this is a commercially available raw food diet this is what i am i'm also going to give the boys in a. great 1st approach. is . very dire. what time is it. first. so there's a problem in the pet food industry and most pet owners aren't aware that there's a problem and unless you have an interest in digging deeper and finding out what those issues are you can go through your whole life eating the exact same food assuming what you're doing is healthier pet and once you start digging the evidence becomes overwhelming that the industry has significant issues. the human animal relationship is deeply embedded in our society. it is estimated that 80000000 dogs are in the united states with 96000000 cats.
4:31 am
americans alone spin an estimated $60000000000.00 on pet expenses every year and that number is growing exponentially. it's always a 1st thought the buy something you're. something that will make them happy and live a healthy why we give them exercise clean water and lots of love. we've always purchased food from a grocery store or a pet food store that provided convenience the promise of nutrition in familiarity with the brand. the industry at large survive for nearly 100 years without a single thought from consumers as to what was going into the pet food. that all changed in 2007 when a toxic ingredient made its way into pet food killing thousands of pets nationwide . used as a fertilizer in asia and. also has several industrial commercial uses including
4:32 am
a component of kitchen utensils and soy the association between melamine in the kidneys and urine of cats that die and the melamine that was in the food they consume is undeniable additionally melamine is an ingredient that should not be in that food at any level. following the 2007 recall one central question began to resonate among consumers. what are our dogs and cats actually supposed to eat it's confusing because the pet food industry is telling us what to feed our pets more based on what they want to sell us than what's necessarily good for the pet she is old bro when phrase about mary and now an author and her new book is called their war yell treatment please welcome dr barbara well good morning a good day thank you so much for being here so let me ask you this what are the things that we are giving them that we should do and then what should we be given
4:33 am
that we are so no corn no wait no so way after many years of r. and d. we have found that corn is still the best available source of carbohydrates when processed and refined properly those are the things that cause overweight diabetes arthritis chronic skin infections allergies things like that that's the precursor for a lot of that if you're feeding for nutrition and they're eating a lot of those things that mess with the body they just don't stay healthy let me ask you this doc there are those the things that you find in dogs that are here talking to people who are giving table food to know it's and on food. during the war there was a moratorium on using the metal cans for canned food so they said you can't use metal cans for dog food anymore you have to use that for ammunition. somebody said we need to make the die. dog food something they could put in
4:34 am
a paper bag and that's how they did it and nobody thought at that time that making a kibble and eventually the way that we process it now could ever be a help detriment to the dog. now because of the way that the world is corn and wheat have become so subsidized and so chain it's a super cheap way to make a food for somebody who can't say no it's a good thing there's definitely an epidemic of problems now in animals that i don't think we've seen anything like it in in history every animal that comes in to see me they'll say oh they're basically healthy but the list of problems is immense so it's not that they're healthy they're actually suffering from so many many maladies a lot of the same maladies that we see in people we have animals that have you know diabetes and arthritis they have auto immune disorders they've got allergies and part of the reason for that is because we are actually creating these problems it's
4:35 am
a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to very simple problem of diet. and. i have heard in china for the 12. to 12 years old you know you don't know 12 year old you know why you know the 12 years old because your parents gave you excellent food if you put this down it was like the arrows just right on it absolutely the best and i can imagine they're so excited about it and it's gone. and i worry about them eating raw food and then liking me no i do not. but if because the fact is. there aren't any fashion thing ever. i think raw food is is weird to a lot of people when i 1st mention it to people they sort of say. raw food i have
4:36 am
