WSJ: A Pet Food Giant’s Mission to Understand Cats
The Mars company makes M&M’s, Snickers and other human food, along with pet food brands like IAMS, Eukanuba, Pedigree and Sheba.

These States Now Allow OTC Ivermectin, and More May Follow
Currently four states — Tennessee, Arkansas, Idaho, and Louisiana — have passed OTC Ivermectin laws.
Federalism and states being the laboratories of democracy, is a good idea, but it seems odd that states set their own pharmacy laws. Since they do, it’s good to make Ivermectin an OTC medication. I might have hookworms. You don’t know.
