Thank you for this. My Dad's nickname (not legal) is Kevin and he always says that there is a camaraderie between Kevins. He watches the credits of every movie to point out any/all Kevins.

Dr. Greger, I'm a huge fan. I know that a lot of research into consuming meat has shown that it is bad for human health. My question is, how does this translate to other animals? Do you advocate feeding animals thought to be obligate carnivores (like cats) plant-based diets? Do you think that the health risks regarding meat consumption are limited to humans and other omnivores?

Along the same lines, what should we, as plant-based eaters, be feeding our pets?

Also, on a slightly different note, I've found that people are a lot more receptive to hearing about veganism if you approach it from a health perspective, instead of an ethical one. Do you find this to be true, and if so, do you think that this is how vegans should approach discussions with omnivores?

  1. I got Wisdom Panels for both of my dogs. One of them came back as Am Staff. I know that Embark uses APBT as a breed designation, do you disagree with that decision? Why or why not?
  2. If we choose to buy this early iteration of the Cat DNA screen and there are advances in your screening in the future, will those tests be grandfathered into additional health/breed analysis?

I understand. :) Do you have insight on my second question:
