I've noticed that, while our cats seem to crave "junk food" (i.e. the boxes of cheap kibble like Meow Mix or Nine Lives), on the occasions when we've gone out and got them a box they tend to puke it up a lot more. I think a lot of horrible stuff goes into pet food. I did some research on tallow factories once, after finding out it was in the realm of possibility I might have to go to one for my job, and it was alarming to learn not only how awful they are but that the products can end up inside our pets and ourselves.
Janey, I think Iams has been accused of some animal experimentation and other abuses, while Nutro is regarded as the more acceptable alternative.
