I agree with the general thrust of Hound Dog Mom’s assertions. “Fat, protein, and carbohydrates” are large categories. HD mom (Gee can I just call you mom?) is talking about specific nutrients. Micro nutrients spoil and deteriorate unless the food is stored and handled properly, and fresh is best when there’s a choice about that.
On the other hand, a completely even handed response would note other things.
–Yes, corn is susceptible to aflatoxin.
–Soy and corn include lectins.
–Guess what? The good ingredients (MEAT!)can also spoil
–And is broccoli so evil because of phytates? Many of them fight cancer.
Most mammals’ bodies can separate out MODERATE amounts of toxic digestive by products.
That’s why so many knowledgeable experts recommend a varied diet. Variation limits dosages of some items and assures that Fido gets others he wasn’t fed last week.
The wholistic theory of nutrition works pretty well. Just be aware that taking the whole dietary enchilada (sorry!) at face value prevents us from analyzing what’s best in detail. You have my permission to take my thoughts with a grain of rice!
