Cook Method and Temperature
Their Cook Method
◦ Superheated at 600+ degrees at huge rendering factories in order to kill live parasites, harmful bacteria, viruses, and microbes, not to mention insects that infest rotting (including maggots which make up a large percentage of the meat's volume)
◦ Nutrient values are destroyed and therefore require re-saturation of vitamins and minerals with soluble and insoluble supplements
◦ Sulfur, sulfides, disulfides, tocopherols, albumen, and plasticizing agents are used to reduce rancidity
Our Cook Method
◦ Meat and vegetables are slow cooked at a loving, gentle 250° to preserve nutrient value
◦ No oils, salts, or garlic are added
◦ Nothing but fresh whole meats and freshly picked vegetables
Food Presentation
Their Food
◦ Dried, predigested, overly processed chunks of matter with nominal nutrional value after high-temp cooking
◦ Relies entirely on vitamin and mineral supplements that are minimally absorbable
◦ Sulfur, sulfides, disulfides, tocopherols, albumen, and plasticizing agents are used to reduce rancidity
Our Food
◦ All food is in whole form, enabling optimal digestive tract utilization and metabolic absorption
◦ Nutrient value is maximized through carefully balanced ingredients that remain fluid throughout the cooking process
