Book: Cats would buy mice - How the food industry makes our animals sick

Germany's No. 1 food critic, Hans-Ulrich Grimm, has written a shocking report on the unscrupulousness of the pet food industry with "Cats would buy mice. Because if you believe the advertising, the best is just good enough for our pet. But instead of balanced food, our four-legged darlings get an unhealthy mixture of slaughterhouse waste, extender and stabilizers. Among them also again and again scandalous: Sewage sludge for instance, or new ingredients from natural gas, won with the help of bacteria. Without any labeling, of course. Flavorings are added so that the animals can eat them at all. In "Cats would buy mice," Hans-Ulrich Grimm uncovers the unsavory truth about commercial pet food.
