Now, now, you are just assuming that if you didn't understand the product that
means lots of other people wouldn't either. It's true that it takes a little
reading to "get" the Wysong philosophy--their all meat canned foods are not
meant to be fed as a complete diet either.

Perhaps Wysong expects too much of consumers in requiring them to read a
little, but Wysong is generally sold in health food stores so I would guess
they market to a more health conscious population. As to whether the average
vegan buys food without researching it, that I don't know. As a vegetarian, I
know I have to read labels pretty carefully, but I have never tried to be
vegan.

Most of the Web sites devoted to vegan diets for dogs and cats do seem to make
a point of noting that Wysong's Vegan Canine/Feline food (it's not labeled for
felines only) is a supplement, not a complete diet, so apparently a lot of
vegans do know that. Really, if anyone is actually considering trying to feed a
cat a vegan or vegetarian diet, I surely hope they are thoroughly researching
the subject because it's pretty tricky to do and generally discouraged by the
veterinary community.

Go read your old posts Phil. I bet you have some fresh raw meat in the
fridge, some Flint River Ranch in the freezer, and some Innova,
Wellness, and Wysong cans in the cupboard. Give me an honest answer:
Is Colgate/Palmolive or any of its affiliate companies a client of
yours?

What most of us are unaware of is that the pet food industry is an
extension of the human food industry, also known as the agriculture
industry. Pet food provides a place for slaughterhouse waste

Since you can't base your argument on *factual* advantages of your diet
(because there are none), you're resorting to the diversionary tactic of
reposting my 3-4 year old posts in an effort to draw attention away from the
fact that all you could come with to support your diet was a *flawed*
*60-year-old* basement experiment! Of course no one caught on to your
little ruse......
lol1.


I'm actually *glad* you posted my old posts!!! Just goes to *prove* that I
had an
open mind and bought into the au naturel cult bullsh!t, too, once -- until
I *woke up* and did *my own research* and found out that just about all of
the au naturel cult fodder on the internet originated from the *same* few
sources: API and Mis-Leading Martin, and a few vets who need an angle...

I chose the side that was backed up by *science* over the side that was
backed up by rumors, innuendo and scare tactics....

So you see, Einstein, you're actually doing me a *favor* Bwahaha!

I don't have to -- I wrote them! LOL! My old posts *prove* I was
*open-minded* and bought into the au naturel cult bullsh!t, too -- that is
until I *woke up* and did my *own* research. I found out that nearly *all*
of the au naturel cult fodder on the internet were regurgitations of the
*same* scare tactics, rumors, innuendo and otherwise just plain bullsh!t
from the *same* few sources, i.e.d API, Mis-Leading Martin, and a few vets
trying to sell books... Where do those vets get the time to write books...?
I know our vets are too busy treating animals to write books... I guess
those vets' business is selling books... Maybe because they have failing
practices and need an angle....


I bet you have some fresh raw meat in the
fridge,

I do -- and I plan to barbeque it on my grill! LOL!!!


some Flint River Ranch in the freezer, and some Innova,
Wellness, and Wysong cans in the cupboard.

Nope...I don't buy into the "human grade ingredients" gimmick anymore... I
woke up....


Give me an honest answer:
Is Colgate/Palmolive or any of its affiliate companies a client of
yours?

woooooooooooooooooooooo --- a secret plot...... a conspiracy... the big
payoff...! LOL! Give me an honest answer... how long have you been
paranoid? How long have you had delusions of people plotting against you?
When you see people whispering, do you think they're talking about you?
Bwahaha!

Here's a tip from an employer: Don't mention your conspiracy or payoff
suspicions or your "Machiavellian money" theory in your next job
interview....