to feed raw food to make my diet healthy like are you crazy and i well you know you don't have to do it it'll make a difference in making huge difference. one of my hobbies and passions is wildlife rehabilitation. this is her did. you see the current. i have been fascinated with nature and life something can remember. i became a license to wildlife rehabilitator when i was 14 and i knew that i would have a life long career helping animals so when i was 14 i heard about a woman that had tremendous success with wildlife rehabilitation your name is barbara harvey and she was an who are kind of concent and i called her and i said barbara my name is karen bakker and 14 years old and i want to know how you became
4:37 am
so successful long story short she invited me to her home in her account wisconsin she lives in a beautiful like cabin during the winter months and she lives in a teach me on 13 acres during the summer months she invited me to live. on her 13 acres and see how she rehabilitates cox eagles i was and felt barbara has the best success rate in the country with raptors and the reason she has such and success she feeds biologically appropriate all brought living mice rabbits rodents to those animals to be able to help the body recover from injury. so when i went to veterinary school years later and i sat to these nutrition courses and when they gave me the laminated chart that told me what food i should feed with what disease process things did not add up. before i went to vet school. i worked for years and. the most important
4:38 am
thing i think i learned from that is every species has its own requirement each species must eat what it is supposed to eat it's developed evolved to have a specific diet that keeps it healthy. animal has its own biologic requirement for certain nutrients a species appropriate diet for worms is dirt. let's say for hummingbirds would be nectar you can't feed earthworms nectar and you can't feed hummingbirds dirt both of those animals would simply die it gets pretty confusing with dogs and cats however because dogs and cats are nutritionally much more resilient than other species and what that means is that we can nutritionally abuse them for lack of a better term and they don't die immediately they just have the overall vitality decline and overall degenerative changes take place in their bodies from feeding them food that are not biologically appropriate cats being obligate carnivores have
4:39 am
to consume meat to be able to thrive they do not have a biologic requirement for any type of carbohydrate very high protein require a very high moisture requirement and a moderate fat requirement cats originally we thought were domesticated to guard the grain race because cats don't consume green cats consume ice to consume the grain and so by domesticating cats we assume that there was a mutually beneficial relationship we do know in the last 100 years since we have produced cat food on the market that cats have experienced significantly more kidney disease and we know that they have experienced obesity. failure and diabetes at a much higher rate and certainly we need to begin evaluating what role nutrition has in some of those degenerative diseases kidney disease is the number one killer of cats and we know that asking cats to process and entirely do you hate rated food such as kibble can be very detrimental to kidney health dog. evolved from the gray
4:40 am
wolf and we know that dogs came generally out of the order carnivora which means they're carnivores in 1903 the international society as a logic nomenclature redefined canis lupus familiaris as just these are the people that define what category what taxonomy animals fit into and why this society concluded that dogs were genetically identical to wolves they shared 99.9 percent of the d.n.a. we know that geno typically the genome type the d.n.a. is identical to what has changed over the last 2 to 3400 years is the phenotype phenotype is the jacket which is what that's look like we have bald dogs dogs of white fluffy hair blue eyes dogs with crazy tufts of hair on their body and no hear anywhere else bekele dogs short legged dogs double coated dogs we've created these fantastic varieties of breeds because we like diversity and what we see despite the
4:41 am
fact that we have bred dogs to have certain characteristics we have not bred out of them there cain is lupus d.n.a. so yes just as you can have brown hair blonde hair or you can have blue eyes or green eyes brown eyes your nutritional requirements as a human being remain the same despite the fact that you look vastly different depending on what your d.n.a. dictates. you are no offense but you no longer a young woman in fact you are one of the last living survivors of the nazi else
4:42 am
asked i'm aware of it. for a day. all your life. you can never forget there can now auschwitz was a daily life to be inhaled because you would never believe that one. can go to as an operating cost free 32 years of milk and be very bad at all seems a lot to offer by you decide to make it right when i get out on the farm saw you oh well you take my son to her next you so he can listen and hopefully be blessed by her experience. i. found i was. time to. eat last time.
