The thing is Premium Pet foods have little to no fillers, high quality human-grade ingredients (ie. meats fit for human consumption), etc. I'm not really crazy about any commercial pet food, but there are some premium foods I think are okay to feed if you want to stick with commercial food. |
Well, I have yet to find ANY pet food with little to no fillers, even those 'non-supermarket' brands named earlier...guess the search continues...
I understand what you mean, though. It’s funny, but the meaning of the actual word ‘organic’ as I always knew it to be was quite different from the way it is used now when referring to food. You can imagine my shock and confusion the first time I was informed that the corn I’d eaten all my life were not really “organic.”
I personally think that chickens are some of the nastiest, most disease ridden creatures alive living in some of the nastiest conditions imaginable by nature and you will never find a clean, sanitary, disease free chicken coup.
The fact that the organic food uses products and chicken meat from chickens who lived like that without ever receiving the first standard vaccination against things that can be passed on in their meat and eggs is enough to turn me off of organic foods altogether.
And as far as foods for people, do I want to eat the bugs and waste on the food, or the insecticide….hmmm…not a winning situation no matter how you look at it. Like I said earlier (hot dog weenies) I have to not put too much thought into what I’m eating or I’d starve to death.
(Random fact, the average chocolate bar contains 8 spiders….ewwww…)
