In regards to eating meat

[Monica]

Holy moly, that vegan kitty kibble is expensive! About quadruple the cost of meat-based. At least those online are. Probably Petsmart has some cheaper. I don't see anything in the ingredients to warrant such high expense. In fact it looks like we could probably make our own.

Just found this - has starter packages and recipes for diy:

Claims to be nutritionally complete including taurine. Of course that only works if the kitties actually like it enough to eat it!

Monica, I just read this http://www.coljoe.com/diet_procedure.htm as you were replying.

I find it very interesting. I would like to hear your opinion on it. Something to note, he says you should try to take calcium supplements separate from when you would ingest foods with oxalic acid.

I don't know who that person is, but he lost me when he said to drink softened water or distilled water. Drinking distilled water for 15 years almost killed me. It's extremely dangerous.

There are some good pieces of info on that site, mixed in with some not-so-good. I found several items on that site I would consider inaccurate. I wouldn't consider that a good source of info. Plus, he's making it too complicated. A diet high in raw plant foods provides way more nutrients than a cooked-food meat-based diet, so supplements are less necessary. I prefer superfoods rather than supplements.

I don't think we need to overanalyze the naturally occurring in plant foods.

Just my opinion!
