My original point, which you seem to always miss, was that it is not a terribly complicated issue. If we as humans can feed ourselves without a great deal of study we can also learn how to feed our pets without depending on a multi-billion dollar a year company to do it for us.
You choose to feed your pet whatever you wish. Why must you always denigrate anyone who has a different opinion than yours?
I know of vets that promote commercial dog foods as being the best to feed and I also know vets that promote home preparation of pet food. The subject has endless opinions. Everyone chooses what they think is best. I appreciate the dentist that puts information about pet food ingredients out for public viewing. It isn't rocket science to read ingredient lists and learn what those ingredients actually represent. It is more information than most consumers ever get from a dog food bag. But it is still just information that people can take or leave. Personally, I know a lot of people appreciate learning more about what is actually in what they feed their pets. |
And that's what you're wrong about. The dog food advisor DOES tell people what to feed their pets. He does it by selling his lists and by his dog food star ranking system. As far as denigrating others, that would be you in you constant agenda to undermine the good advice vets give to their clients. I am quite sure that your idea of human nutrition is completely different than mine. And yes, humans can feed themselves and they have high obesity and disease rates all the while stuffing themselves with fast food and such. Proper and scientific dog nutrition is more complicated than you make it out to be, and you simply don't even know what you don't know...or you wouldn't be listening to the dentist and his stars and nonsensical web information.
