There is indeed a difference between fact and opinion.
And no matter how smart you think you are, you can't assume things are fact just because it seems reasonable to you.
If you want to make up facts, suit yourself. If you want to think you know a subject better than people who have literally spent years studying, researching, analyzing, and experimenting, be my guest.
Just don't be surprised when other people roll their eyes at your made-up "knowledge."
You know, since animal nutrition is so easy and obvious, you should get a job over at Innova or Hill's. They could lay off their entire nutritional and scientific staff and eliminate their entire research budget and just ask you what they should put in their foods. Cause, hey, you already know!

If she did, she would have some respect for education, knowledge, research, data, facts, and analysis. As it is now she completely rejects everything about reality and the scientific method.

cat food companies should make mouse/bird flavored cat food, because cats naturally eat them?
thats a bit faulty.
first off, your house cat isn't exactly that natural, its been domesticated by humans for thousands of years.
so its natural eating habits aren't going to be that natural.
and a consequence of the domestication is that, house cats ate domestic food e.g. bits of beef, chicken and pork left over by humans.
the difference now, like us, they eat processed beef, chicken and pork.
so i think it fair too say a house cat eating beef, is as natural as eating mice.
and also as you know more than a vet, you should know cats eat hundreds of things.
so should companies start making fly flavored cat food? beetle flavored cat food?
do you want to know the answer?, there is no f**king point.
its a cat for Christs sake.
theres plenty of food options already available, there is no need for these extra flavors.
Latest survey shows that 3 out of 4 people make up 75% of the world's population. | | | | Edited: May 13, 2008 @ 22:54 | |

I know. i have been studying music for more than 7 years, i don't claim to know everything, and i certainly wouldn't choose to ignore that facts that have came from hundreds of years of other peoples studies.
I certainly wouldn't know where to start if i choose to ignore all these facts, and for the more advanced stuff, learning it isn't something you can just observe.
I would imagine studying animals would kinda be the same, only alot harder.
