I may be way off base, but I seem to remember that rotating proteins may help prevent certain food allergies from developing. Some allergies are caused by prolonged exposure to an irritant, so switching their food up occasionally prevents them from being exposed too long to any one food. Please correct me if I am wrong. I would like to know how others feel about this.
