Irrelevant, isn't it? How many people are willing to eat raw, for
instance. Looks like dogs copy us. Monkey see, monkey do becomes doggy
see doggy want.

   There are several raw pet lists, all of them have glowing reports of
the improvement in health when pet's diets are changed to totally raw.

What I found interesting on a rawcat list was the agreed diet for cats
was something like 80% meat, 10% innards, 10% bone. Yes, bone. OK, I
thought, they are different in that they have shearing teeth like
kitchen shears on the side of their jaws.
So cats are different, but the bone still puzzles me, as this would
balance acidity, and we moderns also need to do that. Wonder if paleoman
needed bone?
