Re: BARF and trichinosis

Thanks for the info. Vicky.
I don't feed BARF, but am not against it.
Growing up I had a Mom who drilled into me that pork MUST be well done or
we'd all die of trichinosis! So was just curious about dogs who ate it raw.

Bernerly,
Mary

Pat,
Is this true?  Do you eat Scrapple?  My husband is from Nebraska and he has
been trying and trying to find scrapple since he moved here (Oregon), of
course, no body here even knows what scrapple is
Do you have a recipe?  I would love to surprise him sometime and make him
some
thanks
Karen


oh oh, I think I goofed in my reply.  I think Pat Long eats scrapple, not
snapple.  Maybe she drinks snapple, not coffee?  No, wait, if she's drinking
all that other stuff...  oh, I need more coffee!

I don't know much, but I know better than to listen to a doctor about diet!
Coffee comes first!

Pat doesn't drink it.  She is so very strange...  She eats this weird stuff
that comes out of a can, looks like some kind of strange, pressed meat, I
think they call it snapple?

 I see that you do in deed lack dietary knowledge, Pat, tho you have a good
 understanding of the basics. You listed the 4 basic food groups as:

 Chocolate
 McDonald's
 Potato Chips
 Chocolate

 You scored a 50%,which is really pretty good, you are half there. Here is
the
 correct list, based on my intensive research and experience on one one
human
 being (me.)

 Chocolate
 Coffee
 Pina coladas

 Hee hee. Someone on the Belgian list has a sig. line which states
 Chocolate: it's not just a food group; it's THE food group.

 too true!

Jean,

The biggest drawback I know of the BARF diet is a lack of dietary
knowledge. My understanding of the four basic food groups for humans is
as follows:

Chocolate
McDonald's
Potato Chips
Chocolate

That's not a mistake, chocolate is important enough to be two separate
food groups. Green is not a color that I like to see in food.
Personally, I've been waiting for People Chow so I can just keep a bag
in the kitchen and grab a handful every time I walk by.

As you might imagine, I have a difficult time forcing myself to prepare
a balanced meal. I wouldn't have the slightest idea what would
constitute a balanced diet for another species!

Actually Vilma, I think you are both fairly close but you are scoring 75%
due to ethnic differences. Down here in my neck of the woods I would have
to say we list the 4 groups as:

Chocolate
Coffee
Margueritas
Chocolate

Viva la difference
