They're actually the same link. Or very much related, anyway. I'm rather disappointed that she didn't comment on the tiger cubs one....

Incidentally, did you know that Friskies is a subsidiary of Nestle? I did *not* know this. Now I do. Yay me?

Yep... Most of the larger brands are subsidiaries of major food companies -- General Mills, Nestle, etc. The pet division is used as a method of getting rid of the byproducts produced in engineering the human products while still making money, that they'd otherwise have to pay to dump somewhere.

My mom bought Nestle bottled water from Sam's Club. There's so much wrong with that it's not even worth analyzing.

When I politely asked her not to buy Nestle stuff, she looked at me and laughed. I think she mumbled "hippie" under her breath, which is weird because I am so far from a hippie. In practice, anyway. Morally, I guess I am a hippy...

Sorry, rambly. Just woke upy.

I really don't understand the anti-breast feeding fuss. What possible more appropriate location is there to breastfeed a child than an eating establishment? You're eating, other people are eating, the child is eating.

My sister recently commented about how: name a location, and I've breastfed there. Zoo, yup. Eiffel tower, yup. etc. She's traveled a lot and has two kids, so she's ended up breastfeeding them almost everywhere.

Breastfeeding is also incredibly commonly depicted in art. Because there are countless madonna with child or other religious figures as babies breastfeeding in countless works of art. Baby and child is one of the most common themes. Probably because it's also such a huge part of life.

And the products are about as healthful for your pet as those of the parent company.
