Why It Matters
More Than Pet Food: Why the Raw Meaty Bones Campaign Matters
The campaign began with preventable suffering in the mouths of dogs and cats. Its central proposition is larger: the mouth may help regulate the carnivore; where that carnivore is a higher-order ecological regulator, events at the oral interface may influence populations and ecosystems.
The documents below connect the immediate raw meaty bones message with a new way of thinking about life, health, disease, death, scientific method and institutional responsibility. They do not ask for uncritical belief. They ask that the natural comparator be restored, the feedback loops be mapped and the Cybernetic Hypothesis be subjected to organised investigation.
WHY IT MATTERS
The shortest entrance to the governing idea
Food, oral function, gums, microorganisms and immunity may regulate the carnivore; the carnivore may regulate the ecosystem. This paper explains why that proposition changes the meaning of prevention, disease and research.
