You wanted me to spill tea, and tea I will spill:
The Word of Wisdom is fundamentally misunderstood by everyone (myself included). Let's look at the Word of Wisdom, shall we?
Let's begin with the Prohibitions, as these are the only things enforced by the Church. They comprise of Alcohol, Tobacco, Illicit Drugs, Coffee, and Tea. From the start, we can't deny Tobacco, Coffee, or Tea. The WoW only said "Hot Drinks," but Hyrum (who was authorized to receive revelation for the Church at the time) said it meant Coffee & Tea.
On the subject of Tea, Herbs of the Field. The Lord has told us to use all the herbs of the field with prudence. This is not me saying to distrust medical professionals, but they can help sometimes. I can't count how many times I've had a horrible stomach ache helped by Peppermint Tea. But it'd be dumb to reject the advancements in medicine we've made in the past 10,000 years. This is also why I support medicinal marijuana (and other things like psychedelic therapy). As long as it is used in wisdom & moderation, it can do good for a number of physical and mental issues (such as my grandmother using it for her seizures, or that veteran who used it for his PTSD)
Finally, Alcohol. The Word of Wisdom only prohibits "strong drinks" (which was defined as distilled alcohol, like Vodka). It encourages Mild Drinks (such as beer), and says we can have wine, if Mormons make it. Joseph drank wine (for pleasure, not just for ritual), Brigham owned a Brewery, and on and on. Obviously, wisdom & prudence. If someone has alcohol issues, they shouldn't drink. This fits into my concept of Zion. Drinking for Pleasure is fine, but Drunkenness is unacceptable. We need to enjoy pleasure without getting consumed by them. But since so few of us can manage that, I see why the Church went the way it did
Next, what have we been encouraged to eat. Grain (which is the Staff of Life), Fruits, and Vegetables. There are people who can't eat them (people with Gluten Intolerances & the like), but I can't argue with this. Fruits and Veggies are good
Although, wisdom is required here too. Not all food is made equal. I'm not going to go completely crazy about GMOs (we've been modifying our food for over 5 millennia), but we need to be more careful about the affects. And the flour we use nowadays is stripped of basically all it's nutritional benefits
Final is the mixed category, namely meats & animal products
The WoW never actually mentions animal products, so this is all me. Animal Products are good, and should be used. Eggs (especially considering the "eat meat sparingly" part) are an amazing source of protein. Milk is good for calcium, if you're not lactose intolerant (like I am). The Lord approves of Honey so much he constantly mentions it in association with the Promised Land(s), and specifically told the Jaredites to take bees with them. But, like all foods we've covered so far, careful. My FiL used to be Egg Intolerant, until he started raising his own Chickens, and he's had no problems with those eggs (and they taste way better, and fill me up way more than Store-Bought ones)
The Lord taught us to "eat meat sparingly," and I've seen a bunch of interpretations, from Vegans to Carnivores. All hold some merits, but no one gets it all right. I don't even think I get this one. Ryan Hinkley (a Blogger & Podcaster) said part of his interpretation is that we should do the least harm. He advocates restricting meat use to meats like Venison and Beef, because they are large enough to feed a lot of people over a long period of time (and have you ever had Venison Tacos. Try it sometime, if you eat meat). It mentions Cold & Famine, and this could be because of the extra protein, which allows you to build mass, to keep warm in winter, and last longer in famine times. In addition, if you work in agriculture (especially in the time of JS), that's the most available food you have in the dead of winter. I want to add to this the prophecy about the Sons of Levi offering a sacrifice. Sacrifice for the remission of sins is done away with, but I believe animal sacrifice will return. In Biblical Animal Sacrifice, the Meat (for the most part) wasn't burned to dust, but roasted and eaten. If I am correct, and it does return, then the reason we are to eat meat sparingly is so that when we do eat it, it's as a celebration of the mercies of God. That's just my crackpot theory though, with ideas I've had floating around for years
(And this is all just a theory. I want to try restricting my meat intake & whatnot, but I don't feel ready for that. And even if the Church said we could drink, I probably wouldn't, because I have a family history of alcohol & drug abuse)

