on the raw food diet for dogs. The raw food diet is a controversial subject in some circles. This makes it a valuable study to learn what the raw food diet is. I will also look at what some of the reasons for switching to a raw food diet are and try to answer the question of whether this is a healthy alternative to conventional dog foods. Background The raw food diet was first proposed in 1993 by Dr. Ian Billinghust. He coined the acronym BARF. This stands for the Biologically Appropriate Raw Food Diet (Lee, 2012). Commercial raw dog foods can be bought such as the BARF dog food line (BARF dog food, 2015) or Darwin’s Natural Selections food (Darwin’s natural selections, 2016). There are many sources…

In his graphic novel, “Maus”, Art Spiegelman tells a survivor’s tale of his father, Vladek Spiegelman. Valdek was a Jewish-Polish survivor of World War II. He endures many hardships as the graphic novel progresses, including but not limited to the loss of his first son, Richieu, numerous prison camps, and bankruptcy.

Raw can refer to foods that do not readily have their enzymes available, even though they have not been heated or destroyed (4). “Why raw?” is simple: It could change your life. It changed mine. Raw food is healthful for two reasons: (i) It contains phytonutrients (nutrients found in plants); (ii) It promotes digestions due to its fiber, water, and enzyme content (4). Phytonutrients and enzymes are damaged by high levels of heat; enzymes stars to “denature” (become mangled) around 118ºF (48ºC)…

generation prior. When I look at the routines that have emerged from the union of my parents, I see something that is varied. My mother’s families are of mixed backgrounds and it is obvious in her bag of tricks when it comes what I was fed as a child.

My father’s family was Italian from the region of Campania, so pasta was a staple of my father’s diet and so it became a staple in the…

He asked me why I am eating raw beef and said that is disgusting. I was shocked and I asked if he eats Pig, then he replied no! That is “dirty”. How about pork I…

The pro raw milk advocates on one side call for policies that would facilitate raw milk sale and consumption. The pro raw milk coalition is comprised of a combination of nutritionists, small scale dairy farmers, and local food proponents. On the other side is the pro pasteurization camp which includes the vast majority of the dairy industry and virtually every food safety group (Miller 2007, 1). Between…
