Okay, I've heard of ergot before although, according to the article it is not as much of a problem as it once was. I see mention of aflatoxin, which I have also heard of, abundant in peanuts and I guess in some grains.

Even some very natural foods, such as vegetables, can contain toxins in large amounts, such as oxalic acid in spinach and beet greens.

Apparently, it isn't known yet what ingredient or ingredients are causing the problems from Menu Foods, but we've always been warned against feeding much -- if any -- grain to our pets, especially corn and wheat I think. I know Trader Joe's puts rice in their own brand canned cat food.

I thought of you and Harley when I was just at the market... saw a doggie toy called TireBiter. It is an actual small (7" diameter) rubber tire with a big braided tassel off of it, but I think for larger dogs. Pore Harley would break his jaw on it...:((