Hi! Hope I'm not bothering you too much with this ask, but I've got some questions about carnivore diet.
Can you explain why you don't eat eggs and dairy? Is there some evidence that this is better/what is the evidence? And the same about other types of meat - why is pork and chicken 'bad'/'worse'? Is it because of their diet leading the meat to not contain enough nutrients?
What about subproducts, like liver or heart or stomach?
And lastly, I'm a bit conflicted, since carnivore diet is ketogenic, how much contraindications are there? Is it well researched? I mean, if a person does not have a gallbladder, for example, it is usually recommended to eat often and to not consume a lot of fat. Sorry to bombard you with questions, but your advocacy for it got me really curious.
Hi there! You're not bothering me at all. Let me try to answer these as best I can. Please bear in mind that carnivore for me, and for many others, is used to address autoimmune illness and thus the "rules" I follow may not be necessary for you depending on your health history and reasons for wanting to try the diet. This got kinda long so I'll put it all under the cut.
Dairy: for me it is an allergy. Many many carnivores continue to eat dairy with no problems. I have found that pasteurized dairy, particularly cheese and yogurt, gives me acne. I am currently in the process of testing unpasteurized, grassfed milk to see if it causes the same reaction (there is some thought that pasteurization may denature proteins in such a way that they become allergenic for some people, probably particularly people with autoimmune illnesses. I'm not sure if there is any real research on this, but it's a common phenomenon that people who can't tolerate pasteurized dairy can tolerate raw dairy). If I don't have any issues with raw milk, I will attempt raw yogurt/cheese/butter as well.
Eggs: I honestly just don't really like eggs very much. It's possible they are an allergy for me, as I used to eat them scrambled a lot before I went to meat-only. I have not tested them, and the number of eggs I would have to eat to constitute a meal is just silly, so it seems like a waste of money. I know a lot of carnivores like to slap a fried egg on their steaks or eat hard boiled eggs as a snack on the go. It's just not for me.
Non-ruminant animals: animals that are monogastric (one stomach) are understood to break down less of the chemicals in the food they're ingesting. Ruminants have so many layers of digestion in their many stomachs that, by the time the nutrients are absorbed and distributed around their bodies, they're generally not carrying over any potential toxins/allergens. People with very serious autoimmune issues have a reaction to eating chicken, pork, and other non-ruminant meat, theoretically due to the plant toxins present in trace amounts in the meat. This is especially true for conventionally-raised animals that are not eating their proper, natural diets.
If you don't have any autoimmune concerns, go ahead and eat non-ruminant meat if you like. I eat it occasionally, although I have noticed that both chicken and pork do cause minor digestive problems for me that stop me from eating them regularly.
Organ meat: the debate rages eternal about whether organ meats are necessary to eat or not. While it's true that they pack a nutritional punch, there are a great many carnivores who do not eat them at all and their health, both self reported and bloodwork, is fine. My opinion is that if you like organ meats, eat them, but probably more sparingly. If you think about it, 50,000 years ago when we were hunting megafauna, we would kill one very large animal for the group and eat the meat of it for weeks/months. The organs only make up a very small part of the animal's edible mass and must be shared with everyone, so to me it does not make sense to be eating lots of organ meat all the time. But if you enjoy organs, then more power to you.
I hope this helps! I tried to keep it kinda short because it's so close to my bedtime haha but if you have any follow-up questions then you know where to find me!
As far as I know there are no contraindications for carnivore, or for ketogenic diets in general. Both diets have been used to treat pretty much every illness under the sun, from all mental health disorders to diabetes type 1 and 2, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune illnesses, epilepsy, neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders, etc. Ketosis is increasingly being understood as humans' primary metabolic state, meaning that our bodies are designed to run optimally off of ketones, not glucose. The rapid growth of our brains is associated evolutionarily with a massive increase in meat consumption, and in fact since the extinction of most megafauna just prior to the agricultural revolution (about 10,000 years ago), which forced us to both eat plants constantly and to hunt smaller, faster, leaner animals, our brains have shrunk approximately 11%. It seems pretty logical to me that our bodies prefer fatty meat.
Concerning a removed gallbladder specifically, I have heard doctors address this issue. If I remember correctly, the answer is that you can be keto/carnivore without a gallbladder, but you have to consolidate the majority of your fat consumption into one meal or else you will have digestive issues. If you don't have a gallbladder I would recommend looking into this yourself (a quick YouTube search should get you plenty of information) so you are fully informed.

Mimics
A lot of fantasy settings have the iconic mimic, a creature that disguises itself as a treasure chest or some other container of fortune and wealth routinely and inexplicably stumbled across during a common adventurer's work.
My fantasy setting has mimics, too. But they are NOT like that. Instead, the Aurusian Mimic is a mass of amorphous muscle tissue, approximately the size of a bowling ball when in a relaxed state. It has the ability to freely reconfigure the shape of its body mass into whatever it wishes - albeit not with exact precision. It has complete control over its pigmentation and the surface texture of its outermost skin layer. It constantly secretes sticky, slimy grey mucus from every part of its body that, if it contacts other organic matter, acts like a digestive acid, creating rashes and irritations while being SUPER adhesive.
As beings of pure muscle mass, a Mimic can deliver a tremendous amount of force if it launches itself at something, despite its small size. A mimic snapping to attack a human face will cave in the victim's skull with relative ease, then wrap its formless body around the brain to start digesting.
As a result, most mimics are ambush predators that hide in seemingly innocuous spaces in their homes in deep underground caverns. They will disguise themselves as part of the wall, or as an edible piece of fungus that another cave dweller might eat. Or, in some cases, the particularly clever Mimic may disguise itself as a newborn or infant of another species. With its amorphous body, it can - to some extent - replicate the sounds of other creatures by fabricating vocal cords. The most terrifying example of this known to Aurusian scholars is when a Mimic will emulate the cries of a human infant, a sound the mimics have learned over generations spent living in close proximity to settlements of humans and humanoids that live in the world's subterranean tunnel network. Mamallian instinct drives us to find and defend our young - even if it is not our own flesh and blood - with fervor unmatched. As such, crying babies are often the perfect bait for the unprepared.
The first recorded instance of this saw a man stumbling across the disguised mimic. It is said that the mimic resembled a human baby only vaguely. There were no facial features on its smooth, white, moist head. There were no fingers or toes on its hands or feet. Its head was too big for its body, and it vaguely resembled twitching half-melted candle wax. Then it launched itself at the poor man who found it. He was dead in seconds.
Despite the terrifying nature of the mimic, however, the deepfolk who dwell underground have found ways to exploit their properties to their own advantage. Mimics are dangerous to consume since they can just eat their predator from the inside out. As such, deepfolk have taken to capturing mimics, bathing them in pots and vats filled with residual grease-fat from other hunted creatures, and then using these mimics as bait for some of the more enormous monstrosities that call the underworld home. Such as the notorious Boreworm, a carnivorous earthworm up to 30 feet in length. By luring a boreworm to try and eat a mimic, the deepfolk will barely have to lift a finger after the initial mimic toss to get an enormous haul of muscle-dense, protein-rich meat to feed their communities on.

