I dont feed it either. im now using masterfeeds. and guess what they have changed there package to 100% recyclable n added a statement to show their commitment to a sustainable future.
A very Wise man once told me to let the experts make the feed, there are many years of science behind them. something clicked in my head and it all made sense. I follow all the instructions on the bag and dont add anything at all.
It's a fine statement to make re: back of the bag, but where's their data? Are they using pesticides, fungicides and herbicides on crops? Because that is not sustainable. Are they growing GMO's or source GMO's? Because that's not sustainable. What are they doing that is different that most are governed to do anyways? Who funds their research? Are their nutritional values based on a 6-12 week old meat chicken, a 2 year egg laying flock or?? Do they have a lab where they are testing the consequences of the GMO and toxins used in their crops and the effects on the birds?
Green washing is at an all time high, and typically if a company is proud of what they're doing it is in bold print, clearly defined, not hidden under a bunch of nice sounding words.
