Pets Can’t Lie, but Pet Food Manufacturers Legally Can

(NaturalNews) You come home from work and notice your dog or cat peeping at you from around the corner, you immediately know something's up. Regardless whether you discover a 'present' left on the living room rug or a broken vase from the cabinet they aren't supposed to be up on, pets can't lie -- they tell us the truth every single time. Pet food manufacturers on the other hand can lie and keep a straight face about it -- every single time.

Changing the name to protect the pet food company identity, here is part of the new advertising for a pet food:

"Healthy Living... Yes, living healthy can be delicious".

And from the website of the same food company (changing some of the wording):

"Healthy Living Pet Food provides an abundance of tasty, wholesome ingredients giving your pet the perfect balance of nutrition and taste. Your pet will relish the new flavors. The same quality nutrition you enjoy can do the same thing for your pet."

Now, here is the actual ingredient list from the pet food that advertises healthy, abundance of wholesome ingredients, and implies it's the 'same quality' as your food.

Pet Sayings: Crazy Like a Fox

When used in its intended form, "crazy like a fox" is an oxymoron meaning seemingly foolish but in fact extremely cunning. If you call someone "crazy like a fox" you are saying that person is sly and capable of outwitting others. For example: "That John McCain (or more accurately, the Karl Rove political machine) is crazy like a fox for choosing Sarah Palin as his running mate."

The fox has been celebrated for centuries as a crafty animal — especially by the British during the hunt. While a fox's actions may appear bizarre to the average onlooker, he is often acting in a brilliant manner to save himself.

The animal's wiles were first noted in the "Trinity College Homilies," dating from the 12th Century. The expression gained modern currency when American humorist S.J. Perelman selected it for the title of his 1944 book.
