Pet Fooled

A must see for anyone -- Especially pet parents, you may think you're feeding the best for your pet - but you have no idea. Trust me, you wanna watch this film.

Some people are very passionate about their pets. When it comes to training and food, some people can come across looking like zealots, with information looking like it's based more on beliefs than on facts. What makes this documentary interesting is that it helps teach the viewer some of the history of the pet food industry, how certain products have evolved and come into being, and how to read labelling on pet food packaging so that you can pull out the information you need to make an informed decision, and (perhaps more importantly) to identify the BS terms pet food manufacturers use to present their products as being more than what they actually are. For every vet that presents one idea, there will be another vet that will claim that said activities are dangerous because of x, y, z. Unfortunately that means that the onus is on pet owners to find vet that they trust the opinions of to help them to make informed decisions on what to feed their pet(s). This documentary (along with The Gruen Transfer's episode on Pet Food) should be essential viewing for all pet owners, especially given that the Pet Food Industry is not regulated at all and thus they can say what they like on their labels.

I watched this 2 years ago and ended up switching my dog to a boutique food that is now all the rage to feeding dogs. The food industry is a multi billion dollar industry! There's no control and science behind all these dog food companies and dogs are now being diagnosed with DCM! Please do your research and save your dogs life. What may seem healthy for us to eat is not necessarily good for your dog. Don't be pet fooled into all the marketing!

Human nutrition is not understood. A 19th century classification glorified by half baked studies. Each nutritionist will belong to some sort of church and support the excesses in one category and the minimization in all others. And overall all apply 3rd century Christian morals: penitence for your pleasure.

Now, pets are far less important. When every aspect of human health leads to a new medical specialization, for pets it's hard to find a vet for reptiles for example, never mind finding a doctor for kidneys or a orthopedist.

And in all this ignorance, a journalist has enough moving space to get to the favorite subject of the conspiracy theory: how "they", the "capitalists" are some sort of demoniac force out to kill anything you care for just for the sake of the unholy "profit". Meaning back to ignorance and overall 3rd century understanding of the world of some illiterate crowds in the Middle East.

Your dogs and cats are carnivores. Feed them scrambled eggs and any cooked meat. Do not trust your loved one to any can or bagged food. You do not know the pesticides or what kind of ingredients they are putting in the item. The FDA = Federal Dimwitted Asshats say kibble is healthy for dogs and cats. Lies, nothing has been tested for their tested health needs. Truly love your pet and feed them meat and scrambled eggs. My 4 year jack russell has thrived under my meat only routine for him. The vet is amazed how spry and healthy he is and teeth, breath, stool and coat are just wonderful to see! Give it a try!
