Pet foods rise as poor turn to human use amid price shock
Washington Merry-Go-Round reports a confidential Senate nutrition study showing soaring prices push the poor, especially the elderly, to eat cheap pet foods previously considered inedible for humans. The study cites a 12 percent rise in pet food sales in 1973 and estimates as much as a third of pet foods in ghettos are used for human consumption. It notes wage gains worsen the squeeze and hearings on world food problems will begin. The piece also examines alleged campaign contribution ties to Sen. Bob Dole and the ethical tension between donations and jobs.
