[nagdu] What Should Dogs Eat was RE: Growing Up Fisher

[Darla Rogers]

Hi Julie,

	that makes a lot of sense; I am trying to get away from some of the
highly processed foods, but I believe, with the water shortage in
California, we might have to eat in ways we4 don't necessarily like.
	I am not 100 percwe3nt convinced raw is best;; dogs have evolved
since we tossed them our table scraps, or they had to hunt for it, but I
don't like grain foods much anymore--haven't fed corn in years and
years--but I know people who have had a lot of success with raw, too.

I find it kind of interesting and humerous that we lable beef, chicken,
carrots and the like as human food.  Not all humans eat those foods and
there are certainly animal competetors for those nutritional resources.

There was a time when what we call food didn't come in a bag, box or pouch.
There was a time when food didn't even come from a store.  People and
animals grew it, raised it, hhhhhhhhhunted it or gathered it.

I still feed my dogs a prepared kibble.  I also eat macaroni from a box.
Neither is optimal and I know it.  I do the best I can with the financial
and time resources I have.
