![]() In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto $16.95 Read this book and finally understand our food. With over a hundred thousand man made chemicals, and most of them ending up in the food, or engineered food products we consume Michael Pollan steers us through the confusing maze of what to purchase, and what and how to eat our food. Great book. ![]() Newman's Own˘îOrganics Adult Dog Food Chicken & Rice Formula, 12.5 Pound Bag $30.02 I adopted my dog about 6 months ago and he had digestive problems that the vet could find no cause for. He would get diarrhea with mucous in stools regularly. His stools would vary from constipated to unformed soft stool. I decided to switch him to a better quality food and did a lot of research. Newman's Own had all the qualities I was looking for, so I switched him to it gradually - 1/2 Purina One and 1/2 Newman's Own at first and gradually more Newmans' Own in the mix until finally 100% N.O. Ever since switching about six weeks ago, he has not had constipation or loose stools. I also don't hear his tummy roiling after meals like before. And despite what a few reviewers have written, the chicken and beef used in the pet food, while not "organic", is "natural" and raised without hormones and antibiotics. According to [...] ingredients list: "Natural Chicken - Raised without growth hormones and antibiotics and fed only a 100% natural, all-vegetable diet, the chicken meat provides amino acids essential for muscles, hormones, enzymes, antibodies and structural and protective tissues." Also, the beef is free-range anad range fed w/ no hormones & antibiotics. For me the evidence is clear - this is good quality food, my dog loves it and I love that when I buy Newman's Own products, the royalties go to charity! ![]() Grand Edition Gourmet Food Gift Basket - Medium $39.99 Sent this to my dad for Father's Day and got a note a few days later saying, "some of the items in it were pretty tastless. The formaggio e vino had no trace of vino whatsoever. Some of the cookies and crackers had no taste to speak of and were only useful to scoop up the formaggio which wasn't remarkable. Whoever sold this to you may want to rethink their source. The basket is nice, however!" So much for a nice Father's day gift! ![]() 50's Decade Box Gift Basket - Classic 50's Candy $39.95 This is the best gift for that person who really doesn't need anything, but that you still want to get something that they will remember. I have used this three times and each time it was the hit of the party, not only with the person receiving it, but eveyone else at the party. It is great that you can customize it to several different decades. |
