Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | It looks like I'm alone on this, but I don't find this balanced or journalistic AT ALL. Rather, I find it vicious, sarcastic, immature, and vengeful. It reads *very* strange and mind-controlling to me....in other words, if this doesn't read like this person has an agenda, I don't know what does.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | To me, it's not just "the writer's opinion" that matters here, it's the manner in which he expresses it that makes it sounds very immature, angry, emotional, and overly biased to one side. When I read a real opinion article, I prefer the writer to maintain a professional distance to the subject so there can be some objectivity and balance. I don't see any objectivity here at all...mostly just weird/bizarre anger or something. I mean "tendrils of woo", "the furry lovelchild of Deepak Chopra" and "empire of bullsh*t"....really? Not the kind of writer whom I feel maintains an open mind...quite the contrary in fact. It's just plain disrespectful and disdainful as well, and I find that kind of "journalism" highly distrustful.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | While DFA can't be called a peer-reviewed, fully scientific, or even fully factual source -- many, many people actually find it very helpful as a jumping-off point for their own education, if you know what I mean. It can be a helpful place to just get listings of ingredients or whatnot. When I was first learning about dog food in general, I actually found the site extraordinarily helpful. I haven't used it now in years and years, but still, I think it's impassioned a lot of dog owners to learn more and explore more about dog food/nutrition in general and to me, that's a positive thing. People who don't have time/passion to learn more will still, at least, often end up w/ their dogs on a better food than, say, Ol Roy's after reading DFA. And for those who are inspired to learn more than what DFA actually represents, kudos to them for questioning what DFA is totally about, and then learning even more.

LOL....I never said that it was a journalistic article. This is a blog post. If you would have looked at the very top of the link it gives the name of the blogger. Her Blogger name is dogsandehtics. I enjoyed her opinions pretty much the same way that many people follow the Dog Food Advisor and his opinions. His site is just a blog as well and is also very biased by his opinions of the subject of dog foods. Let me also add this to the mix, there are plenty of other things posted on YT and elsewhere that are mocked up to look like something they are not. For example the Press Release (paid advertisements) that have been posted as "breakthrough" science advances.

| I love watching Dr Oz, just to see what craziness he is supporting for the day. If you took and did every non evidence supported thing he recommends you would need a 25 hour day. TV station 4 in NY just reported on the letter to Columbia. It seems a shame that he would ruin his reputation as a renoun cardiac surgeon with non supported practices for fame or profit. IMO
