I rather dislike the statement by David Lummus: "Markets caught on they
could make a whole lot more money sanctioning the behavior that 15 years
ago would have been attributed to the crazy cat person". I'm sure lots
of people have always made food for their pets.

"Lummis points to 9/11 as a watershed moment." What the heck does 9/11
have to do with it?! He says, "People began feeling like pets €œare our
children; for a lot of people, they just are."

I don't know about other pet owners but I've always felt like my pets
are a member of the family. They need as much care as children.
Perhaps moreso because most children eventually learn to talk and can
start telling you what you're doing wrong. LOL With pets, we can only
guess.

If you want to cook for your dog or cat, go for it. Ditto if you want
to order expensive delivered "fresh" meals for your pet.

The article references those human boxed dinner kits from 'Hello Fresh'
or 'Blue Apron. I'm guessing those are the people who will be buying
this type of fresh petfood delivery kits.

I saw mention of the Instant Pot but only in reference to buying this
and *using* the Instant Pot to cook their delivered pet food kit. Not
for me, thanks.