4:43 am
i saw. the major companies criticize raw diet warning consumers against the hazards of feeding romita pets claiming it can make your animal sick. however those companies who repeatedly criticize feeding world diet have yet to produce a single study to provide any substantial evidence to support their claims. the problem with the types of research studies that you're describing they would go at least 7 day to 10 years in length before you would get a definitive answer within our. legal requirements and framework said it's not f.d.a. has responsibility to do such studies the research has not been done on raw foods
4:44 am
not because there is an interest but because the $1000000.00 it takes to fund that particular research simply isn't there now integrative in areas are working on that but trisha veterinarians will say and tell we see the research we're not interested in recommending this particular food for dog and cat owners we just don't believe it's safe and healthy the frustration is is that we don't have clinically proven research demonstrating that dry and can foods are wildly healthier for pets as well . the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research since major pet food companies are involved with and have influence over vet student lack of education surrounding role diets 'd exist heavily among traditional vets when clients come to veterinarians have who have not been educated about raw foods at all and say i'm considering feeding my pets raw meat of course the logical conclusion is why there's a lot of bacteria in the all diets and it's kind of
4:45 am
a ticking time clock if you could harm them or why would you do that or it's risky i think we're all food as too much of the potential for negative side effects that it's just not worth it people's biggest question is there could be. pathogens or bacteria parasites within the food that could cause illness to pets when dogs eat role diets their feces their poop has a lot of bacteria. let's talk about. dogs if given. unity will eat. dogs and cats being carnivores are equipped to be able to process their evolutionary food source which is raw meat. all of their digestion has acclimated and has evolved to be able to process whole living unadulterated protein so from ripping and tearing their dentition is set up
4:46 am
to be able to process meat their stomach acid is very acidic in fact the ph of water which is highly acidic that stomach acid is in place to be able to neutralize pathogens or potential harmful bacteria that could be present in the food coming outside the pet food industry looks like the perfect industry there are beautiful packaging there are diets for every disease and disorder there's all kinds of different colors and futile pictures and if you look a little deeper unfortunately that isn't the pet food industry is all about. i've collected a few examples here and we're going to go over some labels but 1st example is the food that on the front says be strong meals fully prepared and bursting with flavor who doesn't want that in a pet food 1st a previous corn 2nd ingredient a soybean meal certain greeting is peace and bone meal for thing gradient is growing wheat followed by animal fat preserve the b a h a we can see they are the ha is the toxic preservative that should not be found in
4:47 am
any human or pet foods despite the fact that it is the 1st 3 ingredients are carbohydrates that are totally unnecessary followed by a totally toxic preservatives. not a park next we have a food that has one actually several packaging awards because it's so beautiful there are chunks of meat falling from the sky and i showing beautiful here of course here we have a nice array of radioactive colors that have been added in for you the consumer dogs and cats cannot see all these different colors this is added in because you get my cash it looks beautiful my pet would love that. but the amazing buzzwords like a full light. one can or doesn't want their pet to have a playful life this is just entirely a marketing 1st thing greeting at the ground yellow corn totally biologically unnecessary 2nd ingredient chicken by products meal totally rendered inappropriate in terms of quality to be nourishing your dog with turning green corn gluten meal
4:48 am
very allergenic totally unnecessary for think the whole wheat flour and then animal fat although this really looks to be beautiful and something you'd be interested in nursing or my recommendation is to avoid it over here and they have a special latte right to help with prebiotic fiber there's a lot of these patented words that are trademark words that companies will use to how kind of distorted their products have a something special in food. as a means of you coming back and buying it because other brands you're comparing it to doesn't have to help it's a good so good marketing on that behalf this particular food is b.l.s. quality if you are a goat. when you add up organic from rice organic only organic millet organic barley or get a grain storage forget it peas organic potatoes. portion of the ingredients in this particular food doesn't outweigh the organic chicken or the chicken mia
4:49 am
healthy really what are you supposed to say unhealthy the worst possible food in my opinion you could ever feature dog. number one ingredient beef by product. of fruit toast corn syrup what is byproduct byproduct is what's left over after an animal has been slaughtered and all the edible parts have been removed the criticism winds in the mystery of the meats being. what is quality quality is a term used when discussing how good or bad the world material that goes into the food actually ends whether this protein comes. from diseased animals euthanize animals rukh kill human food waste or processing the industry doesn't have to disclose the source of the in green aunt that doesn't prevent them from easily proclaiming that every ounce of their pets food is of the highest quality the issue is on the back of the dog and cat would bake it doesn't say own rendered terrible
4:50 am
