00:00:49.740 --> 00:01:00.100
Genie Joseph: And I have with us Michele Broderick, and she is the daughter of a very famous veterinarian, and his name is Geoffrey Broderick, and he's written a wonderful book, which I've read half of.
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:06.520
Genie Joseph: It's called Compassion for Pets, for those of you who are seeing us on video, and for those of you not, you can find it online.

Genie Joseph: And we're so excited to have you here, Michele.
00:01:10.020 --> 00:01:11.340
Genie Joseph: Say hello to everyone.
00:01:11.880 --> 00:01:13.000
Michele Broderick: Oh, hello everyone.
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:14.500
Michele Broderick: Thank you so much for having me.
00:01:15.080 --> 00:01:16.560
Michele Broderick: I'm honored to be on your show.
00:01:16.580 --> 00:01:17.400
Michele Broderick: This is wonderful.
00:01:17.960 --> 00:01:18.400
Genie Joseph: Great.
00:01:18.700 --> 00:01:22.820
Genie Joseph: Well, just briefly tell us about your dad and what he did and why he did it.
00:01:24.580 --> 00:01:26.640
Michele Broderick: Okay, so my father, Dr.
00:01:26.700 --> 00:01:26.900
Michele Broderick: R.
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:32.380
Michele Broderick: Geoffrey Broderick, full service veterinarian surgeon for over 50 years.
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:44.360
Michele Broderick: At the beginning of his practice, which would have been in the very, very early 70s, realized that there was nothing healthy to feed his sick animals recovering in the animal hospital.
00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:51.580
Michele Broderick: So he started concocting his own recipe at home and bringing it into the office in ball mason jars.
00:01:51.880 --> 00:01:54.480
Michele Broderick: And the results were so phenomenal.
00:01:55.180 --> 00:02:09.000
Michele Broderick: He just couldn't believe, I mean, it was exactly what he thought it would be, but it made such a massive difference that he slowly started making his own food that became cornucopia organic pet food for dogs and cats.
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:14.840
Michele Broderick: It's 100% human grade and USDA certified organic food.
00:02:14.900 --> 00:02:20.260
Michele Broderick: Every single ingredient in every can and every flavor is 100% organic.
00:02:20.620 --> 00:02:21.460
Genie Joseph: That's fantastic.
00:02:21.480 --> 00:02:24.040
Genie Joseph: And I can attest to the fact that it's human grade.
00:02:24.060 --> 00:02:26.500
Genie Joseph: I tasted it before I gave it to my dogs.
00:02:26.780 --> 00:02:27.420
Michele Broderick: All right.
00:02:29.320 --> 00:02:34.480
Michele Broderick: My dad always tastes every single batch when it's being made.
00:02:35.420 --> 00:02:37.240
Michele Broderick: That's something he's always done.
00:02:37.320 --> 00:02:43.320
Michele Broderick: And he's often tasted it in front of his customers and his animal hospital clients.
00:02:44.100 --> 00:02:46.420
Michele Broderick: He's become quite famous for that over the years.
00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:47.840
Genie Joseph: Yes, yes, yes.
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:48.800
Genie Joseph: Well, that's excellent.
00:02:48.820 --> 00:02:49.100
Genie Joseph: Great.
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:53.700
Genie Joseph: Yeah, I mean, it's like, why would we feed food to our pets that we wouldn't eat ourselves?
00:02:54.440 --> 00:02:55.880
Michele Broderick: Exactly, exactly.
00:02:55.900 --> 00:02:57.700
Michele Broderick: That's always been one of his mottos.
00:02:58.020 --> 00:02:58.500
Genie Joseph: Yeah.
00:02:59.020 --> 00:03:04.120
Genie Joseph: So let's talk a little bit, let's go to the dark side for a moment and talk about the pet food that's out there.
00:03:04.140 --> 00:03:19.200
Genie Joseph: I know like, in your dad's generation and even earlier, dogs were given human-grade food, the so-called table scraps and things like this, that the pet food industry convinced us we should never do because they couldn't make any money on that.
00:03:19.760 --> 00:03:20.800
Michele Broderick: That's right, exactly.
00:03:20.820 --> 00:03:26.060
Michele Broderick: Our grandparents and everyone before them fed healthy human table scraps.
00:03:26.180 --> 00:03:27.720
Michele Broderick: There was no pet food to feed.
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:36.000
Michele Broderick: Pet food technically started in maybe the 50s, but it really didn't become full swing until I was a child.
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:41.580
Michele Broderick: So really, we're talking about the late 60s, early 70s, but not even really.
00:03:41.600 --> 00:03:46.260
Michele Broderick: I mean, even back then, there was only a few pet foods, there were only a couple of brands.
00:03:47.020 --> 00:03:53.120
Michele Broderick: And prior to that time, all pets have always been fed healthy human table scraps.
00:03:53.140 --> 00:03:53.540
Michele Broderick: That's it.
00:03:53.600 --> 00:03:55.960
Michele Broderick: That's all there was to feed, there was no other option.
00:03:55.980 --> 00:03:59.260
Michele Broderick: And these pets lived forever, and nobody ever went to the vet.
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:01.760
Michele Broderick: It was unheard of to take your dog or your cat to the vet.
00:04:02.040 --> 00:04:07.580
Michele Broderick: Vets were for large animals, for the family farm, and even sometimes for people.
00:04:08.380 --> 00:04:20.680
Michele Broderick: But our dogs and cats lived, cats lived well into their 20s, and dogs lived at the very least into the late teens, if not 20.
00:04:20.700 --> 00:04:30.120
Michele Broderick: And they were healthy, and they died of old age, and there was no dying of kidney failure, liver failure, cardiomyopathy, or cancer.
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:35.740
Michele Broderick: These dogs and cats were healthy till the end because they were eating healthy food.
00:04:36.020 --> 00:04:40.880
Michele Broderick: Now, of course, human food at that time was much healthier than it is today.
00:04:41.300 --> 00:04:51.760
Michele Broderick: The earth was full of minerals that are now all depleted, and the family farm was what made up most of the population of the United States, right?
00:04:51.780 --> 00:04:58.880
Michele Broderick: So everyone was growing their own food, and the food that landed on the average American table was truly healthy.
00:04:59.260 --> 00:05:04.040
Michele Broderick: And so these animals were getting the best of the best, and that is exactly what Dr.
00:05:04.060 --> 00:05:14.260
Michele Broderick: Broderick had in mind when he was creating Cornucopia, that in harmony with what did their ancestors eat, what were they designed to eat as their daily diet?
00:05:14.700 --> 00:05:18.820
Michele Broderick: So that's what we have kept in mind when creating Cornucopia.
00:05:18.840 --> 00:05:24.840
Michele Broderick: So everything in Cornucopia is what they were meant to have, what truly is supposed to be their diet.
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:38.980
Michele Broderick: And of course, obviously, because it's USDA certified organic, there's no chemicals, preservatives, flavor, color, sugar, dye, no GMOs, no steroids, hormones, antibiotics in the meat, et cetera.
00:05:39.080 --> 00:05:42.260
Michele Broderick: Just clean, pure, human-grade, organic food.
00:05:42.740 --> 00:05:43.220
Genie Joseph: Excellent.
00:05:43.660 --> 00:05:51.080
Genie Joseph: So what are some of the things that you've noticed from the dogs and cats on commercial pet foods nowadays?
00:05:51.100 --> 00:05:52.700
Genie Joseph: What are you seeing and why?
00:05:53.900 --> 00:06:00.780
Michele Broderick: We are seeing half the lifespan that we saw, you know, my father likes to say, when he was born.
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:09.760
Michele Broderick: So, you know, we're seeing half the lifespan that we would have seen as far back as, you know, the early 40s and beyond.
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:15.520
Michele Broderick: We're seeing that instead of dying of old age, most pets die of a disease.
00:06:16.020 --> 00:06:21.740
Michele Broderick: So it's usually cardiomyopathy or some other heart issue with a dog or cancer.
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:24.980
Michele Broderick: And with a cat, it's usually kidney failure or liver failure.
00:06:25.500 --> 00:06:26.100
Michele Broderick: And why?
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:27.480
Michele Broderick: The question, of course, is why?
00:06:27.820 --> 00:06:40.480
Michele Broderick: Well, the answer is because for their entire life, they were given food filled with toxic chemicals ingredients that their bodies were not meant to have, were not meant to process.
00:06:40.900 --> 00:06:42.020
Michele Broderick: And it's the same with us.
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:47.420
Michele Broderick: I mean, take a walk down the cereal and snack aisles in the grocery store.
00:06:47.700 --> 00:06:48.600
Michele Broderick: It's appalling.
00:06:48.940 --> 00:06:49.320
Michele Broderick: Yes.
00:06:49.460 --> 00:06:55.800
Michele Broderick: It's appalling what's allowed to be in our food, let alone what's allowed to be in the pet's food.
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:56.660
Genie Joseph: Yeah.
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:09.960
Genie Joseph: So let's talk about kibble for a moment, because I know in order to make kibble, I think it has to be heated to like 400 degrees or something to kill the pathogens from all the meat byproducts and really things that we don't even want to think about that are in that kibble.
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:13.760
Genie Joseph: So it kills the pathogens, but of course it kills the nutrients also.
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:14.680
Michele Broderick: Exactly.
00:07:14.700 --> 00:07:15.620
Michele Broderick: That's the problem.
00:07:16.220 --> 00:07:22.100
Michele Broderick: All commercial dog and cat dry food, otherwise known as kibble, is all made by the same process called extrusion.
00:07:22.540 --> 00:07:27.620
Michele Broderick: And it does require such high heat at such a prolonged period of time that all the nutrients gets destroyed.
00:07:28.880 --> 00:07:32.460
Michele Broderick: So it is literally a bag with zero nutrition in it.
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:36.620
Michele Broderick: And it's a bag of chemicals and empty calories, you know, carbs.
00:07:37.760 --> 00:07:41.860
Michele Broderick: So everything we don't want them to have and nothing that we do want them to have.
00:07:42.300 --> 00:07:42.600
Michele Broderick: Right.
00:07:42.620 --> 00:07:48.240
Michele Broderick: It is literally an invention, an invention of the commercial pet food industry of convenience.
00:07:48.960 --> 00:07:50.700
Michele Broderick: And people love it because it's easy.
00:07:50.780 --> 00:08:03.160
Michele Broderick: You can, if you have big giant dogs, you can keep your dry dog food in the bag inside a garbage can with the lid on it in the garage or in a small one of those small plastic garbage cans in the pantry.
00:08:03.340 --> 00:08:07.420
Michele Broderick: And all you have to do is open up, take the lid off and scoop out what you want and you're done.
00:08:07.440 --> 00:08:09.800
Michele Broderick: And feeding your dog is as easy as that.
00:08:09.820 --> 00:08:19.080
Michele Broderick: But unfortunately, most people have no idea that they are depriving their precious animal children of nutrients.
00:08:19.420 --> 00:08:19.800
Genie Joseph: Yes.
00:08:20.200 --> 00:08:28.300
Genie Joseph: And I know that the pet food manufacturers are allowed to put a certain amount of known carcinogenic items, like 2%.
00:08:28.840 --> 00:08:36.660
Genie Joseph: But if you're feeding that food every day, then they're getting that very high, that's a lot of carcinogenic elements.
00:08:36.860 --> 00:08:37.700
Michele Broderick: It is a lot.
00:08:39.820 --> 00:08:40.180
Genie Joseph: Go ahead.
00:08:40.420 --> 00:08:42.740
Michele Broderick: I was just going to say that's a lot of what's in our food too.
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:58.960
Michele Broderick: So again, if the law allows certain ingredients that are in commercial cereal that is being fed to children at the breakfast table all across America and in snack foods that all children who are growing are getting.
00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:07.740
Michele Broderick: So if the ingredients, if that's allowed, how much more then is allowed to be in pet food?
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:08.660
Michele Broderick: They don't care.
00:09:08.880 --> 00:09:10.160
Michele Broderick: Nobody cares what's in pet food.
00:09:11.020 --> 00:09:26.540
Michele Broderick: The reason why all the big, most popular commercial pet food brands have those beautiful, fun, sweet, adorable, fabulously put together commercials is because all their money goes into advertising.
00:09:26.920 --> 00:09:30.240
Michele Broderick: So they spend as little as humanly possible on ingredients.
00:09:30.620 --> 00:09:34.460
Michele Broderick: They get away with the cheapest possible ingredients that they can.
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.600
Michele Broderick: And the focus is on making the food taste good and making the animals love it and want more.
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:40.760
Michele Broderick: What does that?
00:09:41.300 --> 00:09:42.260
Michele Broderick: Organic broccoli?
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:42.740
Michele Broderick: No.
00:09:42.920 --> 00:09:59.580
Michele Broderick: What does that is chemicals that are put into the food on purpose to make the brain addicted to it, to make them crave it, sugar to make it taste good, et cetera, just like with children's snack foods, candy, and American fast food.
00:09:59.880 --> 00:10:00.940
Michele Broderick: Same thing, right?
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:01.780
Michele Broderick: It's all the same stuff.
00:10:02.140 --> 00:10:15.160
Genie Joseph: I've heard industry insiders call it cat crack that they add to this terrible kibble to make the cats addicted to it, you know, and they spray flavor and coloring and additives on to make the animals eat it.
00:10:15.280 --> 00:10:17.660
Genie Joseph: And the owner goes, Oh, look, he loves it.
00:10:17.680 --> 00:10:18.320
Genie Joseph: He loves it.
00:10:18.340 --> 00:10:20.140
Michele Broderick: Exactly.
00:10:20.340 --> 00:10:22.180
Genie Joseph: Not realizing what they're being given.
00:10:22.300 --> 00:10:25.140
Michele Broderick: We are 100% USDA certified organic.
00:10:25.160 --> 00:10:34.880
Michele Broderick: So we use a company called, an organization called Organ Tilth, which is the strictest of the organic certification.
00:10:34.900 --> 00:10:38.760
Michele Broderick: They're just an amazing organization that we're so honored to be a part of.
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:57.660
Michele Broderick: And they, of course, are on top of everything we do and where we source all of our organic ingredients, where everything comes from and every single drop of what goes into cornucopia, it's better explained by saying that that's what's missing from everything else, right?
00:10:57.940 --> 00:11:08.040
Michele Broderick: So, yes, in this country, there are organizations that are there to monitor what goes into human and animal food.
00:11:08.060 --> 00:11:35.480
Michele Broderick: But again, like we just were saying, if GMOs are allowed to be in all processed human food, if aspartame, for example, which is 100% known to be carcinogenic, but it is a legal food additive, natural flavoring, if that's allowed to be in human food, I mean, listen, we can go as deep as you want on this.
00:11:35.920 --> 00:11:39.860
Michele Broderick: The fact that cigarettes are still legal, it's just killing everybody.
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:47.100
Michele Broderick: If aspartame and GMOs are allowed in human food, then how much less than do they care what's in pet food?
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:51.740
Michele Broderick: They're allowing ingredients into human food that are killing us.
00:11:52.540 --> 00:11:57.040
Michele Broderick: They are paying that much less attention to what goes into pet food.
00:11:57.060 --> 00:11:58.880
Michele Broderick: And of course, money is behind everything.
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:04.980
Michele Broderick: These companies, there's nothing more powerful than the pharmaceutical industry, than the tobacco industry.
00:12:05.640 --> 00:12:21.700
Michele Broderick: And these giant pet food companies are multi-billion dollar companies that again, they use the simplest, cheapest ingredients they can get their hands on, which are mostly ingredients that are what is unusable in human food.
00:12:22.400 --> 00:12:24.460
Michele Broderick: And then they pour all their money into advertising.
00:12:24.640 --> 00:12:32.300
Michele Broderick: Thus, those beautiful, impressive commercials that catch everybody's eye and is really the bottom line reason of why people go and buy those brands in the first place.
00:12:32.620 --> 00:12:35.400
Michele Broderick: That and all the beautiful packaging, that's it.
00:12:35.420 --> 00:12:41.840
Michele Broderick: No one's paying attention to what's in the food, but the proof is in what's happening to our pets.
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:43.300
Michele Broderick: That's the bottom line.
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:44.280
Genie Joseph: That's the bottom line.
00:12:44.300 --> 00:12:51.660
Genie Joseph: Yeah, I know that there are some companies that actually spend more on the physical package than they spend on the ingredients in the food.
00:12:52.060 --> 00:12:53.640
Genie Joseph: So that gives people some idea.
00:12:54.000 --> 00:13:09.840
Genie Joseph: And it's just recently they have, I forget if it was the FDA that said that those packages that all that kibble comes in is now no longer going to be allowed to continue because it has known carcinogens in the lining of the package itself.
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:12.840
Genie Joseph: So this has been going on for years and years and years.
00:13:12.860 --> 00:13:24.940
Genie Joseph: And people think, well, when Afco says guaranteed analysis from Afco, but they don't realize that Afco really has no way of ensuring quality.
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:31.320
Genie Joseph: They're just basically very concerned with labeling, making sure that there's consistency in labeling, which is not a bad thing.
00:13:31.780 --> 00:13:35.000
Genie Joseph: But the fact is they're not looking out for the quality.
00:13:35.020 --> 00:13:39.980
Genie Joseph: They're not doing what you're doing in terms of making sure it's organic, making sure a third party is evaluating it.
00:13:40.420 --> 00:13:43.820
Genie Joseph: And that's really a terrible thing in the pet industry.
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:46.520
Genie Joseph: I was one veterinarian, Dr.
00:13:46.540 --> 00:13:53.420
Genie Joseph: Marty, and he said when he was in veterinary school in 1970s, that one in ten dogs would get cancer.
00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:56.360
Genie Joseph: And it was only senior dogs that would get cancer.
00:13:56.640 --> 00:13:57.860
Genie Joseph: And today it's one in two.
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:01.880
Genie Joseph: One out of two dogs will get cancer at any age.
00:14:02.380 --> 00:14:04.440
Genie Joseph: And the difference is what they're eating.
00:14:05.160 --> 00:14:08.920
Genie Joseph: So when we come back, we're going to take a quick little break.
00:14:08.940 --> 00:14:12.820
Genie Joseph: I want you to tell us a little bit about what should be in healthy dog food.
00:14:12.860 --> 00:14:13.720
Genie Joseph: We'll be right back.

Announcer: Let's Talk Pets on Pet Life Radio.
00:14:43.580 --> 00:14:44.600
Announcer: petliferadio.com.
00:14:50.630 --> 00:14:52.790
Genie Joseph: Welcome back to The Human-Animal Connection.
00:14:53.210 --> 00:14:56.870
Genie Joseph: I have Michele Broderick, the daughter of the famous veterinarian, Dr.
00:14:56.990 --> 00:14:57.190
Genie Joseph: R.
00:14:57.210 --> 00:14:58.030
Genie Joseph: Geoffrey Broderick.
00:14:58.470 --> 00:15:04.610
Genie Joseph: And we are talking about what dogs and cats should be eating instead of what they often are eating.
00:15:04.950 --> 00:15:20.170
Genie Joseph: Now, a lot of people are wondering about raw food, and we can get into that in detail, but I just wanted to say that when the animals are in the wild, they're not just eating a chicken breast, they're eating the chicken heart, the chicken liver, the chicken feet, the feathers, fur feathers, the whole thing.
00:15:20.670 --> 00:15:26.850
Genie Joseph: And so that is one of the challenges for many people, is that they don't have a chicken to hand to their dog.
00:15:27.710 --> 00:15:33.630
Genie Joseph: You know, it's kind of gruesome to hand your dog a live thing, but you know, that's what would happen in nature.
00:15:33.650 --> 00:15:35.330
Genie Joseph: So what is the next best thing?
00:15:35.350 --> 00:15:41.270
Genie Joseph: Tell us a little bit about what you figured out needs to be in the food and what dogs and cats should be eating.
00:15:41.890 --> 00:15:42.570
Michele Broderick: Absolutely.
00:15:42.990 --> 00:15:52.070
Michele Broderick: Well, when my father graduated from veterinarian medical school in 1969, he was aware that he had formed a passion for nutrition.
00:15:52.390 --> 00:15:59.890
Michele Broderick: So he was a full service veterinarian surgeon and had his practice right here in Huntington, Long Island, New York for over 50 years.
00:15:59.910 --> 00:16:08.270
Michele Broderick: But his passion, in addition to helping animals heal, was to help animals thrive.
00:16:08.770 --> 00:16:34.210
Michele Broderick: He realized that what was out there was garbage and the food that was available on the market to feed dogs and cats was so far from what they were meant to have in the wild and what they had been eating from the healthy table scraps of the American small family farm table for so many, many, many, many generations.
00:16:34.530 --> 00:16:36.330
Michele Broderick: And so he began to create the food himself.
00:16:36.350 --> 00:16:47.490
Michele Broderick: And what he did was he spent over 50 years learning, traveling all over the world, learning from the experts in health and nutrition and organic food.
00:16:48.070 --> 00:16:54.390
Michele Broderick: And he tweaked and perfected his formula over the span of over half a century into what it is now.
00:16:54.770 --> 00:17:04.330
Michele Broderick: So we are giving, when we give animals cornucopia, we're giving them 100% clean, pure organic nutrition.
00:17:04.610 --> 00:17:07.170
Michele Broderick: So we are, there's two ways to look at it.
00:17:08.110 --> 00:17:17.710
Michele Broderick: One, we are leaving out everything that is in commercial pet food, that is killing our pets, that they are not meant to have, that their bodies are not meant to process.
00:17:18.070 --> 00:17:25.630
Michele Broderick: And that is all chemicals, preservatives, flavor, color, sugar, dyes, artificial flavors, and GMOs.
