Do you believe any top-level competitor in sports nowadays does it without taking doping?

I mean, can you cycle 30 days in the tour de France on healthy food and win the race?

where can I look to find healthy food ideas for everyday life?

I’m still a little confused about all these dog foods….. Advice?

Currently, we are using Purina Pro-Plan Puppy for small breeds. I’ve always been told that you need to look at the first 5 ingredients to determine if its a healthy food. I also know that real meat needs to be the first ingredient listed. No “by product” or anything like that. However, I’m confused about the grains. Is there suppose to be grains or not? Some people say yes, some say no. When I’ve had foods recommended to me, I read the first 5 ingredients and there always seems to be at least one thing that I’ve been told to avoid. lol I’m so confused. I’ve spoken with people at Petsmart, I’ve talked to my vet, I’ve talked to friends, I’ve talked with my breeder….. Everyone has slightly different advice and I’m still confused. lol

Here’s the first 5 ingredients of the food I’m currently using:
-Chicken
-Corn Gluten Meal
-Brewers Rice
-Whole Grain Corn
-Animal Fat preserved with Vitamin E (this just sounds weird. lol)

If someone could please tell me if its okay. If its not, what exactly is not good for them (and why if you don’t mind elaborating)? I’m just looking for a little education. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Earth Witch. GREAT site. Thanks, I’ve never seen that one before.

I hate trusting my vet and people at Petsmart about food because I feel like they are “sponsored” by a certain brand of food, so of course their gonna chat it up. Everyone has been helpful so far. Thanks so much!

Hunters, Do you eat what you hunt?

I have been hunting all of my life, I have taught my son that hunting is a sport 3rd and should be viewed 1st as a natural and healthy food source with meats that have no added chemicals and 2nd as a way to preserve a healthy animal population.

Getting to the question, What are some of the more “exotic” animals that you hunt &eat and where do you get your recipes? Don’t answer Deer, but if you hunt coon, muskrat, wild hogs, gator, bear, etc… let me know.

For extra credit, is there public hunting where you are that will produce some of these critters or is it hard to get land owner permission to hunt some of these? I’d love to experience different hunts with my son. Thanks everyone.
