The "Natural" Fallacy - Page 2

My cats are partically raw (commercial raw though cuz I don't know how to prepare it myself).

Thixton's book is less than $15 on Amazon... make it a Christmas gift to yourself (or better yet, your kitties). 

While you're waiting for your book to arrive, you can watch a documentary called “Pet Food: A Dog’s Breakfast” that aired in Canada, available through several venues, including the blog "Poisoned Pets" (scroll down to the bottom of the page).

And here's something available online by Ann Martin: Why Is the Pet Food Industry Killing Our Pets?, an article by Born Free USA: What’s Really in Pet Food, and another article by Purely Pets: What's in your Pet's Food?.

I almost forget - Thixton has a website, TruthAboutPetFood.com that I highly recommend you regularly check for recalls and other detailed pet food-related info.

If you google "What's in my pet's food?", you'll get pages and pages of information, but I would really recommend one of the books, as they are more thorough and go into details such as the connections between AAFCO, the FDA and the pet food industry - stuff you might find very interesting.

Best regards!

Greetings, AbbysMom. Can you cite an example of where it got *too personal? I'm new to the site and am curious what you deem to be too personal. Thanks. When I debate I like to keep it on-topic and avoid personal attacks (Ad Hominem). 

Also, this is just a debate and in my view it's pretty normal to have some back and forth like this. I feel everyone has been fair so far and would hate to see this thread closed prematurely. We're just adults discussing a topic because we care about our cats, and perhaps bystanders might learn some things. 

Thanks,

Max