00:17:26.010 --> 00:17:44.290
Michele Broderick: And in the meat ingredients, if it's not 100% USDA certified organic meat ingredient in that pet food, then that means it's full of steroids, hormones, and antibiotics, and GMOs, because it's not only what is injected into that animal that's been slaughtered, but also what was put into their food.
00:17:44.750 --> 00:18:00.670
Michele Broderick: So one, it's getting rid of everything that they're not meant to have, that would not have been part of their natural diet in the wild, not what their ancestors would have eaten, nor what they would have been given even when they weren't in the wild anymore.
00:18:00.790 --> 00:18:04.190
Michele Broderick: And we were feeding healthy food from the family farm table.
00:18:04.850 --> 00:18:10.770
Michele Broderick: Two, it's replacing that with only what they are meant to have, what is good for them.
00:18:11.250 --> 00:18:15.990
Michele Broderick: And that is everything that they would have hypothetically eaten in the wild.
00:18:16.010 --> 00:18:16.570
Michele Broderick: So what is that?
00:18:16.590 --> 00:18:19.870
Michele Broderick: That's all healthy meat, fish, vegetables, fruit.
00:18:20.570 --> 00:18:24.110
Michele Broderick: They would, dogs would have hunted and killed, but they also would have foraged.
00:18:24.310 --> 00:18:27.390
Michele Broderick: Cats were, of course, cats are true carnivores.
00:18:27.810 --> 00:18:29.410
Michele Broderick: They would have hunted and killed.
00:18:29.870 --> 00:18:35.030
Michele Broderick: But when a cat hunts and kills a bird, they're not just eating the bird.
00:18:35.050 --> 00:18:37.030
Michele Broderick: And by the way, they would eat all of the bird, right?
00:18:37.050 --> 00:18:41.610
Michele Broderick: Not just, you know, not just the chicken, the perfect little chicken breast off.
00:18:41.630 --> 00:18:46.790
Michele Broderick: No, they would have eaten all of the bird or mouse or rabbit.
00:18:48.010 --> 00:18:54.570
Michele Broderick: And they would have gotten everything that that animal ate, which includes lots of greens, seeds.
00:18:55.930 --> 00:19:16.570
Michele Broderick: So that's why my father created, not only is there a pre-vitamin mineral mix in every single can of cornucopia, along with every single ingredient being 100% organic, but we also created superfood and phytofood supplement powders to compensate for the lack of all those nutrients that these animals just don't have access to anymore.
00:19:17.050 --> 00:19:23.570
Michele Broderick: So superfood and phytofood is everything else that my father wants to be in their diet.
00:19:23.830 --> 00:19:29.950
Michele Broderick: A long list of vitamins, enzymes, nutrients, probiotics, super greens from the earth and sea, like spirulina, sea kelp, chlorella.
00:19:30.450 --> 00:19:41.550
Michele Broderick: These are all things that will help boost the immune system that they would have gotten in nature, not only from what they would have foraged or killed and eaten directly, but also what was inside those animals.
00:19:42.010 --> 00:19:51.210
Michele Broderick: So they really do require a very complicated, well-balanced diet that is not there in commercial pet food.
00:19:51.550 --> 00:19:55.410
Michele Broderick: And very, very difficult to recreate if you're trying to cook for your pets.
00:19:55.930 --> 00:19:56.450
Genie Joseph: Definitely.
00:19:56.690 --> 00:20:11.690
Genie Joseph: Well, I know a lot of people probably don't realize, like it'll say on that label, Meats Afco Minimums, but because the pet food's been so heavily processed, all the natural vitamins, of course, are dead, along with the pathogens from the meat byproducts and other things that they're putting in it.
00:20:11.950 --> 00:20:25.610
Genie Joseph: So what they do is they supplement, they put synthetic vitamins in, so that they can say, yes, it has these vitamins, but these synthetic vitamins, which by the way, are mostly made in China and Vietnam, we have no control over the quality of them.
00:20:25.630 --> 00:20:30.430
Genie Joseph: And synthetic vitamins are not as effective as vitamins that work in whole food.
00:20:30.430 --> 00:20:40.990
Genie Joseph: So when they're in the whole food environment, they work in a complex way, but when you just take one vitamin and make it synthetically, it's really, really not as effective as getting the real thing.
00:20:41.310 --> 00:20:49.390
Genie Joseph: And a lot of people also don't realize that the meat that's even to the degree that it's in the commercial pet food is often not even from the US.
00:20:49.410 --> 00:20:53.610
Genie Joseph: So we don't have control over the quality and what has gone into it.
00:20:53.630 --> 00:21:03.110
Genie Joseph: Most of the meat does come from China, from Costa Rica, from Cambodia, Vietnam, other places like this, that we have no control over the quality of processing.
00:21:03.130 --> 00:21:11.430
Genie Joseph: So when we're working with commercial dog foods, we're really at the mercy of some of the worst practices in terms of wellbeing for animals.
00:21:12.050 --> 00:21:15.770
Genie Joseph: So yeah, that's really important.
00:21:15.790 --> 00:21:17.370
Genie Joseph: So what was it I was gonna ask you?
00:21:17.470 --> 00:21:20.570
Genie Joseph: What did I, it was gonna, there was something that was on my mind I wanted to ask you.
00:21:20.590 --> 00:21:29.790
Michele Broderick: I know you had mentioned before that you wanted to point to a couple of things maybe that are common in ingredients in the commercial pet food.
00:21:30.590 --> 00:21:32.330
Michele Broderick: I know you had mentioned that on the break.
00:21:32.790 --> 00:21:37.030
Michele Broderick: And so for example, chicken meal, very common ingredient in pet food.
