Pet Food, Poisons and Entrepreneurs!

You know, I am highly disturbed by the shortsightedness of my fellow citizens and have railed against short term gains for long term losses before. I spoke about Walmart and their rapacious greed, I ranted about Verizon and the rest of the ISP's wanting to break net neutrality so they can take every last cent possible from consumers, and companies like StarForce that have basically decided you do not need to have control of your own computer. This preface is entirely because I have found something to recommend, but do not want anyone daring to think I am a corporate shill because I'd like to recommend Flint River Ranch Pet Food.
Well, the recent fiasco with pet food in the US had me thinking already (Thanks again Walmart for being a market leader in poisoning pets!) and I wondered why we are importing so much pet food. It really seems sad that it is cost efficient to import what is in essence a bulk product. I was especially concerned because it was not just Walmart causing this problem but it appears to be industry wide. Thanks to a coworker, I found this site (http://petfoodtracker.blogspot.com) that discusses the entire issue. The information there is rather interesting. Then in one of those “AHAH!” moments, I realized that she was behind the sale of high-quality pet food sold by a local business. The little startup is called Flint River Ranch and I would highly encourage people with pets to check it out. For one, my local area needs business to grow, because if we ever get rid of the convicted felon we have as mayor then some tax base will help the next guy work on removing our title as the third most dangerous city in the US. Those Compton pansies are whining about us stealing their props, I am waiting for the album “Straight Outta Flint to Someplace Safe like Compton” to hit the shelves.
Here's a little propaganda from the Flint, Michigan based Flint River Ranch;

This stuff is is better for your pets than most of the food we get from fast food places for ourselves! I have to give these people credit for seeing a problem and stepping up to capitalize on it, while providing a needed product. We, as a country, need to start looking at utilizing our purchasing power in a way that is good for our future, and act as smart consumers. Plus, our cats like it, maybe yours will too!
