I'm just curious, cuz I'm honestly clueless...
People act as if meat by-products in cat food is like the plague itself. But why are by-products bad? I mean...don't HUMANS in certain cultures eat chicken feet and stuff? Haven't they been doing that for like...centuries? And don't many odd human foods have byproducts? I eat anything the hell I want...hot dogs, pork rinds, processed lunch meats, slim jims, spam...whatever, I'll eat it. According to my physician, i'm in perfect health. (And i don't even work out too often.)
So what's the deal? Why the absolute horror at feeding cats food with by-products?
I don't even know if my kitty has eaten by-products. She's eaten Purina One and Bench & Field Holistic for most of her life. Not sure if they contain by-product or not.
These days, she eats renal foods from Purina, Eukanuba, IVD, Waltham, Hill's, IVD, and Hi-Tor. Not sure if they have by-products either...
So seriously...should I take her off of anything with by-products? Why?
