The-Truth-About-Pet-Foods

sun or creatures need the natural food that genetically matches them. But
we were supposed to hunt through libraries around the world for “peer
reviewed” articles proving dogs and cats require natural meat and vegetable
products, not things which they are not genetically matched to eat,
like ground Formica table tops, shredded carpet, crushed tile flooring,
dyes, herbicides, pesticides or used motor oil.
Help!
“FRESH MEAT” & “WHOLE INGREDIENTS”
The criminal-type provings (affidavits, third-party documentation) were
also required for us to say we used fresh meats (rather than just prerendered
dried meat ingredients), and whole ingredients (rather than food fractions
such as brewer’s rice, white flour, soy mill run, etc.). As you will see later
in this section, grocery shelves are lined with approved pet products with
claims which were obviously never so proven. Short of practically inviting
the AAFCO committee and regulators from every state agency into our
plant (we’d probably be responsible for five-star accommodations, firstclass
tickets and gourmet meals – which you can bet would have “fresh”
and “whole” entrees) – to watch our every move and verify every ingredient,
we were being prevented from truthfully stating what was in our products.
Now if we were saying something like our food “contains strychnine
at healthy levels,” I could see regulatory intervention. But how, even if we
were wrong, could “Fresh” or “Whole” – even in a regulator’s wildest
nightmare – create harm!
“ALIVE”
Living creatures require living foods. One way we accomplish this in
our dried pet foods is to enrobe the product after processing with active
enzymes and living probiotic (yogurt-type) cultures. To describe this we
wanted to state that these cultures were “alive.” But no, since the public
would be at such great risk (), regulators wanted us to do the “scientific
peer reviewed” do-si-do again.
Provide scientific literature proving bacteria are alive How are you
going to do that
