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. |
I do believe the dentist's website is free and open to anyone who wants to read it. Yes, he does rate foods according to the quality of the ingredients. Information about ingredients is important to a consumer in order to know what they are buying. If his opinion is that corn is a low value ingredient and someone else feels they want their dog to have corn then they certainly have the right to make that decision. You seem to be against people learning more about what is in dog food. Perhaps your food of choice didn't get a good rating? It does not take a scientist to find the definition of a food ingredient.
Sorry you think that dog nutrition is so much more scientific than human nutrition. Dog's bodies must be so much more complex than the human body!
The health care professionals I work with do send their patients to nutritionists. Yes, doctors send their patients to a person called a nutritionist that has much less education than the health care professional has, especially after they get a patient with diabetes, heart disease, or any of the many food induced diseases people suffer from when they eat processed foods. They then sadly return to the office because the nutritionist advised them to eat fresh fruits and vegetables and prepare healthy meals instead of fast food and products out of a box that they are accustomed to.
Dogs must have highly complex bodies made to exist on highly processed foods filled with preservatives and that can sit on a store shelf for months at a time. No wonder we need multi-billion dollar pet food companies to feed these complicated beings for us They don't need fresh foods at all.
