Channel 5 tonight

Anyone watching this dog food thing at 9pm ??

Yep! On now - excuse me for a while....

Yes, on catch up!

It's on now, but the first thing I heard was a vegan saying that their dog must also be vegan as there's no such thing as humane meat.

I can see this being a somewhat biased programme, which is a shame. We'll see how it pans out.

It's actually very good! Was a little unsure at first, but turns out it's extremely unbiased and informative!

I'm undecided. It seemed genuinely unbiased, but there didn't seem to be any real conclusions. Or did I miss something?

I was able to see the first three quarters of the programme (with some interruptions) but found what I saw interesting, informative and thought provoking.

For me, the idea that dogs can exist healthily on a vegetarian or vegan diet (because of the owners' personal opinions) caused me to raise my eyebrows.

Hmmm, that was the only bit that I disagreed with. I feel that a dig is an out & out carnivore & shouldn't be made to fit in with our own feelings towards meat.

I agree absolutely.

I don't agree with feeding a carnivorous animal a non-meat diet, with the exception of the woman whose dog was meat intolerant, but I suppose they had to show that part of the programme in order for it to remain unbiased.

missed it   

watched wolf of wall street   

It was interesting to see the guy who set up whichdogfood.com, he's much younger than I thought.

Talks a lot of sense.

do you know if it will be repeated

I liked what he had to say. Again, not too much bias shown!

I think it probably will be at some point, though I don't know exactly when

It might be available on some sort of catch up thingy (good, technical language there!).

 

bad as me

The oriental guy who seemed to be representing the commercial food companies changed sides a few times - very confusing!
