Kenya furious over NZ dog food offer

February 1, 2006 - 2:34PM

A plan to feed starving African orphans with dog food has led to howls of outrage in famine-hit Kenya.

New Zealand dog food maker Christine Drummond insists she can deliver a life-saving mixture at a time when as many as 3.5 million people face starvation from drought.

"It is immoral, it is unacceptable," said Kenya's Special Programs Minister John Munyes.

"I am very much offended, it is in bad taste," he told AFP. "It is unacceptable and we should not even be discussing such a demeaning thing."

However, Drummond insists that with a little water her powdered meal becomes "a high-powered food, full of nutrients and it tastes yummy".

"In fact, I like it so much that I even sprinkle some on my porridge every morning as a pick-me-up."

She has offered to send 42 tonnes to feed 160 children for two months.

Drummond, whose company makes Mighty Mix dog biscuits, wants to send the food to hungry children on Rusinga Island in Lake Victoria.

She says she heard the children were starving after the daughter of a friend returned from a visit to Kenya.

Originally Drummond had planned to send dog biscuits but when she realised there were so many hungry children she thought it better to send packets of the raw ingredients instead.

"The first plan was to send dog biscuits and change the vitamins. Then when I heard there were so many little children I could not send them a bickie," she explained.

She said the powder is a "sustainable meal", containing freeze-dried beef, mutton, pork, chicken and deer as well as green lip mussels.

Other ingredients include kelp, garlic, egg, wholegrain cereals and cold-pressed seed flour.

Drummond, has told NZ media that the mix will be different from pet food, although made with the same ingredients.

She wants the first consignment to leave NZ in March.

But Kenyan government officials plan to block the shipment.

Its Director of Medical Services, Dr James Nyikal, said: "There is no way that the ministry can allow dog food mixture to be brought in for human consumption."

Drought, crop failures and massive food shortages in parts of Kenya have left millions of people without access to adequate food.

It is estimated that between 2.5 million and 3.5 million people are at risk of dying from famine if no immediate action is taken.

Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki has declared the famine ravaging more than 40 districts of the country a national disaster and appealed to international community to help alleviate the catastrophe.

1) It is a mix of mainly grain, that is very good for you. It happens to also be good for Dogs and is fed to them because it's not particularly tasty, but is very good for you. We're not Starving in New Zealand so we can be slightly more picky about what we eat.

2) It is perfectly fit for human consumption. As noted in the article, the woman who makes it eats it herself, as do her husband and children.

3) Most pet foods are perfectly fit for human consumption, the main difference is they are designed to provide for the dietarty needs of the animal they are intended for, as opposed to humans. In addition many of them do not taste particularly good.

4) Looking at a choice between starvation and eating what was intitally created to be feed to dogs, yet it can not only be eaten by humans, but is good for them- I think I'd be eating the 'dog food'.

And to John Munyes and all those other fucks- why don't we ask what the people who are starving want, instead of overweight bourgeoise shits who don't know the meaning of hunger, turning away what is perfectly good food.

[FULL METAL JACKET]

What an insult. The people are already feeling low, that's like rubbing salt on the wounds.

[which doctor]

Hey, when you're starving, food is food.

[Rockfan]

Yeah I've said it before and I'll say it again, Huhu grubs taste dam good, if your hungry, really hunrgy, you eat anything. The only problem is that I heard that it would be a dramatic change in the deit of the children, I heard her on the radio the other day and afterwards a nutritonist rang up and was talking about all the possible side effects. She is a total bleeding heart though. It is sad though, the weastern world has the capacity to feed these people but well it's just not in there intrests. And please don't let this affect your opinon of NZ, remember she owns the compony, shes just a bit of a wannabe Bono by the sounds of it.

They are eating mixtures that are mostly dirt, and they're going to be demeaned by something associated with dog food? Food that is nutritious?

If I were John Munyes, I would publicly say the same thing to keep integrity, but at the same time take the offer. It is low, I have to admit, but die or eat?

[travisdandy2000]

:angry: Um, yeah people are starving, but dog food! That is just imperialism at its finest. Look at the benevolent capitalist supplying free dog food to the starving! While the U.S. consumes 95% of the worlds wealth, and has commercials everday to help epeople who have eaten too much cake and now have a tummy ache. "Here is some dog food, love us!, we throw away a couple tons of good food every hour, but we do have dog food!" Fuck That!

[Scars]

Did you even read my post? It's perfectly fit for human consumption and is actually good for you. I have eaten dry dogfood (the biscuits...it's suprisingly common in rural areas because all the human food is in the house...an hour that way) and I'm fine. Tux dog biscuits are actually quite nice. Wet food on the other hand, is not nice (that was a dare, not free will).

