It's interesting this article starts off talking about food for humans and ends with dog food. Americans have much lower food and health standards and regulations by comparison to countries like France and Germany. The U.S. also has a large quantity of grotesquely obese, diabetic, barely able to walk unassisted, people many of which are children.
Apparently Americans don't quibble much about what they put into their bodies and the government can't be bothered with regulating what's put into food. This is the United States--"Soylent Green is people!"  But then corporate food goes so well with industrial medicine and most importantly, the vicious circle makes so much money. They say you are what you eat and Americans are living proof of this.
