Just a couple things today...some food art and a book about pet food.
* I was reading
Design for Mankind, one of my daily blog-reads, by Erin Loechner, when I came across
this post about Liz's Foodtography. I absolutely love it and want a print for my picture wall in my den.
Liz takes time lapse photos of her meals and posts them to her Flickr stream
* I came across this book review
here.
"If you've ever been curious about pet food, a new book by Marion Nestle and Malden Nesheim is sure to satisfy. Feed Your Pet Right examines the politics, marketing, and science behind pet food, and also serves as a research-based guide on how to feed your dog or cat sustainable and healthy foods."
Interesting to find out that the 5 major pet food producing companies in the US also produce "people-food": Nestle, Mars, Proctor & Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive, and Del Monte. If this industry is as unregulated as the "people-food" industry in this country, (as I can only assume it is), then this should be an informative and eye-opening read for anyone who is an animal-lover.
Has anyone read the book? Are you loving the local farmer's markets around Columbia, or what?!
So is the Nestle author at all tied in with the Nestle food brand? I would love to read that book. I've been trying to buy more natural pet food for Buttercup... though she is fighting me tooth and nail! :)
ReplyDeleteNot sure about the relation of the author to the Nestle company--I'll have to research that! Good for you for trying to feed your kitty well. Hope things are good for you.
