I agree with you on this point. I should have not said it was poor science, I should have said it was a poor review of the study. This happens all the time, a journalist wants to review a scientific study and has no background in science, and they take great liberties with what the study actually found in order to make the article “newsworthy”. This in turn makes people not trust science.
There’s a huge difference between high in fat and high in calories, dog food is high in calories, but it’s nutritious, and the calories aren’t empty. In my opinion, this is true of the bullysticks, with over 79% being protein, and 13 percent water, most of the calories are coming from protein so they aren’t empty calories that you see in most dog treats. My dogs work so hard to take off an inch, I think they are using a lot of calories as well.
