Is The Farmer's Dog worth it?
If you're thinking about giving your dog a delicious new diet, The Farmer's Dog is absolutely worth a try. When I tried the brand out for my two dogs, we (the dogs) loved it. Both my dogs gobbled up the food on a daily basis, it seemed to improve their digestion and the transition period was very mild.
The cost of The Farmer's Dog was comparable to our usual dry dog food, so as long as you have the freezer space, I highly recommend trying out The Farmer's Dog.
How to gradually transition your dog to The Farmer's Dog
One of my dogs is a little more sensitive to different foods and one is an actual garbage pail and will eat anything. When I started giving them new food from The Farmer's Dog, I transitioned them both very slowly so I wouldn't upset their digestive systems. I mixed about 80% of their original dry food with about 20% of the new food. I gradually added more of the new food and less of the old food.
After about two weeks, I had both dogs eating 100% new food from The Farmer's Dog and never had an issue.

McLaren Relying on Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri to Help It Sell Cars
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. With a four-car portfolio, a winning Formula 1 program and fresh ownership, McLaren Automotive is looking to lean into its successes to sell more cars. "We are clearly positioned as a performance luxury car brand, and we are probably most authentic as a branch with a racing heritage," McLaren Automotive's Chief Commercial Officer Henrik Wilhelmsmeyer told Newsweek from the grounds of the company's Carmel, California brand house during Monterey Car Week. "There are not many brands out there that come from the racetrack. We see many more brands coming from other angles and moving into racing," he continued. Though the car company is young (founded in 1985 as McLaren Cars, 2010 as McLaren Automotive), McLaren's racing heritage is strong. "I think the way how we look at things is probably slightly different than the more establish[ed] brands. It always goes back to where we are coming from, and this is racing. You clearly see a performance DNA in the brand and the product. And with our founding father, Bruce McLaren, I think that ethos that he brought into this company [is what] makes that brand so unique and loved by our clients today," Wilhelmsmeyer said. #4 Lando Norris (GBR, McLaren F1 Team), #81 Oscar Piastri (AUS, McLaren F1 Team), F1 Grand Prix of Hungary at Hungaroring on August 3, 2025 in Budapest, Hungary. #4 Lando Norris (GBR, McLaren F1 Team), #81 Oscar Piastri (AUS, McLaren F1 Team), F1 Grand Prix of Hungary at Hungaroring on August 3, 2025 in Budapest, Hungary. HOCH ZWEI/picture-alliance/dpa/AP Images Bruce McLaren started his race team in 1963. The racing operations unit has competed in Formula 1, IndyCar, Formula E, Extreme E and F1 Sim Racing, winning heralded races including the Indianapolis 500, 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Monaco Grand Prix. And this year the Papaya Orange team is winning nearly every Formula 1 race. Its driver Oscar Piastri sits atop the driver standings with 12 podiums and six wins (284 points), while its other driver, Lando Norris, is only slightly behind with 12 podiums and five wins (275 points). The next-closest competitor, four-time Formula 1 World Championship winner Max Verstappen, is in a distant third with just two wins and five podiums (187 points). Piastri and Norris aren't just winning races, they've won legions of fans. Norris has nearly 10 million Instagram followers and 26.4 million likes on TikTok. Piastri has about half that. McLaren Automotive has 11 million Instagram followers and 7.6 million likes on TikTok, numbers dwarfed by its racing division's 16 million followers and 214 million likes. "I think our Formula 1 team does currently a fantastic job for the brand. If you look back a few years, back before the Papaya era, how things have changed. You look at the Formula One races, and you see an ocean of Papaya, the fans supporting it, and it has helped to uplift the awareness for McLaren's brand, and the awareness that they are not only race cars, but there's an automotive business associated to it, and we see that that works incredibly well," Wilhelmsmeyer said. "We are very accessible as a brand, and we want to be approachable. And I think it's a bit of the attitude and mindset that we have. We don't want to be seen as an arrogant luxury brand. We are a luxury brand, but I would hope our behavior and attitude, also towards fans and customers, is a different one, a very approachable one, and very engaging," he continued. Wilhelmsmeyer sees that approachability as being key to McLaren Automotive's future success. He said: "Not the fact that we are a winning team, but the behavior that is demonstrated in the team. Look at Zak's [Brown, CEO of McLaren Racing] team. Look at the two drivers. They have a fair competition. There's no order saying this is the one, number one driver, and this is the number two driver. And I think it's this, this attitude and spirit that customers love, the fans love. And, it's a team spirit. [McLaren is] not an ego-driven brand or company dominated by one individual or a superhero. It's always this team spirit... There's this positivity that comes with the brand, and there is less of an arrogance towards things."

