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 by the millions pour food from a package 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? Certainly because it is convenient, but also because the labels state that such foods are "complete and balanced," "100% complete," or that they have passed various analytical and feeding test standards. Manufacturers and veterinarians advise pet owners not to feed their pets other foods due to the risk of unbalancing modern processed nutritional 港港 港港 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. In order for nutritionists and manufacturers to produce a "100% complete and balanced" pet food, they must first know 100% about nutrition. However, nutrition is not a completed science. Nutrition is an aggregate science that is based on other sciences such as biology, chemistry, and physics. 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. This is why a similar attempt to feed babies a 100 percent complete formula proved to be disastrous for their health. In that instance, after sufficient disease and death resulted from attempting to retire the human breast to a mere appendage of adornment, government stepped in and controlled the commercial 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. All a manufacturer has to do is guarantee that their percentage of protein, fat and the like meets National Research Council standards. Alternative options include feeding tests on laboratory animals in a cage for a few days, measuring blood parameters and monitoring growth and weight. Millions of pet owners trust their pets and follow the primrose path, while unknowingly condemning their pets for terrible degenerative diseases. The majority of pet food regulators spend their time harassing pet food businesses with picayune regulations about packaging terminology and where certain words should 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's like the entire police force busying themselves ticketing people for jaywalking while turning a blind eye to the murder and rape going on in the alleys.
