You're right about that. I didn't mean the kind of overcooking involved in commercial cat food processing. I meant in the case of home cooking when the meat is just cooked until it's no longer pink inside and that's it. Processed commercial pet food is way overcooked.Originally Posted by coaster
The processing of fresh ingredients; i.e. commercial food production; does destroy a huge amount of natural nutrients. Why else would it be so heavily supplemented? When I was in college I worked summers in a packing plant. I know what happens to "food" in cans. There's no way to compare cooking and processing.
