The-Truth-About-Pet-Foods

All life from the beginning of time has been sustained by eating the fresh
raw natural foods from the natural environment.
Natural real foods are the foods that are inextricably linked to the life
they support. There are subtleties in an apple, a carrot, a filet mignon that
we only begin to understand. A simple potato contains over 150 chemically
distinct entities, not just starch. 1 The modern processed diet is the
“new guy on the block” and certainly cannot lay claim to being true food.

Life forms have spent eons adapting to natural foods, thriving on their
nutrients and developing protective mechanisms against toxins. To suddenly
consume the new modern processed concoctions presents to the
body new chemicals, toxins and altered nutrients to which it has not had
time to adapt. We, and our pets, are therefore part of a giant experiment,
the results of which perhaps only our grandchildren will fully know.
Evidence demonstrating the superiority of the natural archetypal diet
over the modern, purified, fractionated, processed fare is compelling. For
example, studies by Dr. Pottenger over 50 years ago showed the
