Why arn't there complete nutrition cubes yet?

[Anonymous No.13707301]

It turns out the mechanics of nutrition are more complicated than simply ingesting raw or concentrated minerals and really no one can agree on the totality of what a body needs anyway.

But if you'd like to try anyway then there are plenty of products that make a good faith attempt, however misguided.

[Anonymous No.13707622]

I would eat them too. Its probably difficult to put raw nutrient powder/vitamins/etc into a product and hit 100% daily value needed. Or even 25/33% per bar so you eat 4/3 per day.

Maybe it just doesn't fit together into like a stable shape or something you know what I mean? Or it tastes supremely bad or when cooked/baked into a bar it fails as a meal/nutrient vehicle or whatever. And if it was put into a pill or capsule it would be fucking massive or you'd have to take multiple handfuls at once of all the pills.

Plus it wouldn't solve the problem of needing hydration, you'd still have to drink water.

They can't though. Most kibble has grain based filler which triggers all sorts of canine allergies.

Apparently potatoes do give you almost everything you need but you'll end up being deficient in a few things like B12 and selenium if that's all you eat. Just having some milk or meat once in a while with it would probably be enough though.

[Anonymous No.13710605]

>>13707603
I've tried it. It's perfectly fine, if a little bland and boring. The problem prisoners have with it is that doing time is almost uniformly bland and boring. Food is one of the few variations of any given day, and getting robbed of that is just kicking a dude in the dick when they're already down. Eat one thing exclusively for a few weeks, and it's going to suck. Couple that with all the other routine bullshit of incarceration, and you'll absolutely have some stir crazy motherfuckers calling cruelty.
But prisons are full of short sighted idiots that have no comprehension of cause and effect relating to their actions, and they'll consider *any* punishment as cruel and unusual.

>Why can dogs live off of the same kibble for 15 years and be healthy and happy?

they dont. That cheap kibble is the reason your dog is sitting on all kinds of internal damage you dont know about until your dog just dies one day because dogs have evolved to be stoic about the pain they are in. Same for cats. If you pet your cats stomach and it immediately tries to bite you, its because it hurts because your cat is corn and wheatfed instead of meatfed

[Anonymous No.13711703]

>>13707289
a few reasons, biggest I see is
Nobody can agree what good nutrition is, and it has gotten far far worse as lobbyist and big money have push changes. I think it varies person to person, but their should be a few general blends that cover most situations.

Back when they everyone demanded low fat milk, the dairy folks had so much fat left they had to pay high waste disposal fees. So they stater making low fat milk and pushing high fat cheese, as they just moved things around. Market was flooded with so much cheap fat that double cheese pizza was born as a backroom deal to dump it. They also nearly got the nutrition fat limit raised by 3 times, but few congressmen refused to go along and ruined the plan. Let that sink in, a few good people in congress was what save us from new triple fat limits becoming part of our nutrition standards.

I use SPIRU-TEIN as significant powdered meal supplement, and it has worked wonders. But I still eat normal foods as well.

Because the cats and dogs can't actually live off most forms of kibble.
They develop allergies to the filler, and has trouble digesting the filler.

And if you feed them raw meat, you need to vary heart/liver/lung/muscle/cartilage to avoid long term malnutrition. Dogs just have it easier since they can chew trough bone.

And thats a big problem with nutrition packages for humans as well:
There is a difference between what you can digest properly for years on end, and what is nutritious after trying to digest the nutrients.
Some kind of preserved meat would be ideal, if you found a reasonable way to preserve it that doesn't involve salt or nitrates.

>>13707637
Thats also a good point.
80-90 years vs 10-15 is a huge difference.
That said, it do pop up for longer lived breeds. Since size vs lungs vs heart ratios do impact long term lifespan.
