You are no longer in control of what you eat. Rather, someone else decides both what and when you eat.
One day this new method of subsisting commences and you are presented with lunch from your food provider. And how wonderful, it's your favorite food!
You finish your day and are looking forward to dinner. When dinner is served you are surprised because your food provider once again presents you with, yes, your favorite food. That's alright though because it's your favorite food, you don't mind two successive meals of the same kind.
But then the following morning for breakfast, you receive the same meal...and then for lunch ditto...and for dinner once again.
Days, weeks, months, years pass and your food provider never alters your meals.
Ridiculous and cruel you say. Well, that is exactly what the vast majority of the millions of pet owners do to their pets meal after meal, year after year. Actually I need to correct that. What pets receive is not even their favorite food. Not only that, what they get may not even have any resemblance to what they are genetically designed to consume. Yet people en masse think they are feeding the best pet food.
We feed our pets as we would never feed ourselves, or our children. Eating in variety is second nature (automatic) and enjoyable for everyone. But we have not extended the same courtesy and kindness to our companion animals. Over time they suffer mightily because of it.

Although pets do not speak our language, if we pay attention they make their desires known. There is another voice inside of them that is trying to be heard. It is their genetics telling you to feed them truly natural foods and in variety. If we don't listen, the price to eventually be paid is lost health.
Thought for the day: "An animal's eyes have the power to speak a great language." – Martin Buber
Word for the day: digest - noun: A food that has been broken down (digested) by enzymes, rendering it more assimilable.
