What Foods Are Healthy For Dogs and What Should They Avoid?

Most dog owners are familiar with their pups’ enthusiasm for food, whether it’s begging for a bite, scavenging crumbs or munching on grass.

“Efficiency” is a frequent justification for allowing corporations to consolidate vast swathes of the marketplace. But when it comes to food, huge grocery chains and ubiquitous dollar stores are limiting some rural and urban communities’ access to healthy food at the same time they bankrupt the farmers who produce it, members of a virtual panel said late last month.

And if Cincinnati-based Kroger completes its acquisition of Albertson’sthe consolidation will still be greater. “We’ve seen extreme concentration in the grocery sector,” Stacy Mitchell of the Institute…