quality protein it doesn't say that it also it way also can't lest legally grade a u.s.t.a. inspected mates so this leaves this giant gap for the consumer to have to fill and that void and it's wild they confusing the controversy with kibble exist because troy food is for we've of moisture when your animal each try to move their put in a permanent state of dehydration the quality insourcing of where the ingredients came from as kept secret in even if the in greensward perfect the manufacturing process to make end meat products shelf stable for extended periods is performed a dick chetry milly high temperatures have this creates to potent carcinogen to enter a cyclical means in a cruel amount however most companies do not disclosed to the consumer what temperature their foods or cook dat and they act does if the trace amounts of carcinogens pose no threat it was a row $9948.00 when veterinarian mark morris decided to create the 1st burst
4:51 am
correction petfood still recognizable today at a ton mark morse was critical of pet foods for lacking quality ingredients and he wanted to make a superior product back by scientific research he teamed up with canning manufacture burton hill to fulfill his vision the result became what we know today is science diet sold in vet meringue offs as all across the country but in 2013 the wall street journal reported hill so starting to see as profits decline because consumers no longer identified with their ingredients science diet has since refocused on rebranding their image as more natural creating new product lines and shying away from controversial in rendered ingredients the national renders association argues that they're providing a necessary role when it comes to the recycling of animal carcasses. if there wasn't anywhere to put the animal waste from the human food industry where would it
4:52 am
go in the earth in the air. in the ocean. it all has to go somewhere. we have a huge quality control problem meaning the quality of ingredients coming into the industry anything from potentially fabulous u.s.d.a. inspected human grade all the way down to entirely rendered which is every piece and part you could ever imagine actually probably don't even want to think about the final result is used to manufacture hundreds of products everything from so few channels and the fed foods cosmetics that the company is blending is recital degrading its together with synthetic by the mints and minerals to create a profitable quote complete and balanced diet that is then marketed to tell and in 100 years time we have successfully convinced an entire generation of pat lovers that why would you feed anything but dog food or cat food looking at the rules that
4:53 am
guide the pet food industry it's easy to see how they are set up to benefit the corporations over the consumer. the regulators have created special terminology for packages assuming that consumers would be able to guess what they mean any product containing the words dinner nugget or formula only have to contain 25 percent actual meat any product labeled with only has to contain 3 percent me furthermore the so-called flavor rule a levels for any protein to be listed on the back it may be flavored as. but in reality the back that contains the word flavor may contain little to no meat by using the key word flavor on the package the pet food could but does not have to contain any meat at all but it's acceptable for the package to contain an image of a fresh day in green panels do display percentages the protein percentages do not represent actual meat content in the product as protein can come from
4:54 am
a multitude of sources this raises the question if the average consumer knows that the terminology used on packages reveal the exact amounts of meats used in food trying to understand who exactly makes these rules and what their actual legal authority is leads to many different organizations the association of american feed control officials is a non-governmental organization they have a model bill that that sets the standards in terms of ingredients nutrient levels package labeling in terms of ingredients as well for pet food companies to abide by each year members of africa come together to update their official publication which defines each ingredient that's allowed to go into pet food. members of the major pet to companies attend the meetings as well below in their voice to be heard when it comes to what goes into pet food. so who is after i think if you look at our web sites we have some very clear statements about the fact that asco is not
4:55 am
a regulatory organization itself that's one thing important the 2nd is that after it doesn't approve products well we do is we deal with the ingredients in the scientific validation if you will of the ingredients that go into the food and then the actual claim that a manufacturer makes it is after all approved is probably not representing what but after itself would say f.d.a. has worked closely with after 0 on the regulation of all animal feed stock just pet food i think the important thing to remember is f.d.a. is a true. as a tourist sorry we're after oh is an association of state feed controls for shuls when you look at the manual i think you really begin to see how the interests of africa and the pet food industry alive actually putting together a list of ingredients that you would want to see and that's what's that you would want your pets to eat and then forcing that on the industry they've done it in reverse and basically just accepted the standards that the industry has been using
4:56 am
for years already no use of the term or claim natural and pet food labels so if i want to use the word natural on my dog food label here are the rules and i'm quoting this verbatim a feed or ingredient drive solely from plant animal or mind sources either in its unprocessed state or having been subject to physical process heat process rendering purification extraction except it goes on and sensually these are all definitions of the antithesis of natural. i'm going to fulfill the repeat that probus is possible to the people i promise you know we've all bought. for
