You neither offended or upset me.  I would argue just as hard for any claims
that were made across the board without some substance to back them up.

That's fine, but for what it's worth, I have heard *alot* of claims made
from the Whole Horse Journal that are just palin wrong.  Not a difference of
opinion, not a difference in lifestyle.  Wrong.  JMO, I wouldn't count on it
as a source of solid information.

This is just out of curiousity, may I ask what it is?  You can reply
privately if you like.  I only ask because I can recommend some sources for
clinical nutrition, but they're not light reading if you don't have the
physiology background already.

No problem with that whatsoever.  I just think it was important to point out
that there were some serious flaws in the article you were quoting.  Not a
thing wrong with any of your opinions, even if they might not coincide with
mine.
