Yes, Blue Diamond was one that injured a lot of animals, but Blue Buffalo
(finally found the right name) was the company that I saw in this particular
article.. They were supposedly skipping "animal by-products", but it turned out
not to be the case.  They of course blamed everyting on their "supplier".

I would guess if one was careful regarding worms and that kind of thing it
wouldn't be bad.  I'd be wary of a totally raw diet though..

This is the article I was referring to:

Heh, I can picture hime hiding :)

We're supposed to warm up this week to the high 80's... Hope so.. feel like
summer is dissappearing too soon this year :)

===Fried Green-Tomato Sandwich===

Ingredients

    For the sauce:
    3/4 cup mayonnaise
    3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
    3 scallions, minced
    2 teaspoons green hot sauce
    1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
    Kosher salt
    For the tomatoes and sandwiches:
    6 medium green tomatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds)
    1 cup white vinegar
    1/4 cup sugar
    Kosher salt
    3 tablespoons pickling spice
    1 handful fresh dill (leaves and stems)
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup cornmeal
    1 tablespoon chili powder
    4 large eggs
    Peanut oil, for frying
    12 slices brioche or potato bread
    Yellow and red tomatoes, sliced, for topping

Directions

Make the sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, parsley, scallions, hot sauce,
Worcestershire sauce, and salt to taste in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate.

Slice the green tomatoes 1/4 inch thick and place in a large bowl. Combine the
vinegar, sugar and 1 tablespoon salt in a saucepan. Put the pickling spice in a
tea ball or tie in a square of cheesecloth with twine; add to the saucepan
along with the dill. Simmer over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar
dissolves, about 5 minutes. Add 2 cups cold water and pour over the green
tomatoes. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour, 30 minutes.

Whisk the flour, cornmeal, chili powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a shallow dish.
Whisk the eggs, 2 tablespoons water and 1 teaspoon salt in another shallow
dish. Heat about 1 inch of peanut oil in a large skillet over medium heat until
a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F.

Drain the green tomatoes and pat dry with a paper towel. Working in batches,
dredge the green tomato slices in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg
mixture and dredge again in the flour mixture. Fry in the hot oil, turning
once, until the crust is golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels
and sprinkle with salt.

Spread each slice of bread with some of the sauce. Layer the fried green
tomatoes and the yellow and red tomatoes evenly among 6 bread slices. Cover
with the remaining bread slices.
