so-soYou have to be pretty motivated to read this book. Pretty dry in places where she tracks data. The last chapters on the repercussions were more engaging. Given the increase in dog food choices beyond kibble, people are waking up.

Lessons learned from pet food recall of 2007-2008. As a member of Gen X who spent quite a bit of time in college loading and scanning microfiche, I appreciated how Nestle tracked down animal studies from 1945, the 1960s, and 1970s by visiting libraries and making extensive use of interlibrary loans to get her hands on the original papers.
Reading this account of the 2007 pet food recall is disturbing. Menu Foods was the pet food “co-packer“ for big companies, like P&G, but they're a Canadian company, so the CFO selling half his shares? No repercussions. And by December 2007, Menu Foods unit price was $0.75 CAD, down from $7.50 CAD a year earlier.
