I warned a woman about canned pumpkin from China that was on sale, and not to buy it.
Her responce?
"Well, they are selling it her".
Some people don't understand that the FDA nor the USDA don't and can't test every single sample! They only spot check what comes into this country!
Don't buy ANYTHING that says CHINA!

Dogs who eat poo are lacking something in their diet and its usually minerals.
Same reason some children eat dirt.

Regarding the question on why do some species live longer then others ( mice 3 years, dogs 12 years, elephants 65 yrs) A rule of thumb is that the heart is good for one billion beats in a lifetime. There are some exceptions and many variables involved but the faster the average heartbeat the shorter the lifespan.
