I apologize. It was mostly meant to be sarcasm, while giving you my opinion about over-feeding. I shouldn't have included Mooschele's dictatorial beliefs in feeding our own children certain foods. Guess, I'm getting a little sensitive about the nanny state when I read the article. Sorry, could have worded it better.

BTW, my tiny Min-pin-chi is the happiest dog I've ever had. Her bowl is full of hard food (yes, mostly carbs, but lots of fiber and good for tartar), and I share my chicken salad with her which she gets so excited about. Unlike many dogs, she eats only when she is hungry. I love her more than I love people, except for the SO. Best I say that in case she reads this - har!

Much appreciated. I’ll bet your Minpin-chi is one energetic (and protective) little dog! Cheers!
