in chemistry, or physics, or biology, how can nutritionists claim to know<br />

everything there is to know about nutrition, which is based upon these<br />

sciences This is the logical absurdity of the “100% complete and balanced”<br />

diet claim.<br />

Claiming that anything is 100% is like claiming perfection, total knowledge,<br />

and absolute truth. Has pet nutrition really advanced that far Does<br />

a chemist make such a claim A physicist Doctor<br />

Professor Did Einstein, Bohr, Pasteur, Aristotle,<br />

Plato, or any of the greatest minds in human history<br />

make such claims No. Has the science of<br />

pet nutrition advanced to the point where everything<br />

is known about the physiology, digestion and<br />

biochemistry of animals, or that everything is known<br />

about their food Certainly not.<br />

In fact, although nutrition is rapidly being developed as a science, it<br />

has always lagged behind the other sciences. This is in part because it is a<br />

field of study that has not stood side by side with others in universities.<br />

Rather, nutrition has more or less been considered an incidental branch of<br />

homemaking or some other applied field such as animal husbandry. Additionally,<br />

because of its almost infinite complexity, the science of nutrition<br />

is not easily developed.<br />

<strong>The</strong> fact of the matter is that the “100% complete” claim is actually<br />

“100% complete” guesswork. At best, one could say that such a claim is<br />

the firm possibility of a definite maybe.<br />

Each time regulatory agencies convene to decide how much of which<br />

nutrients comprise “100% completeness,” debate always ensues and<br />

A “100% COMPLETE” PROCESSED DIET REQUIRES:<br />

1. 100% complete knowledge of food.<br />

2. 100% complete knowledge of nutrition.<br />

3. 100% complete knowledge of #1 and #2 requires 100%<br />

complete knowledge of every science.<br />

Since #1, #2, and #3 do not exist...<br />

the “100% complete” processed diet is a myth.<br />
