That "evidence" you show is not controlled enough to tell me anything. It doesn't say exactly what they ate. Was there even meat in that test. It needs to tell what they are eating and how much. We also need to know if it's organic or not.
Vets do not spend 8 years of chemistry, biochemistry, and organic chemistry. They study some in preclinical years, which in the UK generally comprise the first 3 years intermixed with physiology, pharmacology etc, and they certainly conduct no significant research. They don't even study chemistry or biochemistry to final year undergraduate degree level in those subjects, let alone postgraduate (ie PhD) level.
Regardless, please answer the question, do you agree that all chemicals in meat could in principle be synthesised or derived from non meat sources and used to create a healthy vegan cat food?
So you are willing to dismiss all the evidence that eating meat is bad for ones health, but you are happy to believe organic food is healthier than non-organic based on what evidence?
We have different standards here in the USA. My friend I went to college with has/still is taking chemistry classes(She is in vet school now).
Synthesized, possibly; healthy, no. All the vegan cat foods have too much fiber for a carnivore. Also most have corn, which my cat is allergic to(cheap cat foods use corn as a filler). My cats are on grain free food(no corn,wheat,or soy), same for my dogs.
Organic does not have pesticides or other harmful things. Organic meat tends to come from grass fed cows, not on fattening corn.
