Thanks for this show, and for bringing together such a diverse group of folks.
In our book, _Vegan Freak: Being Vegan in a Non-Vegan World_, we recommend Evolution brand food, though hearing from folks like Ida and others has made me reconsider this recommendation for the coming revisions of our book. In addition, we had our dog on Evolution for some time (probably about a year), but he began to develop allergies to some of the ingredients, so we switched his food (and saw his problems go away). While this isn't necessarily a problem with Evolution, we also did notice that the batches seemed to vary in terms of color, consistency, and smell, and this worried us a bit. Perhaps this is a natural result of the manufacture of this food, but I don't feel comfortable with this kind of variation that we experienced.
Hearing the experiences of some of the guests on this show doesn't make me feel any more certain about taking our dog back to Evolution, and I find Mr. Weisman's dismissive tone worrisome. If some folks have had problems, these problems need to be addressed and dealt with honestly.
