The Myth of 100% Complete Pet Food

1. People every day subject their beloved pets to monotonous, repetitive routines that they wouldn't allow for themselves. Yet, they unthinkingly pass these actions off as being beneficial for their pets. Every day Guest Posting people pour food from a box into their pet's bowl. Pets eat the same food day after day. This strange phenomenon is widely practiced by loving pet owners who believe they are doing the right thing. Why? It is convenient. But also, the labels indicate that these foods are "completely balanced," "100% complete" or have passed numerous analytical and feeding testing standards. Furthermore, manufacturers, and even veterinarians, counsel pet owners about not feeding other foods, such as table scraps, because of the danger of unbalancing these modern processed nutritional marvels. The power of the message is so great that pet owners en masse do every day to their pets what they would never do to themselves or their children - force-feed the same processed food at every meal. Think about it. It is difficult to comprehend the complexity of our world. It is difficult to comprehend, and it is impossible to know in its "complete" sense. To produce "100% complete, balanced and balanced" pet food, nutritionists and manufacturers must be 100% knowledgeable about nutrition. However, nutrition is not a completed science. It is, in fact, an aggregate science, which is based upon other sciences, such as chemistry, physics, and biology. But since no scientist would argue that everything is known in chemistry, or physics, or biology, how can nutritionists claim to know everything there is to know about nutrition, which is based upon these sciences? This is why the claim of a "100% balanced and complete" diet is absurd. It is the reason a similar venture to feed babies a "100% complete" formula turned out to be a health disaster. After enough disease and death had resulted in trying to reduce the human breast to an ornamental appendage, the government intervened and stopped the hype. Now doctors, nurses and purveyors of baby formulas cannot say these products are complete or that they are equal to or superior to breast-feeding. Good for the regulators. (They should have been proactive in preventing the disaster from ever taking root and not have just stepped in after too many deaths. Pet food regulators continue to ignore this warning. Instead of preventing pet food producers from claiming a processed food concoction is 100% complete, they in effect promote the death and disease-dealing specious claim by setting bogus standards that supposedly justify and authenticate the claim. They legitimize sloppy science in order to win consumer confidence. A manufacturer only needs to guarantee that the food's percentage of protein, fat, and other nutrients meets National Research Council donut 店店 standards. In the alternative, manufacturers can do feeding trials on caged laboratory animals for a few weeks, measure cursory blood parameters, and monitor growth and weight - as if survival after a few weeks on a food has anything to do with achieving optimal health and long life! Millions of pet owners trust their pets and follow the primrose path, while unknowingly condemning their pets for terrible degenerative diseases. Pet food regulators then spend the majority of their time harassing pet food companies with picayune requirements about terminology on packaging and where certain words must be placed on labels. Manufacturers must deal with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), FDA, Food and Drug Administration, AAFCO (American Association of Feed Control Officials) and 50 State regulatory agencies. All for naught. It was almost as if the whole police force were busy ticketing jaywalkers while completely ignoring the murders and rapes taking place in the alleys.
