| Don't get me wrong, I'm a scientist, and I don't believe that properly studied and regulated GMO's are inherently evil or harmful. However, I don't like my intelligence insulted by armchair psychologists with an obvious agenda. And that takes me back to the the OP's post #1 of this thread. Although I agree that the websites and people mentioned in the post are not scientific and could be providing bogus or harmful information, the post does not provide PROOF of this--instead, it is a running insult, much like the GMO article I just analyzed. The author needs to provide examples of what they are talking about. Let me give an example. In another thread, an OP provided a list of dog foods that should be avoided, along with a list of ingredients that make those dog foods undesirable. A quick google search on the various ingredients (examples: menadione, grapeseed oil, powdered eggs, gluten, chicken byproduct meal) can easily bring up a list of scholarly and reputable sources that dispute the harmful effects of these ingredients. The OP on that thread provided the link to the website that carries the article (Healthy-K9.com | "Experts in keeping your dog living healthier & happier for longer"), and if you go to that website and read a few of the articles, it's easy to see right off that the bat that there is *something* wrong about the articles being posted. Example: the lead article is http://healthy-k9.com/dog-breeds-i-z . Many of the "breeds" listed aren't breeds at all, but rather "designer dogs" like Poogle, Poo-Shi, Poovanese, Pugapoo, etc. Another article (The Recipe for Terrier Tuna Egg and Cheese Supreme | Healthy-K9.com) links to a recipe for Terrier Tuna, Egg & Cheese Supreme, which besides containing the supposedly dangerous eggs, also contains a high fat content due to oil packed tuna, and bread crumbs which contain gluten. In other words, they're posting a recipe for a high fat treat that contains ingredients that they criticize elsewhere on the website. I would not trust the Healthy K-9 website, but I'm giving you reasons WHY I don't trust it. I'm not perfect, but I will always try to give reasons why I don't trust websites or "experts" from now on. |

Many world-famous Doctors of Veterinary Medicine and published Dog Care Experts universally agree any dog that eats commercial dog food is at a much higher risk of dying prematurely and by the time symptoms are noticeable, it's often too late to prevent an agonizing death except by lethal injection. WARNING: If you continue to feed your dog commercial dog food, death-by-disease is practically guaranteed! You must find an alternative and it doesn't have to mean spending more money. There are a lot of scare tactics here, and not a lot of evidence, so I'll just leave it at that. And yes, the website is selling a product. Last edited by pstinard; 04-28-2015 at 08:49 AM. | |

All I can say if that if it was not for the email notifications I would have never even seen what was said about me since that member has been on my ignore for years. I personally don't have time for nonsense and have too much going on in my life to worry about silliness.