00:21:37.050 --> 00:21:37.810
Michele Broderick: What is that?
00:21:38.050 --> 00:21:47.310
Michele Broderick: Well, it's everything that is left over and unusable and considered unusable and unsellable in the human industry.
00:21:47.810 --> 00:21:58.310
Michele Broderick: So the chicken farmers, the chicken slaughterhouses, when they've sold everything they can sell, what's left that gets ground up.
00:21:58.330 --> 00:21:58.890
Michele Broderick: So what is that?
00:21:59.110 --> 00:22:06.110
Michele Broderick: It's the beaks and the feet and parts that you don't even want to know.
00:22:06.210 --> 00:22:09.510
Michele Broderick: And they're just all ground up and that's chicken meal.
00:22:09.530 --> 00:22:11.730
Michele Broderick: And that's what goes as chicken.
00:22:11.930 --> 00:22:15.130
Michele Broderick: So people see chicken meal and they don't pay attention to the word meal.
00:22:15.510 --> 00:22:16.830
Michele Broderick: It doesn't mean anything to them.
00:22:16.850 --> 00:22:18.730
Michele Broderick: And they just think, oh, it has chicken in it, great.
00:22:19.190 --> 00:22:30.190
Michele Broderick: Well, and even if it does have some chicken meat in it, that meat is full of steroids, hormones and antibiotics and GMOs.
00:22:31.170 --> 00:22:44.410
Michele Broderick: So we're talking about literally food that, when we say GMOs, we're talking about food that has literally been genetically, scientifically modified, some sort of insane lab experiment.
00:22:44.430 --> 00:22:49.310
Michele Broderick: I don't know about you, but I don't want that in my food, let alone in my four-legged child's food.
00:22:49.930 --> 00:22:52.590
Michele Broderick: So these are some of the things that we're talking about.
00:22:53.010 --> 00:22:57.330
Michele Broderick: We mentioned before about the different preservatives that are out there.
00:22:57.710 --> 00:23:04.190
Michele Broderick: Cornucopia doesn't have any chemicals, artificial flavors, sweeteners, preservatives in it.
00:23:05.610 --> 00:23:08.970
Michele Broderick: Preservatives is a complicated thing.
00:23:10.450 --> 00:23:15.950
Michele Broderick: These are things that are not meant to be in our food.
00:23:16.130 --> 00:23:19.310
Michele Broderick: They are there to preserve the food, to make it last.
00:23:19.690 --> 00:23:24.110
Michele Broderick: Our grandparents and everyone before them, food went bad, it went bad quickly.
00:23:27.570 --> 00:23:35.130
Michele Broderick: Today, you can buy some certain fast foods, and they say that it will be unchanged a year later.
00:23:35.150 --> 00:23:37.610
Michele Broderick: This is all the preservatives.
00:23:38.210 --> 00:23:39.210
Michele Broderick: It's an awareness.
00:23:39.290 --> 00:23:45.950
Michele Broderick: It's waking up to an awareness of understanding of what we've been doing.
00:23:45.990 --> 00:23:47.250
Michele Broderick: We haven't been doing this forever.
00:23:47.690 --> 00:23:50.130
Michele Broderick: Commercial pet food is a relatively modern invention.
00:23:51.610 --> 00:23:53.830
Michele Broderick: Our grandparents and everyone before them didn't have it.
00:23:54.290 --> 00:23:56.650
Michele Broderick: So it's a relatively modern invention.
00:23:56.890 --> 00:23:57.990
Michele Broderick: We can think of it that way.
00:23:58.210 --> 00:24:08.330
Michele Broderick: We're waking up to the awareness of what it really is, and we're stepping back, and we're asking everyone to think about what they're feeding their pets.
00:24:09.070 --> 00:24:14.030
Michele Broderick: And when we think about what we're feeding our pets, we want to ask ourselves, what were they meant to be fed?
00:24:14.350 --> 00:24:20.750
Michele Broderick: Hypothetically, if I can imagine my dog in the wild, its ancestor in the wild, what would that dog have eaten?
00:24:21.130 --> 00:24:23.090
Michele Broderick: Or we don't even have to go that far back.
00:24:23.390 --> 00:24:29.530
Michele Broderick: Let's just ask ourselves what my great grandmother and grandfather would have fed this dog on the family farm.
00:24:29.550 --> 00:24:31.930
Michele Broderick: And think of it that way.
00:24:32.510 --> 00:24:36.730
Michele Broderick: Now compare that answer to what's in your commercial pet food.
00:24:38.130 --> 00:24:42.450
Michele Broderick: And again, we already said that the kibble has zero nutrients.
00:24:42.810 --> 00:24:55.170
Michele Broderick: So it is literally a bag of chemicals and empty calories and carbs because the nutrients were destroyed in the process of making it because of the high heat required in making all kibble through the process of extrusion.
00:24:55.370 --> 00:25:00.310
Michele Broderick: So that's why our dry food is made fresh every day by hand through dehydration.
00:25:00.450 --> 00:25:10.950
Michele Broderick: So we take literally our cornucopia organic canned food, we take a couple of different flavors, we mix it together in a bowl, we lay it out into thin trays and dehydrate it into little crunchy squares.
00:25:10.970 --> 00:25:14.470
Michele Broderick: We call that our cornucopia crispy crunchy treats, but it's really just our dry food.
00:25:15.170 --> 00:25:18.170
Michele Broderick: We do that because the dehydration doesn't destroy the nutrients.
00:25:19.510 --> 00:25:23.570
Michele Broderick: So we have to step back and rethink.
