NOTE FROM TED: Please consult a veterinarian before modifying your pet’s diet. We've flagged this talk for falling outside TEDx's curatorial guidelines because it seems to oversimplify the discourse surrounding pet lifespan and raw food diets, which are currently not recommended by the FDA and AAHA. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t...