If it was not initially invented for feeding to dogs would anyone have a problem? No, people would be praising her. It's fucking sensationalist bullshit, that's all.

And dead humans can not stage a revolution.

[Janus]

Very interesting, I wasn't aware that there was a famine in Kenya but dog food? Can't we do better than that? Like others have already mentioned, dog food is not detrimental to your health so the main factor here is pride. It seems wrong for the government officials to decide rather than the actual citizens themselves. However, I admit that it is "low" but I don't think that a malnourished and starving person will really care as long as they have food to eat.

[Rockfan]

And the UK, USA, Germany, Austraila, France, Canada, South Africa etc are doing ummmmmmmmmmm JACK SHIT TO STOP THIS FAMINE!!!!!!!!!!!!! As I've said the weastern world has the capity to feed everyone, everywhere but do they, NO. This bleeding hearts doing better than all you guys siting here complaining, how about you go ouit into the desirt for a couple of mouths with nothing, I think you'ed eat some dag food after that!!!

Are you talking to me? Because I've been in support of eating the food.

[Rockfan]

No just everyone else whos moaning dude.

[Hiero]

While it is fit for consumption for the average human, on the news report a doctor said that there is a problem that young starving Kenyan's can not consume the food.

[Entrails Konfetti]

Why doesn't Drummond just convert some of her profit into better foods?
Why doesn't any other countrys millitary run a food-drop?

You think that Christian Missonaries, and charities would be jumping all over this situtation--makes one wonder where all the proceeds go to.

[painted for war]

you have to be a real jerk to offer starving people animal food.
this is the kind of shit some asshole rich kid would do to a homeless guy.
not only that, but you have to be a total dickhead to just say "meh, food is food and they're starving", show some fucking respect for another human being who's in need and give them actual food, not a doggy biscuit.

Now If a government offered dog food, then yes I would be outraged, but this women owns a dog food compey, shes probly just doing it to get some publicity and increase sales. And shes not offering it, shes sending it 42 fucking tons of it. Just stay there in your armchair dude, she may not be commie but atleased shes doing something.

[Tekun]

Personally, I am opposed to the food which they are being offered
People living in capitalist countries (US and Europe) throw away hundreds of pounds of human food which they no longer desire at shopping centers, schools, and at home
Americans and Europeans have enjoyed an abundance of food for many years
Yet these states can't seem to offer Kenyan's a small fraction of their abundance?

Instead, they just sit and watch while some woman concocts some dog food mixture and labels it safe and healthy for human consumption :angry:

In this instance, blame falls both on Kenyan and African mismanagement/corruption and the international communities apathy in response to the dire condition of these people

But to get back to the issue, the offer of human friendly dog food is psychologically humiliating and it degrades those people to the level of animals
When I help out a homeless person, I don't give him dog food, I give him human food, I treat and regard him as my equal, and since he is my equal he deserves the high quality food that I am able to enjoy
In addition, this type of food is alienating them from humanity
They are giving them an unequal imitation of human food that seperates them from humanity (bkuz no one else is consuming this food), and since they are seperated from humanity through their consumption of subhuman food, they are therefore subhuman

I think that the money which she used to study and create this mixture, could of been better used to buy corn, water, milk, bread, and other foods for these hungry people

By giving them anything less than human food, they are degrading their status as humans and hindering their pride as equal men-women-children(by allowing them to rely on subhuman food)

Just my opinion

[rioters bloc]

i guess the thing here is that this is one individual who doesn't actually have access to the tonnes and tonnes of food thats wasted daily by corporations and by us. its all very well to say, why should she give them dog food when theres human food out there being thrown away by first-worlders, but the two actually arent necessarily subtitutes for each other. obviously, waste is a massive issue which needs to be tackled and there are organisations working on that, but this is one indivdual who saw a dire circumstance and decided to take an action that she felt would be beneficial and, more to the point, was immediate.

i'm not entirely sure if she does own the means of production and is therefore a capitalist, all it says in the article is that shes a dog food maker. she could be rich; she could not be. perhaps her mixture is one which could have been wasted anyway and she saw this as a better option than just throwing out several tonnes of it. i agree that there are better alternatives than sending over dog food mixture, and if she could have utilised those alternatives than perhaps she is just projecting her colonial mindset. but the thing is we don't know her situation, and people are actually dying. funnily enough. i do think that dignity should be preserved whenever possible, but i also think that the threat of starvation presides it. obviously the system is fucked, and obviously we need to change it. but we shouldn't be so arrogant as to put down others attempts to help people now.

its easy to criticise people for feeling 'superior' but when it comes down to it, theyre feeding 160 starving children for 2 months and we're not. and as someone else said, its easy for bourgeois politicians to refuse food on behalf of a nation in the middle of a famine, considering that theyre still going to get 4 square meals a day regardless.

