My thoughts, with the environment going to pott as quickly as it is, it is all to easy to blame the food, politics are in EVERYTHING out there, including the holistic pet site mentioned in the above link, though it is an informative site, i refuse to put any weight into their study just as i dont into the consumer reports magazine.
politics.
plain and simple, money talks.
newfyork good advice, people must educate themselves and think on their own what is good and what is bad, anyone can take a photo of a garbage truck, crop it and make it look like it is something it is not.
the way that graphics work nowadays it can be very decieving out there.
the bloat study is good but in my humble opinion there are way to many variables to conclusivly pinpoint the cause, my newfs defy every rule.
they drink water after eating, go play after eating, they never are rested, and so far i have been fortunate that since 86 i have not had the awful monster take any of my beloved pets.
same thing goes for dog food.
if a pet has a weakened immune system who is to say that the things used for cleaning in the household, the hairspray or other things it comes into contact with on a daily basis are the cause of the lymphoma, though my heart goes out to this person, i really cannot see how they can truly blame the dog food and only that.
just as we as people get weakened immune systems cancer can get us just like that from that, and dependant on what we expose ourselves to can be the cause, now the latest is detergent laundry detergent is a cancer causing agent! ARRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGG
I guess people don't ask what happens to all the millions of dogs and cats that are uthenized every year in this country. I assumed they were cremated. Sad read for a sunday morning...but very imformative. Thanks for posting that.
