Echoing Phil and Steve again. What was I saying about original
statements???? Hey, when you're right, you're right. If you would try being right once in awhile, I may even agree w/ you! Wow. I think I'm pretty much right about something every day. I'll go check, though. LOL! That may very well be, but perhaps you would like to showcase how right you are on this ng sometime? |

And which pathogenic microorganisms are these?
Hundreds of thousands of species. Exactly. And they are literally everywhere. The equation pathogen + host = disease is hardly ever true. If it were true more often than not, life would not have evolved past the first parasite. I suppose you still haven´t had immunology. That equation is not a simple one. There are many variables you have to consider regarding the pathogen (e.g., virulence) and a truckload of variables regarding the host. I didn't say I advocated eating STERILE food, just that eating RAW meat isn't really the smartest idea in the world. You wanna experiment on your animals, go ahead. No skin off my teeth. I have been giving raw to my animals for 25 years, never had a problem. I eat raw meat myself and never had a problem. Did you ever try Carpaccio or Sushi? I guess not.. Besides, I like my steak very rare. Now guess how many times I had food poisoning in my life? Never did. Perhaps you should try to meet someone who had food poisoning and ask how it happened. IMO, most cases are related to eating out. So I believe it would be wiser for you to never eat out again than to avoid raw. If you are going to get paranoid about everything you learn in vet school, you´re better off taking business administration or accounting. Students of medicine have the highest suicide rate among all college students. I wonder where veterinary students stand in that rating. Maybe it´s just not for you. CARPACCIO Carpaccio was invented in 1961 at Harry's Bar in Venice, Italy. It was named for the Renaissance painter Vittore Carpaccio who was noted for his use of red in his paintings. Thin sliced raw beef served with a cold vinaigrette made with olive oil, or just olive oil and lemon juice (and sometimes Parmesan cheese). Generally served on a bed of greens such as watercresss, endive, arugula and/or radicchio. Originally the beef was seared quickly, and the seared portion then trimmed off before slicing. |

From: (Liz)
And which pathogenic microorganisms are these? Hundreds of thousands of species. Exactly. And they are literally everywhere. The equation pathogen + host = disease is hardly ever true. If it were true more often than not, life would not have evolved past the first parasite. From my understanding E coli is even more common in fruits and vegetables. Also, cats have much shorter and acidic digestive tracts, made for eating raw meat. Look at the micotoxin illnesses that were caused by a commercial dog food. Personally, I've been feeding my cats a raw diet for a few years now and they've never once been sick from it, but rather are thriving on it. I think all things in life have some risks, and one must decide what risks are relevant. shrugs Lauren ________ See my cats: http://community.webshots.com/album/56955940rWhxAe Raw Diet Info: http://www.holisticat.com/drjletter.html http://www.geocities.com/rawfeeders/ForCatsOnly.html Declawing Info: http://www.wholecat.com/articles/claws.htm |

I wonder what are their most frequent causes of death... ? |
