. Cloth, to quote Jeff Gutcheon, is one big chemical bath from beginning to end. Looks like some of it has entered into our pet foods. Melamine has been found in rice products coming from the east. That's used in the production of fertilizers and plastics and is poisonous to animals...(and ourselves). Why do we buy products that come from other countries that don't have the stringent regulations that we, in North America do, in regard to chemicals?