Lawyer argues Meta can't be held liable for gunmaker's Instagram posts in Uvalde families' lawsuit
LOS ANGELES -- A lawsuit filed by families of the Uvalde school shooting victims alleging Instagram allowed gun manufacturers to promote firearms to minors should be thrown out, lawyers for Meta, Instagram's parent company, argued Tuesday. Nineteen children and two teachers were killed in the May 2022 shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. The families sued Meta in Los Angeles in May 2024, saying the social media platform failed to enforce its own rules forbidding firearms advertisements aimed at minors. The families, who were present at last month's hearing, did not appear in court, with a lawyer citing the back-to-school season. Many plaintiffs attended the hearing virtually, he said. In one ad posted on Instagram, the Georgia-based gunmaker Daniel Defense shows Santa Claus holding an assault rifle. In another post by the same company, a rifle leans against a refrigerator, with the caption: 'Let's normalize kitchen Daniels. What Daniels do you use to protect your kitchen and home?' The lawsuit alleges those posts are marketed toward minors. The Uvalde gunman opened an online account with Daniel Defense before his 18th birthday and purchased the rifle as soon as he could, according to the lawsuit. He also owned various Instagram accounts and had an 'obsessive relationship' with the platform, at times opening the app more than 100 times a day, plaintiffs' lawyers found in an analysis of the shooter's phone. Meta attorney Kristin Linsley argued that the families provided no proof that minors, including the Uvalde gunman, even read the Daniel Defense posts on Instagram. She also said the posts didn't violate Meta's policies because they weren't direct advertisements and did not include links to purchase any products. Katie Mesner-Hage, representing the victims' families, said the defense's claim is 'fundamentally unfair,' as the plaintiffs don't have access to Meta data that would indicate whether the shooter encountered those posts. She added that if the content had landed on the shooter's feed, as the plaintiffs allege, then Meta 'not only knew about it, they designed the system so it would be delivered to him.' 'They knew more about him than anyone else on the planet,' she said. Linsley said content advertising firearms for sale on Instagram is allowed if posted by 'brick-and-motor and online retailers,' but visibility of those posts was restricted for minors under Meta's advertising policies from the end of 2021 to October 2022. 'This is not a playbook for how to violate the rules. This is actually what the rules are,' Linsley said. The plaintiff's team, however, showed a fake profile they created for a 17-year-old boy earlier this month, through which they were able to search Daniel Defense's Instagram account and see a post that included a picture of a gun, as well as a link to the gun manufacturer's website. When the link was clicked, the gun-maker's website opened, and the team was able to select a firearm and add it to their cart, all within Instagram's app — an experiment that refutes Meta's assertion that posts relating to firearms aren't visible to users under 21, Mesner-Hage said. Linsley said in her rebuttal that the experiment was done this year and not in 2021 to 2022, which is when the policy she described was in effect. The families have also sued Daniel Defense and video game company Activision, which produces 'Call of Duty.' Linsley said the Communications Decency Act allows social media platforms to moderate content without being treated as publishers of that content. "The only response a company can have is to not have these kinds of rules at all," Linsley said. 'It just gets you down a rabbit hole very quickly.' Mesner-Hage argued Meta is not protected by the act because social media platforms don't just host speech, but help curate it through its algorithms. Daniel Defense, she said, didn't have to pay for ads to get free access to Meta's analytical data through its business account on Instagram. That data shows the company which age bracket and gender engaged most with a specific post. 'Daniel Defense is not on Instagram to make friends. ... They're on there to promote their product,' Mesner-Hage said. 'It's not a paid advertisement, but I would struggle to describe this as anything other than an advertisement.' The lawsuit alleges that firearm companies tweaked their online marketing to comply with Meta's policies, including by avoiding the words 'buy' or 'sell' and not providing links to purchase, and that the social media company did not protect users against such strategies. Last month, lawyers for Activision also argued that legal proceedings against them should be thrown out, saying the families allegations are barred by the First Amendment. The families alleged that the war-themed video game Call of Duty trained and conditioned the Uvalde gunman to orchestrate his attack. Lawyers for the plaintiffs asked the judge to allow them to amend their lawsuit with the new information they presented Tuesday before ruling on the defense's motion. The defense claimed that was unnecessary, as the case would not have merit even with the amendments. The judge has yet to rule on Activision's motion and did not immediately rule on the Meta case.