00:25:24.570 --> 00:25:26.590
Michele Broderick: Who doesn't love their pets?
00:25:26.610 --> 00:25:29.570
Michele Broderick: In my family, we don't even think of them as pets.
00:25:30.110 --> 00:25:33.430
Michele Broderick: They are our children, they are our family members.
00:25:33.450 --> 00:25:39.430
Michele Broderick: When I was growing up on a horse farm here on Long Island, our dogs and cats were my brothers and sisters.
00:25:39.790 --> 00:25:41.470
Michele Broderick: My pets are my children.
00:25:42.070 --> 00:25:43.930
Michele Broderick: What do you want to feed your children?
00:25:44.250 --> 00:25:44.890
Genie Joseph: Exactly.
00:25:45.330 --> 00:25:48.330
Genie Joseph: And I know it's really challenging to read those labels.
00:25:48.350 --> 00:25:57.010
Genie Joseph: If you see those labels with that long list of ingredients and somewhere down there it says blueberry, well, they could have put one blueberry in there and they get to put blueberry on the label.
00:25:57.610 --> 00:25:58.130
Michele Broderick: That's right.
00:25:58.150 --> 00:26:11.470
Michele Broderick: Not only that, but if they have one organic ingredient way down on the list, maybe it's the second, maybe it's the third, maybe it's the tenth ingredient, then they're allowed to say that this food is organic.
00:26:11.650 --> 00:26:16.370
Michele Broderick: Now they're not going to be able to say it's USDA certified organic, but they're going to be able to say it's organic.
00:26:16.890 --> 00:26:19.230
Michele Broderick: What about the word all natural or natural?
00:26:19.410 --> 00:26:21.010
Michele Broderick: That's a word that gets thrown around.
00:26:21.030 --> 00:26:23.490
Michele Broderick: When I was a little girl, that word really meant something.
00:26:24.630 --> 00:26:28.630
Michele Broderick: I grew up in a household where my family was ahead of the game.
00:26:28.650 --> 00:26:30.450
Michele Broderick: They were ahead of their time.
00:26:31.090 --> 00:26:43.310
Michele Broderick: And it was, instead of the commercial cereal on the table in the morning, it was organic bran and goat's milk from the goat lady down the road and fresh fruit.
00:26:44.670 --> 00:26:46.070
Michele Broderick: But natural meant something.
00:26:46.450 --> 00:26:48.330
Michele Broderick: Now that word has been abused.
00:26:48.570 --> 00:26:51.390
Genie Joseph: Yes, it's been co-opted.
00:26:51.410 --> 00:26:53.350
Genie Joseph: There's no regulation for the word natural.
00:26:53.370 --> 00:26:57.750
Genie Joseph: So anybody that has any natural ingredients in the food can put natural on the label.
00:26:58.050 --> 00:27:00.150
Genie Joseph: And maybe there's one ingredient that was natural.
00:27:01.170 --> 00:27:02.530
Genie Joseph: The other 99 were not.
00:27:03.530 --> 00:27:04.130
Michele Broderick: That's right.
00:27:05.010 --> 00:27:05.870
Genie Joseph: Really scary stuff.
00:27:06.070 --> 00:27:14.150
Genie Joseph: I want to talk about your phytonutrients and your broccoli, because I'm a big believer in the fact that the soil isn't so good that we need to supplement.
00:27:14.170 --> 00:27:16.330
Genie Joseph: And I've been trying that myself.
00:27:16.350 --> 00:27:19.390
Genie Joseph: I think it's been just a couple of days that I got some of it.
00:27:19.810 --> 00:27:25.630
Genie Joseph: And what's so interesting is that your broccoli, I forget what it's called, but your broccoli thing, you open it up.
00:27:25.630 --> 00:27:27.710
Michele Broderick: Organic broccoli seed sprout powder.
00:27:27.730 --> 00:27:39.430
Michele Broderick: Literally organic broccoli seeds grown to the sprout level and then harvested at that level, because the sprout level is the level that contains all the nutrients that will eventually disperse into a full grown broccoli plant.
00:27:39.910 --> 00:27:49.070
Michele Broderick: So in one ounce pouch of this organic broccoli seed sprout powder is equivalent to eating a thousand full grown organic broccoli plants.
00:27:49.090 --> 00:27:49.810
Michele Broderick: And who can do that?
00:27:49.830 --> 00:27:54.930
Michele Broderick: So it's a way of getting all those amazing nutrients quickly and easily.
00:27:55.310 --> 00:27:58.710
Genie Joseph: Well, it's really interesting because I opened it up and it smells like broccoli.
00:27:58.930 --> 00:28:00.750
Genie Joseph: I mean, it was like, oh my God, this is broccoli.
00:28:01.870 --> 00:28:06.770
Genie Joseph: It's like our noses are so dead because we've been used to opening things that don't have any good smells.
00:28:08.310 --> 00:28:10.150
Genie Joseph: Here's this thing that's like, wow.
00:28:10.170 --> 00:28:12.770
Genie Joseph: You know, so tell us about the phytonutrients.
00:28:12.790 --> 00:28:13.710
Genie Joseph: Why is that important?
00:28:14.450 --> 00:28:14.870
Michele Broderick: Sure.
00:28:14.990 --> 00:28:22.990
Michele Broderick: So again, what it goes back to is thinking about what is my cat and what is my dog supposed to get?
00:28:23.370 --> 00:28:25.390
Michele Broderick: What did their ancestors eat?
00:28:25.650 --> 00:28:30.530
Michele Broderick: What did, what were they designed by God and by nature to eat?