In my opinion the starving people should eat the dog food. Remember the old proverb about living to fight another day. The most important thing right now is to feed these poor souls that are suffering from the pangs of hunger. Then kill the capitalist pigs who have forced them to resort to this undignified expedient.

and then eat them, instead *nods*

[Jadan ja]

If there is a danger for me to starve to death and someone offers me a dog food, I would certainly eat it, but I would be very, very, very, very insulted. In other words, a person who wants to send starving people dog food, should certainly not be prevented if dog food can save lives, but that does not justify not selling the dog food and then buying human food and then sending it to starving people.

The person who wants to send them dog food really only wants to advertise the food and does not care at all how insulted will people be (she probably doesn't care about how will they fell since, for her, they are on the level of dogs). Other possible explanation is that she is really stupid.

I understand the reaction of Kenyan politicians (I don't think it is justified and I don't agree with it), since this sends a message that Kenyans deserve dog food and they, as politicians, feel that their duty is to defend their country from such insults (as I said, I don't agree with them, defending human lives is in my view much more important).

Obviously a racist attempt to relate black people to animals.

[viva le revolution]

This is just another sign of imperialism and one of the most naked indicators of the position of the third world in contrast with the first world. The first world rich with the looted wealth of the third world, fat with stolen resources, continuing policies of national oppression and containing the fattest populaions in the world, does not do anything about the suffering of the african people. Why would they? It's not like they are equal now is it?
This is a marked way of degrading a proud people. This shows that an african is no better than a dog! A people forced into starvation due to poverty imposed upon them by Military dictatorships, the looting of resources by the west and the cherry on the top is the lack of attention towards these issues.
This isn't about humantarianism, if it was the aid would be presented in the form of currency with which food required for human consumption could be acquired, or in the form of ready-made food packages or subsidized crops. Is this the case? absolutely not! what you have is a slogan:'if it was good enough for the africans, it's good enough for your canine.' This of course brings to mind the quote by Lenin,' " A capitalist is no more capable of self-sacrifice than a man is of lifting himself by his bootstraps."
As for the whole position, 'dog food is good enough beacuse i had it blah blah blah', good for you. but in the end it is meant for the consumption of dogs! It is only an insult and nothing else. The main onus is upon the brave and endlessly exploited peoples of the african continent to rise up and begin to change this sad state of affairs, to recognize the petty attitude of the first world and consciously attempt to once again to regain their lost dignity, where a natural disaster is not met with offers of dag scraps!
What many posters on this topic fail to realize is that this is not meant for the alleiviation of human suffering but for the maintenance of first world arrogance. A similar situation happened in Pakistan, where in response to the disasterous earthquake was met with loans charged at high interest and helicopters to transport relief supplies, at a rate of 14,000 U.S dollars per hour! This will not improve the situation, only bring the people of africa more under the feeling of inferiority and national degradation.
As to whether the offer should be accepted, the material need does exist for food, efforts should be made for the replacement of the aid towrads a form more appropriate, i.e food actually for human beings! However in all indications this will not happen. The african people should see this as an indication as to why they should make all efforts to obliterate foreign influence and economic domination.
However one indication of the ignorance and utter naivety of many posters is the high praise given to this capitalist oligarch as a 'great humanitarian' or 'better than the rest', i hate to burst your bubble of comfortable first world ignorance but there is no such thing as a 'good' or 'better' capitalist. Thsi is not about humantarianism but about advertising.

[Body Count]

^^^ I pretty much agree.

The bottom line is that something like this would never even be considered for a white country.

[Body Count]

As for whether or not they should take the food...sure, go ahead, as has been stated, its perfectly healthy.

But to deny the statement being made simply by the offer is wrong.

My problem is why not offer real food. It's a sick gesture to show the superioroty of imerpailist countries and their exploitation of the third world in my view.

Get off of your high fucking horse, those who say that it's mere racism and equating Kenyans to dogs.

It is demeaning. It is despicable. It absolutly offending -- but to not take it is stupid.