Things cherubs eat in canon:
Meat
Candy
"Special stardust"
The sun
My headcanons based on this:
Cherubs are both carnivores and producers
Their skin gets its green color from chlorophyll
Their bodies need high amounts of protein, which they get from hunting and scavenging for meat, and sugar, which they can either get from food or sunlight
They can also get nutrition from solar flares and stardust, but only certain chemicals in it actually do anything for them. The special stardust in the comic has been highly treated and only exists in that form to be given to Calliope and Caliborn.
The cherub ritual of eating the nebula that destroys their planet is more of a mass-photosynthesis than anything (which often takes thousands of years to complete), but sometimes they do physically eat some of the stardust left behind.
In space, they survive pretty much entirely off sunlight and stardust, but some cherubs choose to live on the planets they oversee as adults, where they can return to eating meat if desired.

Whats the diet like your fae? i recall you said that they can't do gluten - how does that effect their meals? do they have the three main meals like we do ( breakfast , lunch , dinner ) or do they have a different system ? gimmie all the food culture -
word building questions ; always accepting!!
dokkalfar are omnivores with a lean towards fruitivore and insectivore/carnivore tendencies. they will eat just about anything that does not eat them first. however, like any organism, they have preferences and specific dietary needs. dokkalfar primarily consume a diet that in high in protein and sugars.
they have very high caloric needs, so sugar and other simple carbohydrates are commonly on the menu for dokkalfar for short bursts of energy they need throughout the day, while protein is needed to help maintain the muscle mass they require to do all the funny bug stuff they do.
since they dont consume grains, they consume their carbohydrates from root vegetables/tubers, nuts/seeds, legumes, fruit, fungus, and some easy to digest leafy greens (rarely). sometimes they even consume the flowering bodies of plants. because of their high caloric needs and how fast they go through energy, fruit is a common form of replenishing energy, and its very common for dokkalfar to snack on various fruits they find throughout the day.
since dokkalfar have a few cities along the coastline of their western-most territory, dokkalfar in the west have taken to enjoying sea food, particularly shellfish. insects make up the majority of the protein in their diet, but they do eat pretty much any form of protein they can get their hands on.
dokkalfar typically eat many small meals throughout the day, however they also enjoy camaraderie of eating among their own kind, so even small meals can be enough to warrant gathering -- for this reason drinks like teas, coffee, and wine are all very common to drink throughout the day too to excuse a get together. dokkalfar typically have one or two big communal meals a day, usually at dawn or dusk - during the twilight hours, and many small ones with smaller groups throughout the day.
for a healthy dokkalfar, they would need a big sized meal every 6-8 hours, or small meals interspersed over 3-4 hour periods, to keep their energy levels stable. so dokkalfar can have anywhere from 4 BIG meals in a day, or 6-7 small meals in a day. thats alotta food, almost twice as much and as often as humans need -- ESPECIALLY if they are active. so they would be kinda like hobbits in that they got , breakfast, brunch, lunch, post lunch tea, supper, dinner, midnight tea---
since they have a love of sweets and a resistance to toxins, dokkalfar enjoy drinking sweet teas steeped with the leaves of plants that would impart secondary pyschoactive effects, and many of their wines are cloyingly sweet (as well as strong). dokkalfar very much enjoy black tea seeped with aromatic spices and sweetened with sugar, like chai without any milk.
they love honey, will go to great lengths to harvest honey, and beekeeping is not unheard of among the dokkalfar. though they prefer the taste of wild honey. they refine most of their sugar from sugar trees, sugar-cane-like stalks that contain insane amounts of natural glucose. the bark and natural gummy resin from the sugar trees is popular to chew on throughout the day.
candy and sweets are a cornerstone of dokkalfar food culture, and while they cannot make pastries as we might know them, they have their own ways of creating pastry-like confections from non-grain plant material. im sure they've also figured out how to extract gelatin from animal collagen.
frozen treats are also popular, as dokkalfar extract ice from the mountainous alps that line their northern most border, bring them deep into the earth, and create sort of ice boxes. this allows them to have frozen goods all year round. frozen fruit shredded on top of shaved, flavored ice is really popular in the summer months.
they harvest a lot of spices, more in line with stuff like vanilla, and cinnamon, and other 'sweet' spices or spices that can be used in a sweet context. but they do harvest their own fair share of savory spices too, like spices in line with cumin, paprika, mustard seeds, stuff like that. they export and import a lot of spices and herbs, and like to experiment with different flavors, even if they usually circle back to sweet eventually.
they dont really consume animal dairy products. the concept of milk, cheeses, yoghurt, etc are all weird and alien to them. the only sort of 'milk' products they would use would be nut milks. like something in line with walnut, soy or almond milk. eggs, however, would be used in cooking and eaten. fermented products would be very popular, as dokkalfar are experts are manipulating the environment of their underground abodes to create perfect places for food to ferment safely.
raw meat is not off the table for dokkalfar, they are capable of digesting it without much problem. raw fish, especially in western coastal towns, is not uncommon, and neither is the consumption of raw bugs. however, when they can, they prefer to cook their meals than eat them raw.

The oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) is a staple of many kinds of cuisine, prized for its mild flavors and a scent vaguely hinting at anise. These cream-colored mushrooms are also one of several types of carnivorous fungi that prey on nematodes (roundworms) in particular. The mushrooms have evolved a novel mechanism for paralyzing and killing its nematode prey: a toxin contained within lollipop-like structures called toxocysts that, when emitted, cause widespread cell death in roundworms within minutes. Scientists have now identified the specific volatile organic compound responsible for this effect, according to a new paper published in the journal Science Advances.
Carnivorous fungi like the oyster mushroom feed on nematodes because these little creatures are plentiful in soil and provide a handy protein source. Different species have evolved various mechanisms for hunting and consuming their prey. For instance, oomycetes are fungus-like organisms that send out "hunter cells" to search for nematodes. Once they find them, they form cysts near the mouth or anus of the roundworms and then inject themselves into the worms to attack the internal organs. Another group of oomycetes uses cells that behave like prey-seeking harpoons, injecting the fungal spores into the worm to seal its fate.
Other fungi produce spores with irritating shapes like stickles or stilettos. The nematodes swallow the spores, which get caught in the esophagus and germinate by puncturing the worm's gut. There are sticky branch-like structures that act like superglue; death collars that detach when nematodes swim through them, injecting themselves into the worms; and a dozen or so fungal species employ snares that constrict in under a second, squeezing the nematodes to death.
The oyster mushroom eschews these physical traps in favor of a chemical mechanism. P. ostreatus is what's known as a "wood rotter" that targets dead trees, but wood is relatively poor in protein. Its long branching filaments (called hyphae) are the part of the 'shroom that grows into the rotting wood. Those hyphae are home to the toxocysts. When nematodes encounter the toxocysts, the cysts burst, and the nematodes typically become paralyzed and die within minutes. Once the prey is dead, the hyphae grow into the nematode bodies, dissolving the contents and absorbing the slurry for the nutrients.

The thing about vegetarians is because they are a cult when you leave them you go through a process of shunning, like Jehovah's Witnesses who leave their church. You get death threats, you lose everything and everyone that tied you to the movement. It's a cult, and so the diet is always more important than you. You don't just go to mass and stand up and say "This isn't working for me, guys, for these reasons such and such. You understand, right?" One day you just stop going, because you know explaining yourself is neither here nor there. Nobody wants to hear your logic and reason. It’s a cult, it runs on emotions.
You won't find that kind of attitude with Carnivore dieters, because everybody would love to have a salad. There is no ideology behind it, no one's performing, everyone I see doing it arrived at this diet out of desperation, going against all the societal pressure and standard medical advice that in due course of time they have come to realize nearly killed them. They tried Carnivore because what the hell, might as well if you're going to die of diabetes anyway, and then it worked. So you keep on going because you keep on getting better. You’d kill for a salad, though. Let’s not get started on what they would do for a dessert.
There's nothing that a Carnivore would like more than to go off this very restrictive diet that they're only doing for health reasons, and because their disabilities and chronic pain so demand it. So if you are one of the lucky few (you bastard) whose gut has healed enough that you can actually include some plant foods back and perhaps, idk, do Keto instead, people will only resent you if they're jelly. As long as you're not making yourself sick again you get no judgement.
That's because it's a diet, not a cult. People do it for their health, not for reasons.

