Purina's grubby little secret
Having lost 3 dogs to the same kind of cancer - lymphoma - I'm on a mission to find out why.
I've fed commercial dog food until I didn't and my current dog is in rudely good health. No allergies, no illness.
I asked Purina what they put in their dog biscuits since I suspect the grains may be sprayed with gylphosate which is known to cause lymphoma in lab rats.
They admit to using wheat but refused to say where from. Their legal department advised that I shouldn't be told. Why not.
If you were feeding baby food you bought at the supermarket and the suppliers pulled that stunt what would you think?
3 dogs aged 5, 6 and 7 years. If my kids were dying at that rate I reckon the cops would be looking at me right?
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
33.7% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
65.2% No, I enjoy it
-
1.1% Other - I'll share below
