If criminal negligence turns out to be the cause of this disaster, the
harming or death of humans could bring the nature of the charges to a
whole new level.

I was wondering how long it would take until a human victim was sickened.
Some indigent people purchase pet food for their own consumption, and of
course the risk that a baby will eat from the family pet's dish is always
there. (

I hope the woman recovers. I sincerely doubt she'll be the only human
affected in this way.

My husband always samples it before he gives it to the cats. He says some
would be really good on crackers. I'll pass. :~)

But most of your resistance would likely disappear if you
didn't KNOW it was catfood! How many of us would have tried
squid or octopus, had we known what "calamari" was?
Although I'll try almost anything that's considered fit for
human consumption, it took me a long while to try escargots
- mainly because it's so expensive in American restaurants.
Once I dined with a friend who liked it, and sampled her
portion, I became a convert. (Although it's much better in
Europe, where the snails don't come out of a tin.) Actually,
I like even better the escargots I've found offered by
Brussels street-vendors - stewed in a broth of onion, celery
and lots of black pepper, rather than served in the shell
with parsley and garlic butter.

I have to admit, I've never been tempted by cat food, but when I had dogs,
some of their varieties were almost too good to resist. (I'm not talking
about Milk Bone Dog Biscuits: my cousin and I snacked on them more than
once.) I particular I seem to remember a chicken variety of dog food that
smelled delicious.

I think all the food I feed my cats smells gross - I'd have to be pretty
hungry to be tempted to eat it. (They seem to like it just fine, though.)

Still, as Gabey8 wrote, there are plenty of people living in poverty who
end up eating dog or cat food because that's all they can afford.

Hope she's OK.

I agreed. The best escargots I tasted were those served at a
restaurant in Paris years ago.

I remember sampling some dog biscuits at a friend's house when I was
very young. The result was very....disappointing, and her poor Scottie
sat there watching us, TOTALLLY not understanding why we were eating
his cookies and not offering him any!

Remember, we were both four, or so!
