Feed and Toss Pet Bowls

A major pet supply company whose products I usually like very much has come out with a line of Feed and Toss Pet Bowls. Each time I see them in the catalog I think of how wasteful it is to use a pet dish once and toss it. It seems to me we are past that luxury in today's world where resources are becoming scarce, and landfills are pushed beyond capacity. In my case, I feed at the least, two dogs, twice a day. That would be a total of 1460 bowls a year in the trash. Is it just me, or does that seem excessive?

I can see the convenience on a road trip, where washing facilities are hard to find. However, the bowls are not advertised as travel bowls. They are advertised as every day feeding dishes that are thrown way after each use in order to avoid germs etc. Hum. I think I will have to write this company a letter. In so many other ways, they make wonderful products. This is just an ill-advised direction for them, in my opinion.

Let me know if I am just missing something here.
