Exactly, so much of our knowledge of nutrition for animals comes from the farming industry. What were the goals to raising that prize pig? Farmers wanted healthy animals, that could survive to adulthood that could mate and produce healthy offspring. Putting on weight was a big plus because animals are sold by the pound. They didn't worry about pancreatitis, diabetes, and all the effects of being overweight. These goals aren't that bad for the food industry, but I think most of us want more than this for our pets. We want them to survive and thrive way past adulthood.
