世界上的食物,從什麼時候開始被分成「人食」、「狗食」了呢?
說到狗食,你會想到什麼?
乾飼料、罐頭、牛皮骨?
好多人這麼說:「不要給狗吃人食,因為這樣他就會被寵壞,以後就挑食不吃飼料了」好像新鮮的食物是人類專利一樣,不可以跟狗分享
或者是萬惡的深淵,一旦讓狗狗接觸到,這條狗就萬劫不復了
今天才有主人跟我說,
現在是因為狗狗生病了,才給他吃牛肉,等他好了
才沒有這麼好康勒!要讓他餓到乖乖吃飼料
「吃飼料才會健康」--最後這句話真的讓人痛徹心扉
其實一份2005年的研究發現
每天吃乾飼料的狗,如果能至少一週三次,在飼料中加上新鮮葉菜的話
可以比那些完全沒有吃新鮮食物的狗,
減少90%的癌症發生率。
而那些每週至少三次,可以吃橘黃色蔬菜的狗
癌症發生率甚至可以減少到70%。
從這份數據看來,
吃飼料真的比較健康嗎?
別再冤枉那些討厭吃飼料的狗了
他們只是更懂得慎選食物而已
HERE’S WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO ADD FRESH “HUMAN FOOD” TO YOUR PET’S KIBBLE
Today, ninety-six percent of pet owners around the globe are feeding dry commercial pet foods. Of those 96%, there is a large majority that believes dried commercial pet food is really all their pet needs and would never stop to consider the benefits of adding fresh “human food”.
(“Human food” definition in this article: clean sources of meat-based proteins and some organic plant matter, not beer and nachos 😉)
There are many reasons why some of these pet parents feel this way, however the most popular reason today seems to be the 50-year-old rumor that is in existence and still spreading.
You know the one: “Giving your animal table scraps is bad!”
How or when did this terrible rumor start?
Well, if we go back in time, research shows that shortly after the invention of processed pet foods, manufacturers were having a hard time convincing pet parents to make the switch from foods in their refrigerators to their commercial pet foods.
So in 1964, the pet food industry, along with the PFI, joined together with a whole bunch of marketing dollars and launched one of the most influential campaigns the pet world had ever seen: the “Ban All Table Scraps from your Pets’ Bowls” campaign!
Through thousands of newspapers, magazines, and news stations, the public was warned about the dangers of table food scraps or “human food” and the importance of feeding “processed” commercial pet food. From there, the giant smear campaign took off!
Not only did this clever campaign work, but it was so impactful that now, 50 years later, folks are still in fear of offering anything that is not labeled pet food.
SO IS IT A GOOD THING TO ONLY OFFER YOUR PET DRIED KIBBLE?
Not according to ongoing research it isn’t, especially with today’s cancer rates being 1 in 2 dogs!
In a 2005 study conducted at Purdue University on Scottish Terriers, the results showed that adding fresh vegetables to dry commercial kibble actually prevented and/or slowed down the development of transitional cell carcinoma (aka bladder cancer)!
In the study, dogs ate a diet of dry commercial pet food, while some got an assortment of vegetables added to the mix at least 3 times per week.
When the study was concluded, according to the researchers, they weren’t really shocked by the results.
Here’s what they found:
Dogs that ate any green leafy vegetables, like broccoli, had reduced the risk of developing bladder cancer by 90% and the dogs that consumed any yellow – orange vegetables like carrots reduced the risk by 70%!
Seriously! A lousy carrot helped smash the potential of cancer.
( http://ilarjournal.oxfordjournals.org/content/55/1/100.full ) (Raghavan, Knapp, Bonney, 2005)
Yes, of course cats are obligate carnivores (must have meat to survive) and our dogs are facultative carnivores (carnivores with omnivorous potential if circumstances demand) so offering clean meat-based protein sources should always be top priority and essential.
However, because today’s world is ever-so changing due to factory farmed livestock being fed genetically modified grains and our planet being contaminated with every type of pesticide, fungicide and larvicide, the importance of fresh, organic plant matter to help detox the body couldn’t be more crucial.