Nutrition plays a vital role in the overall health and well-being of our feline friends. Just like humans, cats require a balanced diet to thrive and prevent health issues. However, with so many options available on the market, it can be overwhelming to choose the right food for your cat. That's where Nutritious Noms comes in. Nutritious Noms is a brand that is dedicated to providing healthy food options for cats, ensuring that they receive the nutrients they need to live a long and happy life. Key TakeawaysNutritious Noms offer healthy food options for catsUnderstanding your cat's nutritional needs is important for their healthA balanced diet is crucial for cats to maintain optimal healthLook for nutritious ingredients when choosing cat foodReading cat food labels can help you make the best choice for your cat Understanding the Nutritional Needs of Your Feline Friend Cats have unique dietary requirements that differ from other animals. They are obligate carnivores, which means that they require a diet that is high in animal protein. Protein is essential for cats as it provides them with the necessary amino acids for growth, maintenance, and repair of their body tissues. It also helps support their immune system and promotes healthy skin and coat. In addition to protein, cats also require a moderate amount of fat in their diet. Fat provides them with energy and helps with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. It also adds flavor to their food, making it more palatable. Carbohydrates, on the other hand, are not an essential nutrient for cats. While they can digest and utilize carbohydrates to some extent, their bodies are designed to primarily rely on protein and fat for energy. Therefore, it is important to choose cat foods that are low in carbohydrates and high in quality animal protein. Vitamins and minerals are also crucial for a cat's overall health. These micronutrients play various roles in their body, including supporting their immune system, promoting healthy bones and teeth, and aiding in digestion. It is important to ensure that your cat's food contains a proper balance of vitamins and minerals to meet their specific needs. The Importance of a Balanced Diet for Cats Feeding your cat a balanced diet is crucial for their overall health and well-being. A balanced diet provides them with the necessary nutrients they need to thrive and prevents the development of health issues. When a cat's diet is unbalanced, it can lead to various health problems. For example, a diet that is too high in carbohydrates can lead to obesity and diabetes in cats. Cats are not designed to process large amounts of carbohydrates, and their bodies may struggle to regulate blood sugar levels when they consume excessive amounts of carbs. Similarly, a diet that is too low in protein can lead to muscle wasting and weakness in cats. Protein is essential for maintaining lean muscle mass and supporting their overall strength and vitality. Without enough protein in their diet, cats may become lethargic and experience a decline in their overall health. Furthermore, an unbalanced diet can also lead to deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals. These deficiencies can manifest as various health issues, including poor coat quality, weakened immune system, and even organ dysfunction. It is important to provide your cat with a balanced diet that meets all of their nutritional needs to prevent these issues from arising. Top Nutritious Ingredients to Look for in Cat Food Ingredient Nutrient Benefits Recommended Amount Chicken High-quality protein, amino acids, and essential fatty acids At least 25% of the total ingredients Salmon Omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and vitamin D At least 10% of the total ingredients Spinach Vitamins A, C, and K, iron, and antioxidants At least 5% of the total ingredients Pumpkin Fiber, vitamin A, and potassium
At least 5% of the total ingredients Blueberries Antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin C At least 5% of the total ingredients When choosing cat food, it is important to look for specific ingredients that provide optimal nutrition for your feline friend. Here are some of the top nutritious ingredients to look for: 1. High-quality animal protein: Look for cat foods that list a high-quality source of animal protein as the first ingredient. This could include chicken, turkey, fish, or beef. Animal protein provides cats with the essential amino acids they need for growth and maintenance of their body tissues. 2. Healthy fats: Look for cat foods that contain healthy fats such as omega-3 fatty acids. These fats help support a healthy coat and skin, reduce inflammation, and promote overall heart health. 3. Digestible carbohydrates: While cats do not require a large amount of carbohydrates, it is important to choose cat foods that contain digestible carbohydrates such as sweet potatoes or peas. These carbohydrates provide a source of energy and fiber for cats. 4. Essential vitamins and minerals: Look for cat foods that contain a proper balance of essential vitamins and minerals. These micronutrients are crucial for supporting your cat's overall health and well-being. Some cat food brands that prioritize these nutritious ingredients include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, and Blue Buffalo. These brands offer a wide range of options that cater to different life stages and specific dietary needs. How to Read Cat Food Labels and Choose the Best Option Reading cat food labels can be confusing, but it is an important step in choosing the best option for your feline friend. Here are some tips on how to read cat food labels: 1. Look for the AAFCO statement: The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) sets standards for pet food labeling. Look for the AAFCO statement on the label, which indicates that the food meets the minimum nutritional requirements for cats. 2. Check the ingredients list: The ingredients list is listed in descending order by weight. Look for cat foods that list high-quality animal protein as the first ingredient. Avoid foods that list fillers or by-products as the main ingredients. 3. Understand the guaranteed analysis: The guaranteed analysis provides information about the nutrient content of the food. Look for cat foods that provide a balance of protein, fat, and carbohydrates that align with your cat's specific needs. 4. Consider your cat's specific needs: Take into account your cat's age, activity level, and any specific dietary requirements they may have. For example, kittens require more calories and nutrients than adult cats, while senior cats may benefit from a diet that supports joint health. It is important to choose a cat food option that meets your cat's specific needs and preferences. Consulting with your veterinarian can also provide valuable guidance in selecting the best cat food for your feline friend. Homemade Cat Food Recipes for Optimal Nutrition Making homemade cat food can be a great way to ensure that your cat is receiving optimal nutrition. However, it is important to note that making homemade cat food requires careful planning and consultation with a veterinarian. Here are some easy-to-follow recipes for homemade cat food: 1. Chicken and Rice Recipe: - 1 cup cooked chicken (shredded) - 1/4 cup cooked rice - 1/4 cup cooked peas - 1/4 cup cooked carrots - 1/4 teaspoon fish oil (optional) Mix all the ingredients together and serve. This recipe provides a balance of protein, carbohydrates, and vegetables for your cat. 2. Salmon and Sweet Potato Recipe: - 1/2 cup cooked salmon (flaked) - 1/4 cup cooked sweet potato (mashed) - 1/4 cup cooked green beans - 1/4 teaspoon coconut oil (optional) Mix all the ingredients together and serve. This recipe provides a good source of omega-3 fatty acids from the salmon and healthy carbohydrates from the sweet potato.
3. Beef and Pumpkin Recipe: - 1/2 cup cooked ground beef - 1/4 cup canned pumpkin - 1/4 cup cooked quinoa - 1/4 teaspoon olive oil (optional) Mix all the ingredients together and serve. This recipe provides a good source of protein from the beef and fiber from the pumpkin. It is important to consult with a veterinarian before making any dietary changes for your cat. They can provide guidance on portion sizes, additional supplements, and any specific dietary considerations based on your cat's individual needs. The Benefits of Feeding Your Cat a Raw Food Diet Feeding your cat a raw food diet has gained popularity in recent years, as it is believed to mimic their natural diet in the wild. There are several benefits associated with feeding cats a raw food diet: 1. Improved digestion: Raw food is easier for cats to digest compared to processed kibble. It contains natural enzymes and moisture that can promote healthy digestion and reduce the risk of gastrointestinal issues. 2. Healthy skin and coat: Raw food diets are often rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can improve the health of your cat's skin and coat. This can lead to reduced shedding, less dandruff, and a shinier coat. 3. Increased energy and vitality: Many cat owners report that their cats have increased energy levels and overall vitality when fed a raw food diet. This may be due to the higher nutrient content and absence of fillers and additives found in processed cat foods. However, it is important to note that feeding a raw food diet comes with risks and precautions. Raw meat can contain harmful bacteria such as Salmonella or E. coli, which can pose a risk to both cats and humans. It is important to handle raw meat safely and follow proper hygiene practices when preparing raw food for your cat. Common Nutritional Deficiencies in Cats and How to Address Them Despite our best efforts, cats can still develop nutritional deficiencies if their diet is not properly balanced. Here are some common nutritional deficiencies in cats and how to address them: 1. Taurine deficiency: Taurine is an essential amino acid for cats that plays a crucial role in their heart health, vision, and reproductive system. A deficiency in taurine can lead to serious health issues such as heart disease and blindness. To address taurine deficiency, ensure that your cat's diet includes high-quality animal protein sources such as chicken or fish. 2. Vitamin D deficiency: Vitamin D is important for calcium absorption and bone health in cats. A deficiency in vitamin D can lead to weak bones and teeth. To address vitamin D deficiency, provide your cat with a balanced diet that includes foods rich in vitamin D, such as fatty fish or egg yolks. You can also consult with your veterinarian about vitamin D supplements if necessary. 3. Omega-3 fatty acid deficiency: Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for cats as they provide anti-inflammatory benefits and support a healthy coat and skin. A deficiency in omega-3 fatty acids can lead to dry skin, dull coat, and increased inflammation. To address omega-3 fatty acid deficiency, consider adding fish oil or other sources of omega-3 fatty acids to your cat's diet. It is important to note that if you suspect your cat has a nutritional deficiency, it is best to consult with a veterinarian. They can perform tests to determine the specific deficiency and provide appropriate recommendations for addressing it. Dietary Restrictions and Special Needs for Cats with Health Issues Cats with certain health issues may require dietary restrictions or special needs to manage their condition. Here are some examples of health issues and the corresponding dietary changes needed: 1. Diabetes: Cats with diabetes require a diet that is low in carbohydrates and high in protein. This helps regulate their blood sugar levels and prevent spikes in insulin production. Feeding small, frequent meals throughout the day can also help manage their condition. 2. Kidney disease: Cats with kidney disease require a diet that is low in phosphorus and sodium.
This helps reduce the workload on their kidneys and prevents further damage. Feeding a wet food diet can also help increase their hydration levels. 3. Food allergies: Cats with food allergies may require a limited ingredient diet or a novel protein diet. This involves feeding them a diet that contains only one source of protein and one source of carbohydrate that they have not been exposed to before. This helps identify and eliminate the allergen from their diet. It is important to consult with a veterinarian if your cat has a health issue that requires dietary changes. They can provide personalized recommendations based on your cat's specific needs and condition. Making Healthy Food Choices for Your Cat In conclusion, nutrition plays a crucial role in the overall health and well-being of our feline friends. Providing them with a balanced diet that meets their specific nutritional needs is essential for preventing health issues and promoting longevity. Nutritious Noms is dedicated to providing healthy food options for cats, ensuring that they receive the nutrients they need to thrive. When choosing cat food, it is important to look for high-quality ingredients that provide optimal nutrition. Reading cat food labels and understanding the ingredients list and guaranteed analysis can help you make informed choices. Homemade cat food can also be a great option, but it requires careful planning and consultation with a veterinarian. Feeding your cat a raw food diet can have benefits, but it also comes with risks and precautions. It is important to handle raw meat safely and follow proper hygiene practices. Additionally, cats with health issues may require dietary restrictions or special needs to manage their condition. Ultimately, making healthy food choices for your cat is a responsibility that should not be taken lightly. By prioritizing their nutrition, you can ensure that they live a long and happy life. Consult with your veterinarian for personalized recommendations and support in making the best choices for your feline friend. FAQs What is healthy food for cats?

