Such decisions should be based on nutritional studies, not genetic studies. |
@ the bolded part, I understand now. I didn't comprehend it that way, that the author was justifying adding starches...told u I'm not smart loll! I feed my guys a grain free diet bc they don't do well w/certain grains like oatmeal & incorporate fresh protein like boiled chicken breast & salmon sometimes. But don't the food companies already add a lot of starches in some of the kibbles already...
