Don’t we all already know this, but no harm being reminded of it again: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/article/fruits-and-vegetables-are-less-nutritious-than-they-used-to-be
“Let food be thy medicine and medicine thy food” may not be sufficient anymore these days.
My childhood dogs, Puffin and Remirth, only ate home-cooked meat and rice and almost never had to see the vet. They never ate kibble (there were no pet stores in Kampar or Kuala Kangsar and the nearest vet was in Ipoh), never needed any immune boosters and they lived a long life too.
But now? I definitely spend more on my cats than myself! They need immune boosters, supplements, etc. And still cannot escape from vet’s visits!
This is how much we have destroyed our earth. And we pay the price. The animals in the wild also have to pay the price.