Top Cat Foods- The Best Nutrition Choices for Your Feline Friend
Choosing the best cat food for your feline friend can be a daunting task given the plethora of options available in the market. Each cat has unique dietary needs based on age, health status, and preferences, so it's essential to consider these factors when selecting the right food. Here, we’ll explore the key considerations for choosing cat food and recommend some top brands that consistently receive high marks from veterinarians and pet owners.
Key Considerations for Choosing Cat Food
Nutritional Balance: Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning they require a diet high in animal-based proteins. Look for cat foods that list a high-quality source of protein, such as chicken, beef, or fish, as the first ingredient. Essential nutrients such as taurine, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals should also be present to support overall health.
Life Stage and Health Needs: Cats have different nutritional requirements at different stages of life. Kittens need food that supports growth and development, while adult cats require maintenance formulas. Senior cats might benefit from diets designed to support joint health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Additionally, cats with specific health issues, like kidney disease or food allergies, may need specialized diets.
Wet vs. Dry Food: Wet food is beneficial for hydration, as it contains a higher moisture content, which is crucial for cats that don’t drink much water. Dry food, on the other hand, is convenient and can help with dental health by reducing plaque and tartar buildup. Many cat owners opt for a combination of both to provide balanced nutrition and hydration.
Ingredient Quality: Avoid cat foods with fillers like corn, soy, and wheat, as these can be harder for cats to digest and may lead to food sensitivities. Opt for foods with natural preservatives and without artificial colors and flavors. High-quality cat foods often include a mix of muscle meat, organs, and sometimes bone, mimicking a natural diet.
Top Recommended Cat Food Brands
Royal Canin: Royal Canin offers a wide range of specialized diets tailored to specific breeds, life stages, and health conditions. Their foods are developed with the help of veterinarians and nutritionists, ensuring balanced nutrition.
Hill’s Science Diet: Hill’s Science Diet is known for its rigorous quality standards and scientific approach to pet nutrition. They offer a variety of options, including those for weight management, sensitive stomachs, and urinary health.
Blue Buffalo: Blue Buffalo prides itself on using high-quality, natural ingredients. Their Blue Wilderness line, in particular, is grain-free and high in protein, catering to the carnivorous nature of cats.
Wellness: Wellness provides both wet and dry food options, focusing on natural ingredients and holistic nutrition. Their CORE line is grain-free and rich in protein, ideal for maintaining lean muscle mass.
Purina Pro Plan: Purina Pro Plan offers targeted nutrition with formulas designed for specific needs such as hairball control, sensitive skin, and digestive health. They combine high-quality ingredients with scientific expertise.
Conclusion
Selecting the best cat food involves understanding your cat’s specific nutritional requirements and considering factors such as ingredient quality, life stage, and health conditions. Brands like Royal Canin, Hill’s Science Diet, Blue Buffalo, Wellness, and Purina Pro Plan have established themselves as leaders in the pet food industry, offering a range of products designed to meet the diverse needs of cats. Always consult with your veterinarian before making any significant changes to your cat’s diet to ensure it meets their health and nutritional needs. By providing a well-balanced, high-quality diet, you can help ensure your cat leads a healthy, happy life.

