Pellets Are Poop!

I'm SICK and TIRED of it! In light of the ongoing research here at Passion Tree House, LLC I have to tell you, I CANNOT believe the "bill of goods" the food industry is selling us! I'm sick and tired of it and I'm going to start telling the world. Here at BirD-elicious! we honestly believe we are at the very edge of solving almost all avian plucking problems. How in the world these universities and other organizations can't get to the bottom of the problem with all of their top-notch researchers and scientists and the mounds of funding they receive is BEYOND me! I can only imagine that their research is funded by major pet food manufacturers. After researching, in depth, what birds eat in the wild and reading between the lines, it just all seems so darn simple. And you know what? When the resolve to a problem is so simple, it's ususally over-looked. Not this time. But let me, if you will, just rant a little bit longer. For those of you who know me, have followed my nutrition obssession, have read my many, many posts on plucking and it's close relation to diet, then you know, I am TENACIOUS and UNFORGIVING when I am sold a "bill of goods". Diet. THE FIRST line of defense against all illness and disease. So what do food manufacturers do? Take all of the raw ingredients and obliterate their nutritional content by grinding them up into unrecognizable powders, mixing them all together, adding water, pressing them into a "cookie-cutter" form, popping them out of an extruder and calling it "food". BS. The majority of nutrition is lost in the very first stage of the process, the grinding. Haven't you heard? When a food is taken and cut into tiny little pieces most of the nutrition leaches out of each particle, leaving almost no real nutrition. Let those particles sit while waiting for further processing and between light oxidation and air flow, what's left of the nutrition depletes even further. Now take those almost useless food particles and water them down, leaching even more nutrition out of them, press them together really, really tight, squeezing even more nutriton out of them, dry them out and you basically have,CARDBOARD. But now, because all of the nutrition has been ripped out of the individual ingredients, some form of nutrition HAS to be added back in just to be able to list the generally accepted "standard" ratios and percentages of vitmains and minerals on the "retail label". So what do they do? They reach for the cheapest form of sub-standard nutrients, in a form, minute particles or liquids, created synthetically, to "add in" to this already unreliable form of almost unedible cardboard. All just to raise the nutritional content in order to barely be able to list on the retail label that, yes, in fact, our food does contain "nutrients"! Now if that isn't enough to make you "fighting mad", then read on. So we have this cardboard containing synthetic vitamins represented as "nutrionally balanced". Let's add insult to injury. THIS IS A PROCESSED FOOD. PERIOD. In the true meaning of the term "processed food" is something that has been ALTERED from it's natural state to such a degree that the original form is unrecognizable. Science has proved that highly processed foods are acidic. What happens when a body become too acidic? Yep, you have it, illness and disease sets in. If the body remains at an acidic level for an extended period of time, cells become weaker and weaker and unable to fight off any disease that cross their path. The more acidic a system becomes the more unable it is to obtain any kind of normal homeostasis and bang, there you have it, a muriad of problems all stemming from the poor quality of what some call "food" cascading into more and more poor health issues. I don't know about you, but I have had it and I am waging war on food manufacturers. It's about time someone stands up and calls their so-called "food" what it is. JUNK. I'm sick and tired of manufacturers treating me like a mushroom, feeding me and my pets BS, keeping us in the dark and expecting us to make them wealthy while they outright LIE to us about the integrity of their products. Anyone with me on this?