Look at the ingredients -- are you saying you've never eaten any of those? Do you not eat those regularly? So if the mixture is in a different recipe than the dog food -- as it is -- then the packets become the same as the food given to army soldiers, the same as any famine-relief food. The only problem people have with this stems from the simple fact that the idea was derived from a dog food recipe. Would it not be considered offensive if it was taken from a recipe for food for the ultra-wealthy, for that would be a slap in the face as well?

This is a civilian shipping enough food for 160 kids for 2 months -- 29,280 meals!

To refuse it on the basis that it is coming from a capitalist society is counterintuitive -- why let those most likely to fight for the revolution die because we are too proud to associate with capitalism? Do they also refuse capitalist health care? Why not take every cent we can get from them? Why not build our revolutionary soldiers on the nutrients they provide, even though the basic recipe comes from dog food?

If a gynecologist offers her services in a 3rd world nation, do they refuse her because they need AIDS treatment more? No, they accept whatever help is being offered.

You think that prison systems don't feed people? You think that colonialist just let entire populations starve? Did slave owners not feed, clothe, and shelter "their" slaves?

I said "those," implying you're not the only one I'm speaking to.


You think that prison systems don't feed people? You think that colonialist just let entire populations starve? Did slave owners not feed, clothe, and shelter "their" slaves?

So the best resistance you offer to this is that it would be better to die? "We'll really show them!" You are stating something completely inconsequential to the debate. Are you saying that the gesture shows a slavery-like meaning? This just begs the question further, "Yes, but the slaves had to eat to rebel, now didn't they?"

Stupid.


Obviously a racist attempt to relate black people to animals.

This is not the message, you half-wit. The message is "I work with raw materials, here are some, they will help you." The motive is humanitarian. The only reason you have a problem with it is because she is guilty of capitalism. There is no racist intent from her, it is the circumstance innocently surrounding a giving act that paints it as a capitalist, racist move. There is a difference. To send them dog biscuits or to not send food at all, that would be racist.

[Body Count]

Didn't take very long for you to resort to ad-hominem. Please excuse yourself of the "stupid" and "half wit" remarks, I have no quarrel with you.

The point I was making with the prisoner/slave thing is that feeding, clothing, housing, and even teaching people doesn't really say much of anything. View them as equal or spare the humanitarian crap.

If people cared, Kenya would be getting more then fucking dog scraps.

Sure, maybe she is doing something nice and all....but once again, no need to overlook the underlying elements of the entire matter.

[travisdandy2000]

Soory, it might sound bad but, if I was Kenya I would absoulutley decline the dog food! Better to die on your feet then to live on your knees. I do know what it's like to be hungry, and I have turned down handouts from cocky yuppies. It doesn't matter if it's technicly edible, it's the message it sends. Are your telling me this dog food company doesn't have enought money to send actual food?

[Hiero]

Thoose people who are proposing that they should accept and eat the food missed my post. A doctor has said that the children in Kenya will have no use for the food as they can not digust the food. They are not use to such rich food.

So if the accept the dog food, it would go to waste.

[pedro san pedro]

yes, but i'm sure that the lady didnt realise this when she made the offer, and was genuinely trying to help people.

i also think that it makes a fuck of a lot of sense for her to have approached this in the way that she did - using the resources that she had to produce a big fuck off gift rather than just giving a bunch of money to an aid organisation (the same org's that a majority of the people posting against what she has done dislike).

as RB mentioned, you have to view what she is doing and the amount of waste and inaction of the west as two seperate things. one lady who make sdog biscuits has no control over how much food a country wastes or over how much aid a country gives.

I'd be surprised if you had read the article or what I have said. They're not sending a box of biscuits or a bag of Iam's. They are sending mixed raw materials. I'll post it with bold this time.

So again, if they had sent no food, that'd be a racist action, and if she had sent high-end food (such as 5-star meals' ingredients) then that'd be a racist move. Or this woman could have shipped the actual dog biscuits. Or she could have put her money into an aid fund, one that usually pays its 'volunteers' and its 'directors' well. Or she could've taken the middle route, sending what she had, sending something that she herself eats, sending something that any starving African child would want and need. Oh wait, she did.

The point that it is not going to be digestable for the kids is unfortunate, but does not change the intent of the woman.

There fighting famine not a revoltuion. Even though it's only going to feed 160 people for 2 months or whatever, thats 160 people they don't have to worry about so they can concentrate on everyone eles. It's not some romantic tale, its live or die for these kids I would imagine.

[RABBIT - THE - CUBAN - MILITANT]

i dont see the problem with this ... k i can see it if it was taking place in some metropolis "giving "dog" food to homeless people” but that’s not the case ...and it would be despicable if it was some government or NGO doing this ..but its not .so what’s the problem?