Dinosaurs displayed fast growth from the beginning 
Tumblr media
WASHINGTON – One of the traits that helped make the dinosaurs such an evolutionary success story -– thriving for 165 million years – was their fast growth rate, from massive meat-eaters like Tyrannosaurus to immense planteaters like Argentinosaurus.
But when did this characteristic first appear?
A new study indicates it was present in the earliest dinosaurs, as revealed by microscopic features in bone fossils from Argentina that showed that they exhibited growth rates on par with those of today’s mammals and birds.
Rapid growth offers numerous advantages.
“Growing quickly allows organisms to escape the risky business of being small for a long part of their life history. It also allows them more time to reproduce throughout their lifespan, which imparts a measure of evolutionary fitness, generation by generation,” said paleontologist Kristi Curry Rogers of Macalester College in Minnesota, lead author of the study published this month in the journal PLOS ONE.
The researchers examined patterns preserved within the bones of dinosaurs and some of their cousins that inhabited northwestern Argentina between about 231 and 229 million years ago.
“The organization of minute bone mineral crystals and proteins, along with blood vessels and cellular organization, all reflect relative speed of growth,” Curry Rogers said. “Of course, all these soft squishy parts have long since decayed, millions of years ago, when these bones were becoming fossils. But all the hard parts that persist through time record the spaces where these soft parts once were. This allows us to reconstruct and compare growth patterns among animals.”
The researchers studied five early dinosaurs – all bipedal, fleet-footed, and with clawed, grasping hands and sharp teeth.
Three were meat-eaters, forerunners of massive predators such as T. rex and Giganotosaurus.
Herrerasaurus and Sanjuansaurus were around 10-15 feet long, while Eodromaeus was about the size of a turkey.
The other two – similarly turkeysized Eoraptor and Chromogisaurus – were forerunners of long-necked, fourlegged giants such as Argentinosaurus and Dreadnoughtus.
All five showed signs of exceptionally fast growth.
But the researchers also got a bit of a surprise when they discovered that some of the non-dinosaur reptiles in these ancient Argentine ecosystems were keeping pace, having their own speedy growth rates.
“Dinosaurs arose from humble origins, starting off as small, bipedal carnivores, who were themselves dominated by a diverse array of other ruling reptiles,” Curry Rogers said.
Quick growth was detected in fearsome four-legged crocodile-like Saurosuchus, the dominant terrestrial predator of its time at about 23 feet long, as well as crocodile relatives Proterochampsa and Trialestes.
Other animals including tusked plant-eating reptile Hyperodapedon and mammal-like reptile Exaeretodon also grew quickly, but regularly paused their growth throughout life – a pattern distinctive from the continuous fast growth of dinosaurs.
The first dinosaurs and these other animals evolved during the Triassic Period.
Tumblr media
This was in the aftermath of Earth’s worst mass extinction 252 million years ago at the end of the Permian Period.
About 95% of species were lost amid severe climate change apparently caused by massive Siberian volcanic activity

Coelacanths, also known as “living fossils,” have been around for over 400 million years and have survived multiple mass extinctions. These ancient creatures have fascinated scientists and the general public alike for their unique physical and behavioral characteristics. But one aspect of their lifestyle that often goes unnoticed is their diet – and for these deep-sea denizens, it’s all about balance and harmony.
Coelacanths are strictly carnivorous, meaning they feed on other animals. However, their diet is not just about consuming any food source that comes their way. Instead, they follow a macrobiotic diet that is rooted in the principles of Taoism – a Chinese philosophy that emphasizes the balance of yin and yang, or opposing forces, for overall well-being.
The macrobiotic diet, made popular by Michio Kushi, a Japanese-American advocate and leader in the natural food and macrobiotic movement, is centered around whole, pure, and prepared foods. It places a strong emphasis on incorporating fresh, unprocessed, and naturally grown ingredients, such as vegetables, grains, beans, and seafood, into one’s diet.
For the coelacanths, this diet is essential for their survival in the deep sea environment. These creatures live in pitch-black, cold waters, where food sources are scarce and limited. Their diet mainly consists of smaller fish, squid, and crustaceans, and they have been known to occasionally feed on jellyfish and plankton.
But why is a macrobiotic diet necessary for the coelacanths? According to scientists, it all comes down to the delicate balance of nutrients and energy intake. In the deep sea, resources are scarce, and any wasted energy can be fatal. By following a macrobiotic diet, the coelacanths are able to efficiently derive essential nutrients from their meals and maintain balance in their bodies.
For instance, their main prey, smaller fish, is rich in protein, necessary for growth and energy. However, too much protein in their diet can also lead to nitrogen imbalance and cause harm to their bodies. Therefore, by consuming a variety of food sources and balancing their intake of protein, carbohydrates, and fats – as emphasized in the macrobiotic diet – the coelacanths can maintain their health and survive in their harsh environment.
Moreover, the macrobiotic diet also takes into account the quality and purity of food sources. In the deep sea, where pollution is minimal, the coelacanths can benefit from consuming natural and unprocessed foods that are free from harmful chemicals and additives.
In conclusion, the coelacanths’ macrobiotic diet can be traced back to the ancient principles of balance and harmony, as seen in Taoist philosophy. By incorporating this dietary approach into their lifestyle, these ancient creatures have been able to adapt and thrive in their unique deep-sea habitats for millions of years. Perhaps, there is something to be learned from these living fossils, as we strive to find the perfect balance in our own diets and lives.

