We truly live in a dystopian world.

Most peoples only option for pet care, is the same company that makes M&M’s.

    General Mills has made food for a long time, but if they wanted to open a hospital and do surgery on me, I think that would indeed be a huge stretch.

        “Mars has been making pet foods for over thirty years. Branching into pet care isn’t a huge stretch.”

        I made a matching comparison to human food and human medical care. To my reading, it’s exactly the same, and I don’t understand your reply now. But I admit I’m curious to the distinction you’re seeing, if you’re willing to elaborate.

          How many human doctors are involved in the making of Old El Paso taco shells?

          Now, conversely, how many veterinarians are involved in the designing and creation of one-size-fits-all food that is one-food-for-all-meals? Mars was already employing tons of vets to ensure their food would be both safe and have all the ingredients in a digestible form.

          While I’m sure General Mills does employ human doctors to check for safety, they aren’t trying to create a one-food-for-all-meals solution.

            Ah, I see. I would argue it’s a bigger jump than how you’re presenting it, but your point makes a lot more sense to me now. Thanks for the elaboration!
