I am confused as to why someone would not WANT to learn a better way. You know, this is a little off-topic, but when I was pregnant, my father-in-law popped off something to me about how we didn't do it that way or we didn't worry about things that you do and look, our boys turned out just fine (in reference to me no longer cleaning the litter box). Personally, I find this such a worn out excuse! LEARN, EDUCATE YOURSELF....why stick to the old way(s) when their is proof that there is now a better choice?
But hey....I was probably one of 'those' that you would have felt I nursed my skin kids longer than I should have (10 and 11 months old).

On the other hand sometimes we do need to take a step backwards.
As a child, we always had as dog that roamed the entire farm, came into contact with all sorts of animals and lived long healthy lives. they never had a shot, nor were they treaed for fleas or worms. And I don't recall them every having fleas or worms. And I might add, they were all fed table scraps and given milk to drink, straight from the cow.
