“This trend was clear and consistent and these results largely concur with previous, similar studies. A sizeable body of studies have been published within the last two years, exploring health outcomes of vegan diets in cats and dogs, and the environmental impacts of meat-based pet food. This evidence is remarkably consistent—nutritionally sound vegan diets produce health outcomes as good or better, and are associated with major environmental benefits.”

      Yah, or maybe because it smells like bullshit. All data is based on surveys from “normal” people (non-scientists), on a topic that is highly politicized, and by practitioners of one side often followed with what looks like religious fervor. The participants distribution is neither 50/50 for the compared options nor representative for the general populace of cat owners. It is pretty safe to assume bias in the reporting. Not a single cat was actually examined by the “researchers”. This has almost all the hallmarks of bad science. That it is published in a purportedly peer reviewed magazine, does not reflect well on that magazine.