High Protein Cat Food: A Nutritional Guide for Your Feline Friend
In the world of feline nutrition, providing your beloved pet with the right diet is paramount to their overall health and well-being. One essential aspect of cat nutrition that often gets overlooked is the protein content in their food. Just like humans, cats require a diet rich in protein to thrive, and choosing the right high protein cat food can make a significant difference in their quality of life.
Understanding Cat Nutrition
Before delving into the specifics of high protein cat food, it's crucial to understand the nutritional needs of our feline companions. Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning their diet should primarily consist of meat. Proteins are the building blocks of muscle, tissues, and organs, making them essential for a cat's growth and development.
Benefits of High Protein Cat Food
Feeding your cat high protein cat food comes with a myriad of benefits. Firstly, it helps to support lean muscle mass, keeping your cat agile and active. Additionally, a protein-rich diet aids in weight management, as it keeps cats feeling fuller for longer periods, reducing the likelihood of overeating and obesity. Moreover, protein is vital for maintaining healthy skin, coat, and overall immune function in cats.
Tumblr media
Choosing the Right High Protein Cat Food
When selecting high protein cat food for your furry friend, it's essential to consider several factors. Look for products that list a high-quality protein source, such as chicken, turkey, or fish, as the primary ingredient.

Opt for reputable brands that prioritize the nutritional needs of cats and have a proven track record of producing high-quality pet food.
Top Brands Offering High Protein Cat Food

Some popular brands known for their high protein cat food formulations include Royal Canin, Blue Buffalo, Hill's Science Diet, and Orijen.
Transitioning Your Cat to High Protein Diet
Switching your cat to a high protein diet requires careful planning and gradual transition to prevent digestive upset. Start by mixing small amounts of the new food with their current diet and gradually increase the proportion of high protein food over several days. Monitor your cat's response closely and make adjustments as needed to ensure a smooth transition.
Common Misconceptions About High Protein Cat Food
Despite the numerous benefits of high protein cat food, there are several misconceptions surrounding its use. Some pet owners worry that a high protein diet may put additional strain on their cat's kidneys or lead to urinary tract issues. However, when formulated correctly, high protein cat food is safe and beneficial for cats of all ages and breeds.
Tumblr media
DIY High Protein Cat Food Recipes
For pet owners who prefer to take a more hands-on approach to their cat's nutrition, there are plenty of DIY high protein cat food recipes available online. These recipes often include a combination of lean meats, organ meats, and nutrient-rich vegetables to provide a well-balanced meal for your feline companion. Just be sure to consult with your veterinarian before making any significant changes to your cat's diet.
The Importance of Regular Vet Check-ups
In addition to providing your cat with a nutritious diet, regular veterinary check-ups are essential for maintaining their overall health and well-being. Your veterinarian can offer personalized recommendations based on your cat's specific needs and monitor for any underlying health issues that may arise.
Tumblr media
Understanding Cat Allergies and Dietary Restrictions
Like humans, cats can develop allergies and sensitivities to certain foods. If you suspect that your cat has a food allergy or dietary restriction, it's essential to work closely with your veterinarian to identify the culprit and make necessary dietary adjustments. Common allergens in cat food include grains, dairy, and certain protein sources like beef or fish.
Conclusion

This means incorporating a variety of nutrient-rich foods, including lean meats, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. By doing so, you not only provide essential vitamins and minerals but also add flavor and texture to keep mealtime exciting for your furry friend.
When it comes to sourcing ingredients for homemade dog fitness food, quality is key. Opt for fresh, locally sourced produce whenever possible, and choose organic options to minimize exposure to pesticides and other harmful chemicals. While it may require a bit more effort and investment upfront, investing in high-quality ingredients ultimately pays off in the form of improved health and vitality for your dog.
Now, let's delve into a simple yet nutritious recipe for homemade dog fitness food that's sure to get tails wagging:

Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning their bodies require nutrients found exclusively in animal products to thrive. One crucial nutrient is taurine, vital for heart and eye health, primarily sourced from meat. Attempting to make cats vegan can lead to severe health issues, including malnutrition and organ failure. Cats lack the ability to efficiently process plant-based nutrients like humans, making a vegan diet inappropriate for them. Protein from animal sources is essential for maintaining their muscle mass and overall well-being. Without sufficient protein, cats may experience weakness, lethargy, and poor coat quality. Inadequate nutrition can compromise their immune system, leaving them vulnerable to diseases. Properly formulated commercial cat food provides the necessary balance of nutrients for feline health. It's crucial for cat owners to prioritize their pet's dietary needs over personal dietary beliefs. Consulting with a veterinarian is essential for ensuring cats receive a diet tailored to their unique requirements. #cats #catscantbevegan #stopforcingyourbelievesonanimalsthatcantcontrolwhattheyeat
