I’ve spent years talking about what ultra-processed food has done to human health. I never really stopped to think about what it could be doing to our pets.
Over half of the pets in this country are overweight or obese. And yet, we’ve somehow normalized feeding them highly processed food every single day.
When I sat down with Dr. Judy Morgan, the parallels between human health and animal health were hard to ignore. We’ve moved further away from real, whole foods, and our pets have come right along with us.
What I love about Dr. Morgan’s approach is that she brings it back to the basics: what are we feeding them, what are they exposed to, and what can we actually control?
