: It seems like I'm cursed/blessed to talk about pyramiding. Some times I'm not sure what I believe- we've had so many of these discussions.
I think there is quite a bit of genetics involved that has nothing to do with health or food selection. Take the Chinese hairless dog--poor thing is almost completely hairless, all wrinkled skin with hair on top of its head and on its paws. But it is supposed to look this way, thats how they were born and thats how they look when they get older. Now, if you had a german shepard or a cocker spaniel and it had no hair you would think that there is something not right about the dog, and you would be correct in that assumption.
Genetics/Diet...?