So if the “cancer reducing benefit” doesn’t tickle your fancy enough to convince you to add any “human fresh foods” to your pet’s bowl, then maybe think of it this way:
How bad would it suck if someone forced you to eat dry processed foods your whole life!?

【每日一則.食安小常識(IMEI-FS-0005)】農藥是什麼?(蔬菜、水果篇)
面對颱風(風颱)「農民與消費者」深感無奈、無辜、無助——「擔心損失·搶收」、「價格漲•品質稍差」、「安全採收期可能不足」。
※颱風前﹐農民心驚﹑膽跳﹔可憐﹗ 颱風後﹐宅•鄉•婉•弱無奈、無助!
*安全採收期
蔬果購買應留意「農藥殘留安全容許量」,各種農產食品使用農藥時,規定有「安全採收期(農藥最後施藥日至可採收日之期間)」,以保障消費者的健康。
農藥也稱為「殺生物劑」(或「生物滅除劑」或「除生物劑」),是一種能夠殺死活生物體的化學物質。為預防農作物的損害,農民常用農藥來殺死那些被認為是「有害農作物」的昆蟲、植物、和真菌。
廣義來說,只要是可以對抗害蟲或植物疾病的化學物質,都可稱為農藥;農藥不一定都是化學合成製作,也有天然,甚至是其他生命體,例如從某些細菌或昆蟲中萃取。
農藥發展早期,人們從菸草或除蟲菊中提煉成分,做為殺蟲之用,就是一種天然農藥。農藥按照材料來源,又可分為礦物(源)農藥、化學合成農藥及生物(源)農藥。
據著者瞭解:全世界目前上市農藥約有1,300多種,實際使用900多種;歐盟將檢驗700多種;美國將檢驗500多種;台灣目前檢驗達300多種,預計將增加到400多種。
但依農委會「農業藥物毒物試驗所」2011年之「農藥使用現況」說明:
「世界上使用的農藥總計約1,550種主成分,成品農藥製劑種類約在4萬5000種以上。」
農民使用農藥,除了對抗疾病,就是為了對抗害蟲。「害蟲」是指與人類競爭食物,破壞財產、散播疾病、或造成困擾的生命體,這些生物都是自然界組成的一分子,包括昆蟲,植物病原體、雜草、軟體動物,甚至線蟲類及微生物等。
目前,全球的農藥大部分由六大跨國農藥企業所生產。根據台灣經濟研究院前副研究員許嘉伊,於2010年在台灣經濟研究月刊所發表的「兩岸農藥產業現況與進出口貿易分析」指出,新農藥研發平均需9.8年,以及耗費高達2.56億美元,研發成本相當高,且產品註冊登記程序繁瑣,若不是大企業恐難以支持如此龐大的研究投資。
這六家歐美公司,包括先正達(Syngenta)、拜耳(Bayer)、
巴斯夫(BASF)、陶氏化學(Dow Chemical)、孟山都(Monsanto),以及杜邦(DuPont),約拿下全球七至八成的市佔率,台灣大部分是發展學名藥,大約七成農藥是由國內廠商製作,其他三成仰賴進口。
國際上依農藥的防治對象,分類為:殺蟲劑、殺真菌劑、殺細菌劑、除草劑、殺蟎劑、殺鼠劑、殺線蟲劑、除藻劑、植物生長調節劑。
殺蟲劑(Insecticide):用以防除昆蟲及其他節肢動物。
殺真菌劑(Fungicide):用以防除真菌病害(包括露菌病、晚疫病、銹病、白粉病等)。
殺細菌劑(Bactericide):防除為害植物之細菌病害,如細菌性葉斑病、軟腐病等。
除草劑(Herbicide):用以防除雜草或其他不欲種植之植物。
除蟎劑(Acarides;Miticide):防除寄食植物及動物之蟎類(紅蜘蛛)。
殺鼠劑(Rodenticide):防除農田之野鼠。
殺線蟲劑(Nematocide):防除線蟲(極微小、軟蟲狀生物體,需於顯微鏡下鑑定,寄食於植物根部為主)。
除藻劑(Algicides):防除灌溉水溝、河川、湖泊等水域之藻類。
植物生長調節劑(Plant Growth Regulator):促進植物生長、開花、或再生。