00:28:30.890 --> 00:28:39.390
Michele Broderick: Well, when we think about that, what we realize is that it's really complicated and that they, a dog, even more, even more so with the dog, right?
00:28:39.410 --> 00:28:49.190
Michele Broderick: Because they would not only would have hunted, but they also would have foraged for fruit and vegetables and other, you know, just things that go outside of just what they would have hunted and killed.
00:28:49.210 --> 00:28:52.050
Michele Broderick: Whereas the cat was just all about the hunting and the killing.
00:28:52.250 --> 00:28:57.670
Michele Broderick: They're true carnivores, but in both cases, they're both eating the same things.
00:28:57.870 --> 00:29:10.550
Michele Broderick: The dog would have foraged for certain vegetation and fruit, but the cat would have gotten it from eating what was inside of the animals that it hunted and killed and ate.
00:29:11.190 --> 00:29:18.490
Michele Broderick: So they're getting the same thing, which is why every single can of cornucopia has been made to be complete and safe for both dogs and cats.
00:29:19.010 --> 00:29:23.270
Michele Broderick: However, in the commercial pet food industry, a dog can eat anything.
00:29:23.310 --> 00:29:24.750
Michele Broderick: They can eat dog food or cat food.
00:29:25.170 --> 00:29:26.510
Michele Broderick: They shouldn't, but they can.
00:29:26.530 --> 00:29:28.090
Michele Broderick: And a cat cannot.
00:29:28.110 --> 00:29:29.930
Michele Broderick: A cat cannot eat commercial dog food.
00:29:29.950 --> 00:29:32.670
Michele Broderick: A cat will die if it eats a diet of commercial dog food.
00:29:32.690 --> 00:29:32.950
Michele Broderick: Why?
00:29:32.970 --> 00:29:34.270
Michele Broderick: Because it doesn't have taurine.
00:29:34.730 --> 00:29:39.110
Michele Broderick: Cornucopia has taurine in everything, because it's good for everybody and there's no reason to leave it out.
00:29:39.930 --> 00:29:52.310
Michele Broderick: So the wide spread of what they would have gotten in their diet is, you know, it's not just with some meat and, well, we'll throw in a little bit of broccoli here and there.
00:29:52.570 --> 00:29:56.190
Michele Broderick: You know, it's a wide range of nutrients.
00:29:56.210 --> 00:30:00.930
Michele Broderick: So when we create a can of cornucopia, there's literally only so much you can put into one can.
00:30:01.090 --> 00:30:04.090
Michele Broderick: There's a point where the formula can't take any more ingredients.
00:30:04.110 --> 00:30:06.490
Michele Broderick: So the rest of the story is in the superfood and phytofood.
00:30:06.730 --> 00:30:13.710
Michele Broderick: Nutrients, just again, you know, a long list of vitamins, enzymes, and then that's the superfood.
00:30:13.730 --> 00:30:17.590
Michele Broderick: And the phytofood is the nutrients and superfoods from the earth and sea.
00:30:18.030 --> 00:30:20.830
Michele Broderick: You know, just things that in Dr.
00:30:20.850 --> 00:30:38.710
Michele Broderick: Broderick's half a century of research, he discovered have tremendous power for healing and lifting up the immune system, vitality, life extension, prevention of cancer, things like spirulina and seachelp and chlorella.
00:30:39.750 --> 00:30:40.950
Michele Broderick: So we put it all together.
00:30:41.210 --> 00:30:43.110
Michele Broderick: We just add a little bit to every meal.
00:30:43.410 --> 00:30:50.470
Michele Broderick: It's just a way of adding additional nutrients and probiotics to their food, just another form of ammunition to help them live longer.
00:30:51.750 --> 00:30:55.370
Genie Joseph: Well, how can people find you, get, learn more about your products?
00:30:55.930 --> 00:30:56.450

Michele Broderick: Broderick's book is also a great resource for learning about him, about his life and about his work and about what he is trying to teach people.
00:32:13.530 --> 00:32:14.030
Genie Joseph: Wonderful.
00:32:14.450 --> 00:32:19.230
Genie Joseph: Well, we're out of time, but I just want to give you one last piece of advice you want to give our listeners.
00:32:19.850 --> 00:32:20.250
Michele Broderick: Sure.
00:32:20.330 --> 00:32:20.670
Michele Broderick: Yes.
00:32:20.770 --> 00:32:21.430
Michele Broderick: Very simple.
00:32:21.830 --> 00:32:33.350
Michele Broderick: We want to, most of us out there, love our dogs and cats just as much as we love our human children and our human parents and siblings.
00:32:33.370 --> 00:32:34.150
Michele Broderick: They are our family.
00:32:35.090 --> 00:32:35.250
Michele Broderick: Dr.
00:32:35.270 --> 00:32:41.210
Michele Broderick: Broderick wants everyone to remember that the animals are our children.
00:32:42.010 --> 00:32:55.550
Michele Broderick: In his visit and time working with Mother Teresa when he had the amazing opportunity to meet her in person, they spoke together about how the animals are his children because she said to him, well, you know, I'm all about the children.
00:32:55.890 --> 00:32:59.810
Michele Broderick: And he said to her, but Mother, these are my children, meaning the animals.
00:33:00.010 --> 00:33:02.350
Michele Broderick: And she said, yes, yes, you're right.
00:33:02.570 --> 00:33:03.470
Michele Broderick: Yes, they are.
00:33:03.490 --> 00:33:04.350
Michele Broderick: They are our children.
00:33:04.370 --> 00:33:05.290
Michele Broderick: Let's treat them that way.
00:33:05.550 --> 00:33:05.890
