Be honest. Please. Did this not scare anyone else besides me?

First shown last Saturday and rebroadcast several times this week was the special: Rachael Ray Feeds Your Pets

Featuring the recipes:
Power Pooch Smoothies
Peanut-Carob Isabooscotti
Raw/Whole/Wild/Regional/Seasonal Dog Food Recipe
Mini Muttballs and Ditalini

That both scares and annoys me. Ok, the annoyance part is where does “pets” equate to “dogs only”? Food Network even you must be able to understand this concept. Yet you manage to piss off half the population — the ones with cats especially but also birds, hamsters, you name it. Well done. Another marketing coup!

Ok then … So Rachael is now …. cooking for dogs, and yet many folks are writing in newspapers and blogs and everywhere throughout the Internet that they think the Food Network is going down hill fast recently. With such unique programming as this how could anyone say such a thing?
