Further, if commerce had things their way, society would be enclosed<br />

within walls containing only one-way valves where their food gadgets come<br />

in but no thinking can come out. Better yet, we and our pets should be<br />

strapped to the dinner table with stomach tubes coming direct from the<br />

factory and money conveyors going back. Actually, the AAFCO ingredient<br />

list has closed the loop even more completely with approval of feces<br />

and garbage as food. Tubes could run to “eat” and “exit” ends in a nice<br />

tidy closed circuit direct to and from industrialists.<br />

As much as supplemental independent grocery store feeding is cautioned<br />

against, there must surely be some evidence of damage from this<br />

feeding practice. But other than occasional reports of problems brought<br />

on by feeding large quantities of cooked bones, or meat only, or liver only,<br />

or fish in excess, there is no such evidence. In 17 years of medical practice<br />

I did not see one such problem.<br />

Of course, ridiculous excesses of anything can cause problems. Even<br />

oxygen and water can kill if overdosed. But feeding fresh foods, in variety,<br />

can cause only health – not disease. If you believe that the natural<br />

instincts of your companion animal mean anything, offer some clean, raw<br />

liver or meat and observe. Case closed.<br />
