"None of these cats evolved to digest food with more than 10% carbohy-drates,
"[D]uring World War ll when the pet food industry was forced to stop using metal to package pet food in cans

"In 1950, the dry food extrusion process, which required adding starch, increased the efficiency and profitability of putting dry pet food into a bag.
"Dough could be fed into a machine and cooked under pressure before being extruded (pushed out) through small holes to create the kibble"

"Supermarket shelves subsequently were stocked with inexpensive, convenient dry cat food that had a 20% to 30% carbohydrate content.
