Why I Won’t Be Heading for the Hill’s
I recently got into a slight verbal kerfluffle with a future classmate. Apparently he didn’t like my badmouthing Hill’s, makers of Science Diet.
I have very very very mixed feelings about Hill’s. On the one hand, they pour a lot of money into things that genuinely benefit vet students…not to mention the goodies they offer, like the sportin’ Hill’s backpacks and the student lunches and the pens. I love pens.
On the other hand, I don’t like the unholy alliance they seem to have with the nation’s vet schools–teaching nutrition classes, providing free nutrition textbooks authored by Hill’s scientists, etc.
Take this excerpt from a Wall Street Journal article** (note that Hill’s is owned by Colgate-Palmolive): Read the rest of this entry ยป
