“UNIQUE”<br />
When we stated our products were “unique,” regulators said that was<br />
a no-no. <strong>The</strong>y argued that because our label listed ingredients like in<br />
other pet foods, there was no uniqueness. But get this. Why do our<br />
labels appear this way Because regulators force us to name our ingredients<br />
the same even though they are not (see Chapter 7, pages 25-26).<br />
Aside from this, our formulations are totally unique (regulators have<br />
no idea what they are since they cannot force manufacturers to reveal this<br />
proprietary information), and our nutrient sparing packaging and processing<br />
are unique.<br />
Go to the grocery some time and see whether other approved pet<br />
food products get to say things like “special,” “best,” “premium,” “superior,”<br />
or the like, all terms synonymous with unique.<br />
“FORBIDDEN INGREDIENTS”<br />
When we tried to incorporate some special nutrient dense ingredients,<br />
regulators said they were unapproved.<br />
Examples include:<br />
POLLEN – even though it is impossible to eat plant foods without<br />
eating pollen. Additionally, pollen can be found in grocery stores and has<br />
been consumed by people and animals for eons. It is, in effect, a plant<br />
kingdom egg and as such contains almost every nutrient known. 1<br />
SPIRULINA – available in stores and even consumed as a staple by<br />
some cultures. It too contains essentially every nutrient known. Regulators<br />
evidently feel vitamins and minerals should come from “approved”<br />
chemical factories rather than from real natural foods. 2<br />
