I'm not sure on on this one. It should be okay feeding omnivores on animal products, with rigorous controls in place of course. But not with my own animals.

You cant feed one of your eggs from your free range birds even hard boiled.  You cant give them a carrot if its been in your kitchen but you CAN feed them animal products if its in the commercially produced feed.  I rest my case.  MADNESS

Says it all.  Anyone care to take a wager on the source of the next big disease outbreak...?

The only positive thing I saw in the article was the recognition that omnivores do best with some animal protein in their diet.

My hens eat worms  :D
