I thought the same thing. I cannot believe this is being done with the consent of the parent company. Its a marketing course survey that needs responses for a grade.

I’m also feeding Pureform. Alfalfa Support. This is a different company. The Pureform we use is Canadian.
The words “whole” and the concept of “organic” are just emotional buzz words to suggest that one food is better than another, with no scientific evidence to back it up.
When I take betacarotene, my night vision improves. But I don’t really like carrots. So I can sit there and eat however many carrots (and try not to gag) to get some extra betacarotene, or I can go buy some betacarotene capsules, or - best yet - I can eat carrot cake!!! Both carrots and carrot cake are a source of betacarotene in “whole” form, but one makes me gag and the other makes me unhealthy. Oh and I bet you can get organic carrot cake, but it still probably won’t be good for you. So maybe in this instance it’s best I swallow the capsule daily.
The benefits of a roughage based diet for horse is very well documented scientifically, and I don’t see the purpose in feeding more “whole” or organic supplements to improve health.

Organic peanut butter cups are still high sugar junk food!
“Organic” is almost a total crock these days. Yes, SOME things are better for us as organic, than not. Spinach, for example.
But “organic” does NOT mean it’s healthier for us.
A man died from eating organic tomatoes from somewhere in Hawaii because of mouse poop on it.

But was it ORGANIC mouse poop? That may be the problem. Damn non-organic mice.
Prickly pears? I’ve always used that cactus as joke nomenclature – 'My horse is such a pig he’d eat prickly pears.’
Prickly pears are some sort of super food for horses? Wow! We have hundreds covering the cacti lining the driveway right now.
