    We don't feed soft food. It is bad for your pet's teeth.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    I doubt it. Every poor person I have seen represented by eating dog food has eaten canned dog food of a much cheaper variety than the stuff with the added gravy.

    Plus, I think that they are largely a myth as often dog food from a can is as expensive as a can of soup and far more expensive than Ramen noodles.

    Kinda hard to cook with no electricity though....
    Just real crunchy if you don't cook em, and dog food probably has more nutrition.

    I pretty much agree that the oldsters eating dog food is mostly a myth, but not toatally.

    C'mon USC.. you are a man of resources ... if you dont have electricity what does one do to have a hot meal? You build a pit! So you get one large can of dog food ..several bags of Ramen noodles.. and you use the empty can for the ramen noodles ... warm it over an open fire.. rain water will suffice.

    That would get the landlord kinda pissed wouldn't it ?

    Country oldsters only go hungry when they get too feeble to feed themselves.
    ie wring a chickens neck or something like that. There is always some fresh roadkill about....

    One thing ths pet food problem proves, is that bigger is not always better. One company makes such a large protion of our pet food, is several smaller ones made it the impact would be much smaller.

    And Ramen? And the Generic? I have seen Generic soups at .40 cents per can...

    I think that this is a myth that people desperate to "prove" their point use to create the emotive atmosphere.

    Why are the old scrambling around for tins of soup and dogfood?

    Hence the reason for my assertion that this is largely a myth.

    I ate dog food once, for a drunken bet.

    Not bad, certainly better than a kebab...

    Where do you buy your ramen Klaatu? 4 for a dollar is a lot I usually buy it at 8 for a dollar.
