Ellen DeGeneres launching vegan pet food brand?
Mother Nature Network ^ | 12/15/11 | Michael D'Estries

"The couple also are developing a line of vegan pet foods — after discovering a void in the market for people looking to feed their dogs and cats vegan vittles," said the Chicago Sun-Times.

While this is theoretically true, I find my cats aren't religious about it: They'll eat cereal, ice cream, protein drinks, soda, heck, even beer. As long as I'm trying to consume it, they seem to believe that makes it a natural part of their diet.

LOL, this sounds like my dog, except she'll come up to you, want whatever it is you are noshing on, and then turn her nose up at it if you offer her some. Finicky, thy name is Thena, she should'a been a cat!

Same here, but I have to be firm about how much they can have. One of my furry friends is a mushroom freak, another likes potato chips and a third likes dried seaweed.

Ever see a cat eat seaweed? I’m going to record that and put it on YouTube someday.

But the point is they do have to have animal protein to be healthy. A pure vegan diet will kill them graveyard dead — IF you could force them to eat it.

The a hidden agenda here. Just like Algore bitching about global warming so he could peddle his carbon credits, these astute capitalist’s are really selling pet veterinary and burial services. Mostly the latter.

Gay Ellen didn’t stop to think there’s a reason there is a “void” in pet food like this.

Some people have no brains.

I don’t mind her. I’ve laughed at her stuff.

I just think vegan pet food is absurd.

How stupid is this woman? Cats are obligate carnivores and if you don't feed them meat they will develop some serious health issues.

Really, this woman is an idiot!

I just happen to have a relevant anecdote here . . . My neighbor has beagles and only feeds them vegan food and supplements. One of them is 15 years old and looks pretty healthy, i.e., it looks well fed, happy and is active for its age. . . Neighbor’s pretty healthy too :) So I guess it can work . . .

Well, I wish some of you would come to my house and speak to my 5 month old Yorkie whose name is Prissy. She has the idea she’s supposed to eat EVERYTHING - like rip off the wallpaper and eat that, dig out a spot in the drywall and eat that, tear up paper and eat, rip off splinters outside on the deck and eat that, eat leaves, PLUS HER DOG FOOD OF WHICH CHICKEN IS THE MAIN INGREDIENT.

So far, I’ve managed not to have to take her to the vet to have her stomach cut open and offending “food” removed.

Vegetables for carnivores.

Terrific.

Yes, but what if the beagles are depressed?

Stupid naval-gazing idiots. Only in America can people with no talent get rich.

If it were not for affirmative action and the liberal love of queers this POS would not be around to muck up our lives.

What’s the deal with Ellen DeGeneres’ picture everywhere you turn? Magazine covers, ads . . . overexposed?
